This is a repost from another place from a helpful Brit......
This is the main method that we use when checking anything that looks like silver over here in the UK,trust me it works very well,its a simple test but the smell of rotten egss will tell you that its the real deal or not.
The easiest test for silver is the spit test. Spit on the coin or item and immediately wrap it in aluminum foil for 10 seconds
When you unwrap it you will smell rotten eggs - hydrogen sulphide because most silver has a little tarnish on it which is silver sulphide!!!!!
