    Brilliant test. Just tried it on a large silver spoon. The magnet does not stick to the silver but only has a slight attraction while it is moving over the silver. Thank you!

  • @kenneth86
    @kenneth86 Před 6 lety +6

    Its called EDDY currents. Its creating an electric current inside the silver round, causing a magnetic restriction on the moving. Its the same as dropping a magent through a copper coil that the ends are shorted out. The magnet will fall super slow as the electricity its generating puts magnetic friction on the motion downward with gravity...... I always do the thermal test with it. Hold one end, touch the other something ice cold. less then 2 sec the whole coin should be the same temp as the ice cube.

  • @JesusChrist5000
    @JesusChrist5000 Před 2 lety +1

    The "magnetic" force that the Neodynium magnet does on silver is not magnetism. It is actually anti gravity. I think it will work on gold and copper as well. They are in the same column of the periodic table of elements.

    Thanks for this great video,, I have been buying Morgans, Peace, and silver rounds for a couple years now and have a good little stash, and never once thought of fakes till I seen this vid yesterday. I went right to Home Depot after work and bought a cool Neodymium magnet for $4 and did the test,,,
    Not a single fake in the bunch,,!,, I have bought from a few private e-bay sales and a couple professional online silver dealers and it was nice to know I have got scammed. Now I will check each one when I get it,,,

    problem is, if a fake coin has a copper center core it will also make the magnet move slowly.. both silver and copper have almost the same influence on the magnet (eddy currents)

    I've been stacking for two years now and hadn't had any fakes. Did alot of my shoping online and used ebay on a significant number of purchases, no problems - until recently.
    Out of the five coins bought two were fakes. I bought a proof/reverse proof SSSB round with all the bells and whistles (the box with SS on & the signed cert etc)
    It looked the "dogs B's",the weight was perfect but it rang like foil wrapped chocolate! It was just nasty.
    And today I received a round i liked the look of ( New World Order, Honest Weights For Honest Men); it was just unusual and, though I do not necessarily agree with its sentiments, it looked quirky and unusual. Did my due diligence.
    It came in at 29.3grams, rang like copper but, worst of all! the neodymium stuck to it like a hungry mole on a worm sandwich. It even hugged the edge. I've never seen that before.
    Didn't bother with the specific gravity test.
    Filed for a refund just now.

    In a book Sears gave me to read in preparation to be a store detective I read than an expert will know how exactly far from the coin to make it look like the coin is silver but the coin will be steel or copper with a nickel coating. Also, the angle to the coin is important- a little difference between a fake seeming to be silver. Also if you have some fakes you can say it is a fake to some potential buyers who collect the fakes. Keep your ears open in case the buyer is not saying that the coin is a fake to a potential buyer of his- do not sell to him again.

    Lenz's law.. magnet has a magnetic field, induces a magnetic field into the silver. Silver is an excellent conductor, any conductor will do the same that is not ferrous. Drop one of those magnets down a copper pipe and it will fall very slowly because of 2 magnetics fields. That also why an electric motor works...

    what you do is do this basic test with the magnet, that roots out steel and brass silver plated then you either buy an identifying metal detector(vlf), or get a detectorist to scan them.
    a magnet wont discriminate between copper and silver but a vlf detector with target id will, silver stackers can always acid test of course, coin collectors can buy a detector.

      Jules Verne Check your Local Community Libraries for ``Mineralogy Science Books`` they will tell ALL Celtics and Celtic Peoples for the ``Specific Densities for both GOLD an SILVER`` this Celtics Knowledge will NOW NOT allow any Criminal Jews of the Federal Reserve Banks of America United States can ``NEVER`` fool any Celtic Peoples about the Actual Specific Densities of GOLD and SILVER Precious Mineralogy Metals. The Jews of the Criminal Federal Reserve Banks of America United States will be finished for armed with this Knowledge of the Mineralogy Specific Densities of both GOLD and SILVER Precious Metals is Science Listed as in Grams per Cubic Centimeter or ``Specific Gravity Densities of conversion to Grams to Milli-Liter Cubed or Centimeter Cubed Cm.^3 of Volume in the ""Simple Science Celtic Equation of Density= Mass( of Gold or Silver.)/(divided by.)

    Rule #1 Never ever buy precious metal off of Ebay or Amazon.

      I always buy off eBay. Look at reviews. If you know where you’re buying from it’s impossible to get fakes. APMEX, and many more trusted shops are on eBay

    Very good. But how do I know if my magnet is real neodymium?

  • @geoffreywren2053
    @geoffreywren2053 Před 3 lety

    This is good. Even dealers often do not know this. One caveat. Copper too will produce a slow magnet. So a silver coated copper round would not fail this test. It would be thicker though.

    The magnet will slow with pure copper too. silver and copper are both diamagnetic.

    I am just an amateur coin collector, starting in the 1960's as a kid. I understand the coin is a fake that the magnet sticks to. However, if US silver coins are 90% silver and 10% copper, why would there be any draw to the magnet? Also, how do counterfeiters make fakes completely void if iron? They must use some sort of "junk" mixture of metals, no?

    • @careybrown6172
      @careybrown6172 Před 7 lety +2

      The real silver coins aren't "drawn" to the magnet. Think of it more of if your sliding the magnet down a teflon coated plastic vs rubber. Neither is magnetic, but the magnet will behave very differently on each surface.

    • @Stanman121
      @Stanman121 Před 7 lety +1

      It's called diamagnetic properties of some metals. Read all about it. Fakers can plate other cheap materials.

    hi so they are supposed to slide and if they do not slide then they are fakes right ??

    About what size and thickness is your magnet?

    • @Silveready1
      @Silveready1  Před 4 lety

      it's about the size of a nickel - but has to be a neodymium magnet.
