Cupronickel sets typically have a reddish tint due to the copper content, while silver sets have a brighter, white-silver color. You can also use a magnet to distinguish between them - silver is non-magnetic, while cupronickel is slightly magnetic. Finally, you can perform a acid test or take it to a professional to determine the metal composition.
