How do you tell a silver coin from other coins?
One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.
Will silver plated stick to a magnet?
You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.
