Just getting into this myself. The place I spoke to said they get it straight from the mint. How would they test it though? They told me since they get it from the mint, they trust it's legit.
He means it's primary silver,not secondary purchased from retai seller and resold. Unless it's a shady pawn shop in a really bad part of town,that also sells crack pipes,I would trust them.
Some coins have security features, like the krugerands I mentioned above,they have micro engraving on the coin,that can only be see with a 10 x or so magnification
Also silver can be picked up and dropped in your hand,it has a very distinct sound.
If your really concerned about it,order online from the big dealers,one of the best deals out their is ordering online from Walmart, they just have apmex ship it,and it's actual cheaper from Walmart than apmex.

I watched that video. I had no idea that a magnet would do anything to silver coins.
Very much so! I thought it would have to contain some iron to do that.
Alright, thanks.
