Quick Guide to Identifying Genuine and Counterfeit Silver Coins
| Distinguishing Dimensions | Characteristics of genuine old silver coins | Common characteristics of counterfeit/fake currency |
| Patina (oxidation layer) | A century of natural oxidation has resulted in rich and layered colors, and the patina is deeply ingrained and does not easily peel off. | Chemical solutions are quick to produce, have a harsh and uniform color, and float on the surface with an oily feel. |
| Sound (identifying silver by its sound) | A light tap with your fingertips produces a crisp, soft sound with a lingering resonance. | The sound is dull (due to high lead/copper content) or excessively sharp and piercing (due to modern alloys). |
| Edge teeth (coin edge process) | The teeth are evenly distributed, deep, and have a natural wear transition from a century of circulation. | The edges are rough, with obvious signs of machine cutting or filing, and are too sharp. |
| Weight (accurate weighing) | It weighs close to the standard of 13.4 grams (with minor wear tolerance). | Excessive weight difference usually indicates that the material is too light (incorrect material) or too heavy. |
