Is my silver coin fake? Easy testing solution.

Here’s a quick test to find out if your silver coin is fake.

A small drop of silver testing solution on the test coin will tell you if the coin made of real silver. This solution is available  from Amazon for about $5 a bottle. You don’t need much. One bottle should be enough to test many coins.

Here’s how it works:
- the testing solution will change color significantly when applied to a fake silver coin.
- the testing solution will not change color at all on the real silver coin.
- the testing solution will show some discoloration when applied to a coin with low percentage of silver.

WARNING: this test will destroy the value of any collectible coin. Do it only with scrap coins or with coins without numismatic value.

Make sure to use rubber gloves and eye protection while working with the solution. These are dangerous chemicals.
