I know you want it!

Second to gold they make a great door stop. I had one from @HOLDON a bit back Nice chunk of silver to have. 

[HOLDON]

And there ain’t no amount of wind gonna blow that door shut

Gorgeous bar!

Ok 

I tried not to show my lack of knowledge but it has got the better of me.  What is the weight in water thing.

I’ve never seen that before? 
👍

Specific gravity test, very easy to do and really helpful on larger bars.

Thanks guys. I’m away to research this. 👍

I’d never heard of this either, so I’m glad you asked the question!

Several videos out there but BYB

explains it well here

This is very interesting. Can I find the specific gravity of say 900 or 800 silver from the specific gravity of 999? 

Would it be any more accurate to tare the scales with the empty pan and then add the water? Or am I over complicating matters?

Specific gravity of .999 silver 10.41

Sterling silver 10.36

90% silver 10.31

80% silver 10.13

In regards to water/pot and scales, yes your over complicating it, just zero scales when water is on top.

Does it matter what the silver is alloyed with?

Thanks @James32 I'll now enjoy figuring out the relationships. I'm awaiting arrival of a middle eastern piece of 900? which is getting towards 2 kilo and can hopefully verify without pestering my local friendly jeweller.

To be completely honest, I've only ever done pure silver, so I can't answer that with a straight face. @stefffana likes  lower .800 etc, maybe he can answer that.

Actually I doubt it on coins as 90% of something is 90% and should get you close enough to be in the ballpark of being genuine. Maybe on a 50kg bar it would play a role 😆

Depending on mix of metals it will vary slightly as all metals have different density’s. 
If you know the metals it’s mixed with you could check density of each metal to make an accurate calculation.

The only metal added in silver alloy used for coinage or flatware is copper, to increase the hardness and to make them more durable for daily use.

I know it's already been explained but in further detail: The weight suspended in water gives you the volume of the item since you are effectively weighing the displaced water. Since pure water weighs 1kg per litre or 1g per ml the bar in question is 480ml or 480cm3 about the same as a large can of beer 🍻

Dividing the weigh by volume gives you the SG or density.
