Morning ARC

Pepper... your post.

"Rub your thumb back and forth on it to see if it leaves a dark streak on the skin.
Smell it and if it has the sulphur/egg smell then it's silver, if just a metallic smell then probably aluminum."

Silver has no smell.

Silver has no smell.

OK if you say so.
But go to your cabinet, take a piece of silver (sterling) rub your thumb on it, sniff.
Been doing this method for over 50 yrs-

Then you have been screwing up for over 50 years...

And i quote...

"Sterling silver is odorless, so go ahead and smell the piece in question. Does it have a noticeable odor? If you can smell sulfur or a distinct metallic fragrance, then it is not sterling silver. The item could be silver-plated, but a scent indicates that it is not made entirely of sterling silver.

Off.

Well I guess the rubbing on a Half Crown, A Barber Half, George Half that produced the blackish mark on the thumb and smells like an egg fart is my imagination then.
