Checking the authenticity of gold and silver coins and bars can be simple using three quick but effective tests. The magnet allows you to immediately exclude fakes composed of ferromagnetic metals. The sound emitted by gently hitting the metal reveals a lot about its composition. Finally, the diamagnetism test uses the typical property of gold and silver to weakly repel magnets.
These three methods, when used together, offer a quick and reliable check without the need for complex instruments.
