It's real silver. Since it has a scratch mark now, best I can do is $5

[@XavierWaterworth]

I'm glad i now know "How To if Silver is Fake"

I love it when they say dont do this at home. yet, its a how to video.

[@NewEnglandViews]

It’s real silver... But I have to frame it so I’m taking all the risk

[@furyiiiplate]

A great show with seemingly endless stories and real history lessons.

It’s not fake silver, it’s silver plate. Not fake unless it has hallmarks or silver stamps.

Never put the scratch in an indiscreet place, always go for a discreet place! You've got it backwards buddy.

Thank you very much for wonderful video.. I was finding a good way to check silver and your video helped me. Thanks again.

This would actually be kind of neat for an expanded series. Explain how holloware is bought and sold, as it's different from most other arts. Talk about the different manufacturers, like Gorham, Tiffany, Mauser, or Kalo, and then the approximate values thereof. Maybe comment on how old silver isn't necessarily valuable.

They forgot the "know" in the title lmao

[@simplyJT27]

I think testing the specific gravity would be less destructive.
