[@fenderaxe]

the quickest and easiest way to check sliver content is to drop the coin on a hard surface. silver has a beautiful ring to it. sandwich coins are very dull sounding, fakes will likely sound dull too, or at least have a different ring different kind of ring than the sound of real silver. it's why the Christmas song of that name is about silver bells...they ring beautifully. it truly is a precious metal... i never checked the 40% halves to see what they sounded like.

[@hugostiglitz4215]

I would like to have seen the discoloration to the coins or what damage is done by the acid. It would be nice to see what it looks like after. Thanks for a great vid!

[@samjohnson466]

Thanks this was helpful. I've been collecting now for about 15 years. When I have a coin of uncertainty, not MS or PF, I place it in pure ammonia overnight. If the ammonia is blue next day it is silver. Added bonus it removes a lot of the dark toning, just rinse and pat dry.

[@dmeyers2260]

I am so grateful to you for making this video. I was not feeling all that confident about a few pieces of silver I had purchased and tried the test in your video. I am really pleased to find out that I did not get ripped off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Silveready1]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching Deb!

[@ChingFong58]

So, did you ruin your coins with the acid while testing with the acid ?

[@dmeyers2260]

No, nothing was ruined because it was authentic and not plated. It made a very small little smudge where I tested and most of that wiped off. I have piece of mind and now just need to wait until the market rises again so I can at least break even!

[@Silveready1]

it may have a significant amount of silver but possibly some ferrous alloys as well. usually I let a small amount of the acid sit on the Silver plated test item for about 15 to 20 seconds, this gives the acid time to burn through the plating and give you a good result.

[@tuber777777777]

That's fabulous information your helping buyers with. Thanks. What type of testing do you recommend when one orders a monster box of silver rounds when they are told that once opened you probably won't get as much on re-sell.

[@denzilritchie2806]

I wish you would have wiped the acid off the coins to show the damage it does to the coin?

[@PatriotCoinRings]

It would have been nice to see you wipe the coins off afterwards to see what you mean as it greatly devalues the coins. I'm kind of left wondering if it greatly stains the silver coin, or to what extent you meant by that. I like the tip though.

[@patrickt873]

Michael D. Baker it won't stain the silver coins as it is non reactive but it's the other non silver coin is what he was talking about

[@DoubleTopHoneyCo]

Michael D. Baker I also would like to kbow why he didn't wipe them off. He said only do it on junk, but what about non junk like rounds and bars... silver eagles. So the question is why not or how to test a tube of rounds from the local pawnshop? You left out that part out.

[@TheParacordWeaver]

Thanks for the information, will come in handy!

[@haleiwahi27]

Great job. much better than other videos I've been watching. Glad I found this site.

[@xtamared]

Ok, scientist here. This doesn't destroy the coin, it only destroys the collector's value of the coin. The acid etches into the metal (the longer you leave the solution on the coin, the more it will etch), so this will eat a very small portion of the silver, but it is on the order of one milligram (1/1000 gram). The reason for the color change - you are testing for the presence of copper or nickel. This will not work if you suspect that a silver bar has been adulterated with tungsten rods, the only way to test for that is to saw it open. This only tests for a copper content in the *outer layer* of the coin. When the nitric acid component of the solution contacts copper it turns blue. Nickel plated coins will also turn green/blue. However, if the coin is a copper alloy *plated with silver*, the solution may indicate falsely that the coin is silver when in fact it is just the outer layer.

[@boblindstrom3479]

A neodymium magnet will test tungsten filled silver or gold bars. Non invasive and no chemicals or sawing required.

[@dregga7638]

"Ok, scientist here" and then proceeding giving the most obvious and simple fact ever, correcting something that has never been claimed (he clearly mentioned the "VALUE" of the coin) is both arrogant and low iq.

HEY MAN, Good vid. A coin I have had an immediate bubbling reaction with silver testing acid and also turned turquoise, can I assume it is not real silver then? Also, you didn't mention fume safety, does it not bother you or because they are only droplets of nitric acid it doesn't do that much harm if you are inhaling in a room, I mean of course providing that you don't sniff up close? thanks

[@RAMKING61]

Glad to hear it! I have several who have had a long tough life and are emaciated.

[@SentaDuck]

@moh2o You could always try measuring its density. If you work out its volume (either by measuring its diameter and thickness or measuring its displacement), then measure its mass. Divide the mass by volume and if its silver it should be about 10.5 g/cm3.

If a coin is worn or scratched and is no longer "collector quality", you may want it for it silver weight value....just as scrap silver.....and melt it or sell it for it's silver weight.

@TheCristo68 but, unless the coin is magnetized -how would a rare earth magnet repel it?

[@Spiritualseeker2007]

Thanks for the video man great job .

[@moviemakerwannabe]

So are the fakes in circulation, going through banks, or are they only in the collecting community? Do banks test coins to see if they are OK or fake? Thank you

[@fenderaxe]

fakes are often sold at swap meets, coin shows hosted by unscrupulous dealers, traveling coin shows at motels/hotels, and through the mail, to people who want silver content but are not savvy about metals counterfeiting.

[@damok9999]

Fakes are made to have numismatic value. That is collector value, like a low mintage date worth x10 the price. The numismatic coin world consists of all types of metals but silver is highly faked nowadays since $ won't buy you as much metal. Thats right the metal isn't worth more your money is worth less.

[@highlander723]

there's an easier way you can measure the inductance of the coin it's similar to how a vending machine tell the difference between a actual coin and washer on a string

[@FloryJohann]

Would this test work if a piece is silver plated?

[@1neAdam12]

Bonnie Flory A strong neodymium magnet does indeed work.

[@subtlename2873]

Acid test will only work on the surface being tested. So, no. It will only co firm whether the coin has silver at the point of application. If electroplated it would pass the acid test. Best to use a few tests together like weight and dimensions. Silver has a very specific density.

[@Silveready1]

The Walking Liberty half Dollars (as featured in the video) are 12.5 Grams of 90% Silver, the Franklin Half Dollars and the 1964 Kennedy Half all have the same weight and Silver content -Thanks for watching!

[@greggh]

Just another tip. If you really need to acid test a coin, you can rub the edge on a jeweler's stone and put the acid on the stone. This will do much less damage to the coin and affect any numismatic value that much.

[@TerryLoerch]

The coin price is worth more then the silver, now its not worth anything but silver price because you put acid on it. The weight should be 26.73 grams, or you could use a magnet instead.

Buy a book on U.S. Coin Values. It's real simple. The coins he used in this video (the real ones) have bullion value, because of the silver content, but very little numismatic value.

[@melaniejurd7965]

My thought exactly. If the coin is ruined by testing it then this test is only good if it spots a fake. Not if you've just wrecked(de-valued) a coin that is legit, that you bought to collect.

I know this comment is a year old, but its still wrong and needs correcting. It is most certainly not useless. This is used on coins of no value other than the silver that is in it. This is to test if its real silver or not and to determine the purity before being melted down for scrap.

Yes, you would prbably have to etch it -although I have tried it on silver plate, I just let the acid sit a little longer and it started turning green.

ive never tried it on alloys (not sure what the result would indicate), as far as the coin, after you wipe the acid off it can be rinsed with warm water and a mild dish soap.
