Dear, I have 14 pieces of 500 francs 150 years of independence and I wonder how you can check whether they are real silver or plated silver.
I've already checked them with an electromagnet and none are attracted.

All info is welcome.
Thank you.

The info I see: 
Silver (.510) = Proof, 
Silver clad copper-nickel (18.5% silver content) = not Proof
That difference should be visible under normal circumstances.
