How to Determine if Silver is Real

these are "Junk" silver coins and Bullion pieces -you wouldn't use this type of test on a Numismatic rarity -best to have an expert check it out. 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. A neodymium magnet is perfect for checking silver.Even without the chemical test it is easy to spot the difference in detail like the lack of points on the stars and lack / difference of detail on libertys dress and I am far from being an expert. Also the blue test color is caused by copper. The weight of the fake be different than a known real coin

The Destruction of the Euro will be great for the US Dollar .In the short run, as the Euro continues its decline it will provide a level of false support for the U.S. dollar. However, if the Euro collapses, our U.S. banks will also collapse as they have their capital tied up in various European banks. So our U.S. banks would need another immediate bailout in that case. Which means the Fed would have to do Q.E. to infinity which would destroy the value of the dollar sending the "price" of ALL commodities higher. Not according to the interconnected Derivatives chain, and not according to Pastor Lindsey Williams either who has warned for a very long time, "Once the Euro goes down, you'll have a week or two at most to make final preparations." Hedge your bets on this one.

MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet
