Some real silver and some fake silver comes into the shop. I show you the difference and how to tell what's real and what's fake. Plus, we hit yard sales and find some pretty good finds. One being a huge lot of video games.
Plated silver also has a smell... just smells like old metal and stinky. Sterling does not. That is why sterling is used to eat with... plated silver stuff stinks when you smell it up close.
Thank for the information you are sharing on identifying silver and gold. Would you be willing to share information to find a buyer for scrap? Such as local broker or online broker of some sort?
