Silver is not magnetic. If you place a strong, rare-earth magnet called a Neodymium magnet on a silver coin or bar, it should not easily stick to it.

If you are testing bars, you can angle one at 45 degrees and let the magnet slide down. It should slide down very slowly. If it sticks or it slides very quickly, it is not silver.The magnet should slide slowly down the face of the bar. The magnetic field of the magnet itself causes an electromagnetic braking effect that slows down the magnet.

However, keep in mind that just because the magnet does not stick does not necessarily mean that it is silver.
