Identification methods

1. Identify silver counterfeiting. Distinguish whether the silver round is genuine or fake. Genuine silver has a soft luster and a smooth white color. The higher the fineness of silver, the whiter its luster. Real silver rounds will shine white after cleaning. The hardness of silver rounds is low. When two silver rounds are rubbed together, they will feel oily and there will be no sound of metal hitting each other. Fake silver coins are made of iron or steel, copper and lead, aluminum and tin, or metal powder and cement. Their color is dark and dull.

2. Listen to the audio to identify fakes. Use the tips of your thumb and forefinger to press the center of the silver circle, or use your middle finger to hold the middle of the silver circle, and hit it with another silver circle. The one with a clear and soft sound is a real silver circle. The high-pitched sound is the counterfeit currency made of steel, the hoarse sound is the counterfeit currency made of copper-tin alloy, the dull sound is the counterfeit currency made of silver-coated copper stuffing, and the silent one is the counterfeit currency made of metal powder and cement.

3. Distinguish counterfeiting. There is a layer of silver oxide on the surface of handed down silver rounds, which is often called patina. The patina mainly includes light black, light gray, light orange and millet shell color. The patina produced by rubbing it with shoe polish and grilling it with wax fire is a heavy black color that can be easily recognized at a glance. Identifying patina is an effective way to identify silver coins.
