If you have acid it is very easy to make a big mistake, and without acid it is hopeless. It reaches a point where you refuse to buy anything you don't recognize. That means pure silver and stamped sterling and nothing else. I have seen fake medallions out of China that looked, weighed, and jingled exactly the same as pure silver medallions but contained no silver. I am pretty smart, but I never learned how to get a reliable reading with acid. Neither did anybody else that I dealt with. I finally just stopped dealing with them unless they brought me a recognizable coin or ingot.
