you could do a density test. If you measure the mass of the object and divide it by the volume (displacement test would be easiest) then you have calculated the density. the density of silver is 10.49 so if you get something close to this then it is silver.
You can test if a quarter is real silver by using a magnet; silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not real silver. You can also look for the date on the coin: quarters minted before 1965 are made of 90% silver, while those minted after are made of a copper-nickel alloy.
You can perform a few simple tests to verify if silver is real. You can check for markings or stamps indicating purity, conduct a magnet test (silver is not magnetic), perform a ice test (real silver will melt ice quickly due to its high thermal conductivity), or use a silver testing kit to confirm authenticity.
My grandfather taught me many years ago that for antique silver, true sterling has a "sweet" smell, while silver plate gives off a very faint sulfuric odor. I do not know if this is true for modern silver or not.
Regent silver is typically not real silver but rather silver-plated. It consists of a base metal coated with a thin layer of silver to give it the appearance of real silver while being more affordable.
To determine if silver is real or fake, you can perform a few tests. One common method is the magnet test: silver is not magnetic, so if the item is attracted to a magnet, it's likely not real silver. You can also perform a nitric acid test, where real silver will not react to the acid or will produce a faint creamy color.
