[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2485340, member: 5515"]Hey everyone, I've really been enjoying our recent discussion on identifying silver in photos so I decided to do another one. For this one, if you are going to play, I want you to try something different to get started. Here's the method I want you to try: 1. Step one is to take in the entire photograph, let your eyes look over the pieces without putting too much thought into the evaluation. 2. Step two, now I want you to try to look at each individual piece. Zoom in! Pretend you are putting blinders on and evaluating any good/bad clues that you see. Try to find clues that are positive/negative to support your theory that something might be real silver. 3. Step three, here's where you start to rank from [U]most likely to be silver[/U] to least likely to be silver using the numbers i have below. 4. Here's a curve ball to this game. I'd like you to try to use a strategy I use. Let's say this listing is $75, and the seller is offering an "all or nothing" type of deal. Assuming you can only see a few photos, what items would you like to see? [U]strategy hint[/U]: If I see items that are very plainly highly likely to be silver, I usually don't ask to see those.

So give me your rankings and tell me what items you would inquire about: [ATTACH=full]266593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]266594[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
