Silver is hard to work with so probably silver
No. Silver is heavier than nickel.
Yes, by about 8.2%. (rounded)
Forming elements heavier than iron and nickel requires the input of energy. Super nova explosions result when the cores of massive stars have exhausted their fuel supplies and burned everything into iron and nickel. The star then collapses and explodes. Nuclei with mass heavier than nickel (gold, silver, lead, uranium, etc.) form in the explosions. This is called nucleosynthesis. These elements form over seconds, compared to the lighter ones that took billions of years to form, and are much rarer. This material is thrown out into space and can end up in later generation stars and planets.
Silver plated nickel will have no resale value.
The chemical symbol of nickel is Ni.The chemical symbol of silver is Ag.
nickel, copper, silver, zinc, tin, etc.
silver
Nickel is a silver-colored metal that tends to have a more yellowish tint compared to silver. Additionally, nickel is not as shiny as silver and is heavier than silver. You can also check for markings on the metal to confirm the material.
Yes, Steel is a harder metal than Silver. :)
Platinum metal looks like silver but is heavier than a coin. Platinum is equivalent in color to silver. The platinum is also heavier than the silver itself.
Gold has a specific gravity of 19.29, silver has a specific gravity of 10.46. Gold is heavier.

No, nickel is an element. Silver is another element. Neither are alloys, silver only contains silver, nickel only contains nickel. "German silver", which is not actually silver, does contain nickel. It's a silver-colored alloy of nickel, copper and zinc.
There are a number of reasons:Copper-nickel alloy is much cheaper than silverIt is harder, so lasts longerIt tarnishes less readily than silver
Nickel is used to make magnets more often than silver is, for two main reasons: 1). Silver is much more expensive than nickel. 2). Silver is diamagnetic. That means it has a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields, it's slightly repelled by a magnetic field, and it does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. That means that even if silver were much cheaper than nickel, silver makes crummy magnets that are totally useless as magnets, and you would just have to use nickel anyway.
Based on the periodic table, gold is heavier than silver.
No. Canada stopped using silver in their 5 cent piece after 1921, and that coin was much smaller than the nickel.
...If it is nickel silver it contains no silver. It is rather an alloy of nickel and copper to create the look of silver.
