Does the silver coin pass a magnification check? Although the methods listed above will usually enable you to rule out most fakes (especially the weight test,) sometimes close examination under a strong magnifier settles the matter. Look for silver plating that failed to fill into tiny spots and crevices. Look at the edge of the coin to see if the plating is visible where the rim meets the side; also look between the reeding. Sometimes just looking at the fields under 10x is enough to condemn the silver coin as a fake, because the fields may appear rough, or have spots of copper or other non-silver impurities.
Buy Buffalo gold coins.

One of the most common hobbies is collecting money. Many people have enjoyed this activity for decades and money collecting is thriving even today. As a hobby, collecting money means collecting old money. Otherwise, we are all trying to collect money before the bills come. However, do you know how many people collect old money, antique notes and coins from previous decades and even centuries?
Buy silver dollars for a great investment.

When investing you want to weigh very heavily towards the coins that are most readily accepted at coin dealerships and markets around the word. Following are some of the most popular styles: American Eagle, American Buffalo, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, Chinese Gold Panda, and Vienna Philharmonic. Some of the above listed coins are 22 karat gold (Eagles and Krugerrands) and others are 24 karat gold (Buffalos, Maple Leafs, Pandas, and Philharmonics). The great thing about buying a good variety of coins is you will diversify between 22 karat and 24 karat as well. Before buying, make sure you do your research and don't let the coin dealer talk you into something you're not interested in owning.
