A strong magnet test is a quick first check: genuine silver is non-magnetic, so a coin that sticks or slides too slowly may be base metal. A ping test (drop or tap the coin and listen for a long ringing tone) is a further indicator. Acid spot tests and electronic silver testers give more definitive results, and ultrasonic gauges can detect silver-plated counterfeits.
