    Well it turns out that less then 10% of the "silver" was real and the rest FAKE. The couple waited as he went through it and tested piece after piece finding most of it to not be silver. They got upset as they believed they were being conned or something.

    They left with it all, But returned a few days later with what had been sorted out as real and cashed it in as they needed the cash.

    Wonder what they did with the rest?
    The story is too generalized to draw any conclusions about intentional deception CD. It might have been grandma's silverware or silver tea set. Most folks wouldn't know the difference between sterling silver and silver plate. Investing in silver is really more a guy thing so your story about " FAKE " silver really doesn't ring true.

    You're just obsessed with fakes.



    People paint what they see.
