Can your coin still have silver in it even if a magnet sticks to it and it still has a silver ring sound to it?

No, if a magnet sticks to a coin, it means it does not contain silver because silver is not magnetic. The silver ring sound could be due to the metal composition of the coin or the way it was struck during minting, but it does not necessarily indicate the presence of silver.


How can you determine that a coin is not pure silver if you know the mass and volume of the coin?

Divide the mass by the volume to calculate its density. If its density isn't the same as an equal amount of pure silver, the coin has some other metal in it.The density test can be fooled if the coin was adulterated with other metals that average out to the same density as silver, however.


Can your coin still have silver in it if a magnet sticks to it because it has that silver sound?

It's possible, but the percentage of silver would be very low, as silver is non-magnetic. <<>> If the coin is magnetic it is probably a steel one with plating on top of it. In the UK, 1p and 2p coins are copper-plated steel, while 5p and 10p are steel with nickel plating.
