[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2637682, member: 22"]Always wise to take a rare earth magnet with you when buying silver coins. I bought a huge collection from a guy 4 weeks ago. The US part of the collection had 4 silver dollars all lined up in trays, the first a Peace Dollar was genuine the other three were fake, I knew just by looking at them. The guy was genuinely innocent, he paid £40 each for them years ago and thought they were real. I gave him a demonstration of a how a RE magnet works on real silver coins. The 3 fakes were magnetic so no demonstration was required.. He gave them to me for free so he would not be accused of selling fakes. They now reside in my fake coin box, for educational purposes.
