If you ring is not real silver you will be able to tell, if your finger where your ring is placed goes green. If I have eaten too many foods with acid in them, all of my rings including my Gold rings turn my fingers green. Silver should have .925 stamped on it.

Yes. Silver tone jewelry will turn your finger green because the metal under the silver tone is probably a brass which contains copper. It is the copper that turns your finger green.
The acidity in skin has tendency to cause silver to turn black or green. This is a corrosive agent that can be cleaned with a quality silver cleaner.
Silver stamped 975 will not turn your finger green.
One way to test a coin for real silver is to use a silver testing kit that includes nitric acid. You can apply a drop of acid on a small inconspicuous area of the coin and observe the reaction. If the coin is made of silver, it will turn a creamy color. Alternatively, you can use a magnet to check for magnetic properties, as silver is not magnetic.
To determine if silver is real or fake, you can perform a few tests. One common method is the magnet test: silver is not magnetic, so if the item is attracted to a magnet, it's likely not real silver. You can also perform a nitric acid test, where real silver will not react to the acid or will produce a faint creamy color.
