Question

How can you determine if a coin is pure silver

Answer 1

Answer:

We can do nitric acid test.

Apply some drops of nitric acid on coin , if the area turns into creamy white then the coin is pure silver.

Answer 2

Answer:

The best way to determine if your coins are silver is to view the edge of the coin. If the coin has a solid silver stripe, then you can feel confident that it’s silver. If you can see a copper stripe, then the coin is clad. A more subdued silver stripe with faint traces of copper could mean that the coin is 40% silver.
