Yeah! When I go shopping for Silver Coins, I always carry about a pocket full of Ice Cubes to test the coins before I buy.
lol
Thats why you carry a cooler with you duhhhh lol
Very amusing!
Tiktok says to keep them in your badger
Glad I wasn’t the only one that did that.
Most people: very informative!
Me, and American: He called the nickel a dime
😂
You can also test silver with ping test and...by the smell ! If you touch a copper, brass coin, the metal will react with your skin and produce a distinct "metallic odor" but if it's silver there will be no smell (unless it's a bad alloy of silver < .680)
Thank you for the information ! I just started stacking for my kids and I’m glad I found this content
Glad it was helpful!
Just a quick point, 999 is not the highest grade of silver as you can get 9999 grade as in Silver Maple leaves.
A miniscule difference, but true.
Oh are they .9999? I didn’t know.
Perth mint, and Korea mint too
Nice, didn't know about the ice test until now. I just purchased a scale and magnet.
Brilliant, Thank you 👍
Great information of silver
Many thanks!
copper is paramagnetic as well
Ice cube test works! Very cool
Somebody’s probably already told you but you do not have a US dime anywhere on the table what you have is a US nickel and it’s called a nickel mainly because it’s made out of a nickel
Actually The five cent 'nickel' is primarily copper.
It is the same 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy first used for the 1865 - 1889 Three Cent 'Nickel' and for the Five Cent 'Nickel' since its introduction in 1866 with the exception of the 1942 - 45 'War Nickels' which had no nickel at all (56% copper, 35% silver, 9% manganese).
The .75 copper, .25 nickel alloy is also the metal used on the outer layers of post 1964 'Copper - Nickel Clad' U.S. coinage such as the Quarter Dollars stacked under the 'nickel' in the video.
I am just using the ice on a heavy 1960s bracelet, I wore in the 1960s. I did not know about the ice test either. It has been about 10 minutes and the bracelet is parcially enbedded in the ice. I am hoping this is a good thing. I placed a piece of ice by itself which is barely showing signs of melting.
Contact surface area ? Mass of the coin ? does or doesn't affect heat transfer ? all other things need to be equal to measure the coefficient of the material
What about specific gravity?
I did this on my silver ring 925 and it melted really quick and the ring got really cold. The ice even got stuck on the surface.
I use a magnetic slide for the silver rounds, its fun...
Copper has the same effect.
It has to do with Lenz' law and magnetic eddy currents.
Was that just a scale for weight? What was it?
Do you use other devices to test for authenticity? What are they? Thanks. I'm just starting and bought a few pieces they came in sealed packaging. Can you still test that or do you have to take out of packaging?
You can do a specific gravity test which measures the density of your coin. For a 999 coin you should get a result of between 10.4 - 10.6
Thanku sir.
It's very useful
1:00 nickel* but great vid nonetheless
@MacKenzie Curtis Says the person getting angry over an internet comment hahaha
I did it on raw silver, and rocks with silver. I was pleasantly surprised.
You can also drop them and listen to the sound. If youe have 2 coins to compare, the silver coin has a lower pitch softer ping.
The tone a silver item makes will always be HIGHER in pitch, not lower. Ever hear a silver bell?
@@sciarico Its usually lower for coins. For similar sized and thickness coins anyways. More dull. A silver bell would be much more pleasant to the ears I think. Are you talking about those little bells they ring at Christmas time? Those are fairly high pitch because of the shape and thickness also may not be 999 pure. A 90% silver coin pings way higher than a 999 pure coin (of the same size and thickness). I just tried it with a few to make sure I'm not blowing smoke.
On a side note the 1920s American peace dollars have the highest pitch and longest ring of any of the rounds or coins I've tried so far. Way higher and longer than any of my 999 or 999+ even. The peace dollars are 90%. One I know has been scanned. Its an amazing ping. They actually sound like the silver bells the hypnotist uses lol.
