How to validate?

How can I validate this as an ounce of silver. Weighs 31.1, gold plated (or colored), with a copy number?

I have some of those. They should be stamped .999 1 troy ounce on the rim if they are real

Drill and chemical test?

Put one on the train tracks before a train goes by, the silver should peek through

I've seen tons of similar rounds...mostly from European sellers, but they are all gold? plated reproductions with a base metal core.

send it to a refinery and hope for the best.

I don't think they put "copy" on silver rounds, just .999.

I have a 3 coin set of double eagle replicas . They are all stamped copy , 1 is a 1907 high relief stamped .999 silver on the rim. One is a 1933 also stamped .999 and the 3rd is a 1933 also but its not stamped .999 and I think it weighs less

Try the ring test. Balance it on the tip of your finger, move it close to your ear and then tap it with a wood pencil. It should have a melodious ring unlike you would get from a brass coin. Try it first with an ASE to see what silver should sound like.

Do a simple specific gravity test.

Nothing simple about a specific gravity test. It requires sensitive laboratory equipment.

No, a simple digital scale, some sewing thread, pure water and it's really easy to do.
