r/silverstacking

Normally when I see W M Rogers on a piece I keep moving but these didn’t say silver plate plus they have a couple of stars on them plus they have the marking I S (international silver), plus, Rogers’ DID make some sterling. All of that can mean nothing with Rogers’ stuff so I took the file out of my pocket knife and spent a couple of minutes filing on the side of one handle and bottom of a spoon bowl and never found copper, so since they were only $2 I took a risk. I can’t really allow myself to believe these are really sterling but I’m no expert so I thought I’d share these here and see what the consensus is.

I filled most of my grandfather's coin books.

Relatively new to getting into silver, have a couple ozs but never bought a coin before. I actually got this one with the $15 welcome money on whatnot so really only paid $4.29 or so for shipping. I think this looks in fairly good shape for its age. Do you all think this was worth the $15 paid for it?

Found this at an antique store for $145 after tax. Currently functioning as well. I am debating breaking the coins out but I’m not sure yet.

EDIT: I got excited and screwed up my math so I paid over spot by like $13. But I now have a new clock lol

I can cover shipping as this is my first 1 KG bar.

I can also polish the bar or stamp it after we agree on a deal.

I accept PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle.

Thanks!

About a year in. Approximately 69ozt. Continuing to buy, buy, buy! Also have 2 100oz in my safety deposit box.

I have a few more ounces coming in the mail

I think I need to stack more pandas. Make sure I cover the top two world economies.

Its getting prettier

As described this is a 250th mint they made for America’s birthday and I am a fan of being able to collect for this milestone. Slight premium for sure but it’s an absolute beauty. Dang thang is a mirror. Well done imo from the mint. Zoom in for the 250 on the bell.

As the title says. I think it’s beautiful!

Silver and both copper exhibit diamagnetic properties. Using strong neodymium magnets is another tool to distinguish silver and copper from steel and non ferrous alloys used in counterfeits.

Not a perfect sleuthing tool, just a good test to rule out non ferrous and ferrous fake silver. Slide test reveal slight hangups for clads with copper, and delayed slide on .999 silver

Clads hang up slightly on slide tests due to copper content. Penny has little so drops a lot faster

Tested in order:

2025 copper-plated aluminum Lincoln

2018 Jefferson nickle*

2024 Roosevelt dime

1967 Washington Quarter

1776-2026 Liberty Half Dollar

(*No copper in the nickle, doesn’t hang up.) Non ferrous alloy category.

OPM 1 oz silver bar .999 Ag

Counterfeit Sunshine Mint 1 oz bar

Silver plated steel. Very nice counterfeit.

Hope this helps, 🙏 R / Dr H