Interesting experiment, Dr Jake officially earn a PhD in physics.
My necklace is 925, is it good?
925 is considered "sterling". Its real silver yes. Just not 99% pure. Its 92.5% purity. Because its a necklace they cant make it any more pure or it would be too soft and break and bend easily
I use the weight, neodymium test, and I also use a ping test. You can get a ping app tester on your phone. The one I found, for free, is called CoinTester and it does a pretty good job. Important to read the instructions though to fully understand the results you get back on the tests.
Can you test them with fire? I bought two silver bars. I put them on fire for a couple of minutes, they both had very slight yellow tint on them. does that mean they are not very pure?
Lol

Correction: The top coin in the US pile was a nickel not a dime. I like your shows. Keep it up.
You can do a silver gravity test, it's easy fast and foolproof.
Hey that worked, my coins are floating around my room, its pretty cool
What is that?
@@tubbyrainbow111 Specific gravity test.
There are RUclips videos which explain.
A solid piece of any metal is more conductive than the same volume of material stuck in pieces. So getting the same volume stacking pieces is cheating the conductivity.
I like the weigh test, but it should also include precise measurements to be sure.
Another option is to weigh in air and weigh under water, and determine the density.
I love the magnet test for its simplicity, but be cautious. This is incorrect. Its actually because silver conducts electricity well. Copper will do the same thing. It’s called the Lenz effect:
ruclips.net/video/N7tIi71-AjA/видео.html
Yes, silver is a great thermal conductor, but your experiment has two problems:
The fourth coin is a smaller size, and therefore has a smaller thermal mass, and therefore (likely) has less thermal energy available to melt the ice, regardless of its metallic content.
The thermal conductivity between coins in the stack is low, so you’re not getting an apples to apples comparison there, either. When water fills the gaps, it helps, but there are to many variables her to make a comparison.
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews you are welcome Sir 🙏🏻
Silver is not paramagnetic, it is diamagnetic. So if you place silver in a strong external magnetic field (generated by a ferromagnet) the induced magnetic field by the silver should repel. You can measure this field using a magnetometer and find results.
English please!
@@Maya-ld4ck he was just correcting the guy for those of us who have science backgrounds or have a dictionary. Thank you @Hans
@@hanegia Well, We all would like to know exactly what it means, we all weren't good at science.🧐🙌🏽💜😇
nice testing, Sub
It's a great
So i have an original 1796 Draped Bust coin i know that its original by the art work on it just doing my homework. So i did the ice test on the 1796 draped Bust, 1923 peace dollar, 1996 walking.liberty and the 1865 Washington Dollar it was close but the was the 1796 second the 1996 walking liberty 3rd 1923 peace dollar and 4th was the 1865 Washington Dollar.
What coin are you referring to as an "1865 Washington Dollar"?
A U.S. Dollar of 1865 would be of the 'Seated Liberty' design.
The only U.S. 'silver dollar' to depict George Washington was the 1900 Lafayette Commemorative.
I thought the Canadian maple leafs were the purist silver you could get at .9999 fine silver?
He called the nickel a dime twice. If it were one time I could have looked past it, but twice. Now, I have to leave a comment.
I didn’t know silver was paramagnetic. I’ve learned something new today 👍🏻
I thought they were diamagnetic?
You are correct. @@AnonomusKity
9999 is the purest bro. Also, that is not a dime. It is a nickel. If it passed your ice test, it has to be a 35% silver war nickel. They were minted from 1942 to 1945.... I'm not swearing those dates are spot on, but I promise they are close, if not correct
Dominic Edwards not on nickels, that’s for dimes quarters and half dollars. Nickels only had silver during WW2
@@scotttaylor5596 That's what he wrote; _"If it passed your ice test, it has to be a 35% silver war nickel. They were minted from 1942 to 1945...."_
Pre - 1965 U.S. Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars, and Dimes were 90% silver, 10% copper.
