Although all metals have a similar metallic appearance, it is possible to identify silver by its unusually whitish luster. Tin is a darker shade of gray. There are also chemical tests that you can use, but it shouldn't be necessary. There is an instrument called a mass spectrometer which can be used to identify any element with remarkable accuracy.
