puts on professor glasses
welcome to "how to authenticate coins without crying" with your host, a coin dealer who has seen THINGS.
the 4 tests that will save your wallet:
🏋️ weight test: get yourself a decent scale. 5.81g or we're having problems.
🧲 magnet test: if it sticks, it's not silver bestie. physics doesn't lie.
📏 edge examination: count those ridges like your life depends on it. 119 is the magic number.
🎵 sound test: real silver rings like an angel. fake silver sounds like broken dreams.
These tests take literally 2 minutes but will save you from buying expensive regrets.
We use this exact process for every coin that comes through our shop because authenticity is sexy and counterfeits are not.
class dismissed. go forth and authenticate responsibly.