Post - 1964 'copper nickel clad' coinage consists of a pure copper core sandwiched between outer layers of 75% copper, 25% nickel which is the same alloy used on the Three Cent 'Nickel' of 1865 - 1889 and for the Five Cent 'Nickel' since its introduction in 1866 with exception of the WW2 era 'War Nickels' which had no nickel in them at all.
The composition of U.S. five cent coins changed in mid - 1942.
Some 1942 five cent coins from Philadelphia and all from San Francisco, as well as all dated 1943 through 1945 were struck on planchets of 56% copper, 35% silver, 9% manganese and were identified by large mint marks above the dome of Monticello including first use of the 'P' mark for Philadelphia.
That dime looked whole lot like a nickel to me... 🤔🤷♂️😂🤣
Perth Mint now make 99.99% silver !!!
And that's a US nickle not a dime
It's a nickel
That's not a dime
The metaldetectorsforgold web page this link is on, could use a proper edit to the English language....
2 hours watching Ice cubes melt 😂
The US quarters, dimes, half dollars and $1 coins made prior to 1964 are 90% silver. The nickles are copper zink like most other currencies
There is no zinc in the U.S. five cent coin.
They are made from he same 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy first used for the 1865 - 1889 Three Cent 'Nickel' and for the Five Cent 'Nickel' since its introduction in 1866 with the exception of the 1942 - 45 'War Nickels' which had no nickel at all (56% copper, 35% silver, 9% manganese).
The .75 copper, .25 nickel alloy is also the metal used on the outer layers of post 1964 'Copper - Nickel Clad' U.S. coinage such as the Quarter Dollars stacked under the 'nickel' in the video.
The bronze U.S. Cent went to a copper plated zinc planchet in mid 1982.

The ice test is real. I Got me a Silver eye of Horus not too long ago and placed an ice cube on top. Compared to a regular coin that barely melted my Horus coin LITERALLY Imprinted itself on to the ice cube after a few minutes. As skeptical as I was my jaw dropped seeing that. Lmao 🤣
So the ice melted quicker than if you had not placed it on the coin?
A specific gravity test would be more reliable.
Diamagnetic
That is a US nickel--a 5 cent piece instead of a dime.
That's a nickel on the quarters not a dime
Thermal conductive reactions should cause the element to rapidly cool. You cannot transfer stored heat from one object to another without sapping the cold from it in return to replace all that heat, unless there is more heat energy continously introduced to the thermal conductor. If you want to really see the power of silver and its thermal conductive properties, than melt the silver into a wire or a long dowel and bend it over and down the outside of a cup from inside with a flattened end bent up at a 90° angle, add boiling hot water to the cup and stick a piece of super cooled ice on the platform resting outside, it should melt the ice incredibly fast and also cool the water despite being as long as it is with two extremes trying to reach a balance through it. Of course you can compare the results with a similar set up made of various other metals such as other less pure silver alloys, or just plain copper, steel, tin, brass, bronze, or iron. If you compare them all side by side there should be an extreme and immediate difference if i understand thermodynamics. Like if you add silver to a red hot graphite crucible the silver will sap all the heat from the crucible, the same should go the other way around. Equal and opposite.
Straight narcissistic wind bag.
If you have foundation on your skin and you rub silver along it will leave a dark streak.
Silver is diamagnetic not paramagnetic.
How you become a doctor is a mistery for me.
You spelled mystery wrong you dumb bastard
American coins have some silver but not alot.
Thomas the Lego Engine no they don't. Not since 1964
Only certain dates. usually pre 64 and most nickels didn't have a lot unless they were during wartime
@@timmmartin2541 barring proofs and some un.circ.'s
@@subtlename2873 true but those aren't coins in circulation
@@timmmartin2541 if some nuckel head spent his grandfather's collection they would be. You will start to see more good coins in circulation because kids today don't know about collecting.
