    When I was young, the tills had a slab of marble on them. The cashier could drop the money on the slab and if it did not ring, it was fake silver, no sale.

    Not to mention the tint of silver, which is dark gray, at least when it has been allowed to corrode on it's surface, looking at old silverware which has been left in the open, you can often see it's, or it has features almost black in color. "Sometimes these are plated silver" is very correct - why you might not want to trust your eyes only.

    To a typical person on a stand alone piece it is impossible to determine whether the coin is of real silver or not. However, if given a multiple choice to compare pieces, then there is chance that a choice can be made to decide whether a piece is fake or real.

    just a heads up, my pinger app (iPhone) is saying I need a subscription for the full array of coins. kinda sucky but I already bought the pinger. ive got a sigma so no big deal, I just despise subscriptions. Also unless I missed it, the neodymium magnet test is a good one.

    God is for everyone on the planet. It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or atheist or just don’t give a crap about any of it either way. Whether you like it or not, the moment you die, you WILL instantly be in this place that you have been a part of for eons. Doesn’t matter your religion, your beliefs or anything. Everyone from every part of this planet comes from the SAME place. This is a FACT and you will be there like it or not. No matter what kind of person you are, good or evil or somewhere in between. You can’t escape it, you ARE a being of light in this meat suit, we call a human body. Some things are true, whether we like it or not. When you cross over after death, all the knowledge of the universe will come flooding back into you, reminding you who you really are. I know this sounds like a complete fairy tale that someone made up to trick and play games with you, but it really isn’t, I promise you, for what it’s worth. It’s 100% Fact, not fictitious. YOU WILL SEE MY FRIEND. 🌸🙏 GOD BLESS TO ALL
