I haven't Acid Tested Silver and Gold in over 10 years, and the Silver Acid would damage the coins..
I do have a good Electronic Gold Tester that makes a good Paper Weight when silver is involved..
I received this in payment a while back, and even though I didn't want any money, they wanted me to have it..
With all the fraud on the Internet, you can't be to careful, and this is why I want to confirm this is the real thing, and since I was only looking for spot + postage, cutting this in pieces is not a problem, and if genuine, will have to wait for spot/scrape to increase and sell later..
I know Errors and thought if someone educated enough in .925 Silver Statues can confirm at a glance, would jump on this, as I do in Errors, thus securing the money to cover my bid..
The last photos I posted, I thought was Silver Plated under UV light, then when I shaved a small section, it was Silver under whatever the coating was..
Was looking for other ways to test it in house..
