Title:
S.S. Gairsoppa Silver Round
Description:
1 Troy Ounce .999 pure silver SS Gairsoppa Certified shipwreck silver. The Gairsoppa was sunk by a german Uboat during WWII, it laid at the bottom of the sea 3 miles deep for 70 years, and was just recovered recently. This silver was under the sea for 7 decades and recovered and minted into these special pieces - yes, this is the actual silver recovered!
Silver Tips to keep you relatively safe:
1. Silver should weigh 31.1 to 31.8 grams - any heavier, it probably is fake, any lighter it probably is fake. The mint will almost never have it lighter then 31.1 as they don’t want to cheat you out of silver, they also will most likely not make it heavier then 31.8 so as to not ”give away” free silver. You can purchase a cheap digital scale here on ebay, you just need a small one weighing grams to the 100th ie 31.18.
2. Get a strong magnet, small and circular in size, (can be found at any electronics store or even here on ebay) Hold your silver piece at 90 degree angle with magnet at the top, let the magnet slide down the surface. If it falls off or slides rapidly, it’s probably fake. If it sticks, it’s probably fake, it should just glide down the piece all most purposely (sort of slow and controlled, but not too slow). Practice a bit - you will get the hang of it.
3. Hold a piece of known silver on the tip of your finger, balancing it, take another piece and give it a little tap. You should hear a nice bell ringing tone. If it clinks it probably isn’t real.
Even if you don’t purchase from me, feel free to contact me with any questions you have regarding silver, I respond quickly and am always glad to help!
