    apparently its an alloy of copper nickel and zinc which has similar properties to silver like low corrosion etc. Wonder how many will fall for this scam

    well its really nothing new:

    New Silver a.k.a: nickel silver, argentann, nickel brass, alpacca, etc

    Why would it be a scam? :) Someone is selling "new silver", ofc seller should mention that this is an alloy not real silver, but thats another thing.
