In my experience the answer is no, you cant. You need to trust the person you are buying it from, as well as trust your instincts. bring a magnet, and a scale, know what the item should weigh down to at least 1 decimal (most will say 2).
All bars will have the name of who produced it stamped into it, again, know what the stamp should look like, and inspect this.
Buying silver is a lot about knowing who you are dealing with, and knowing what the silver should look like and weigh.
