Actually an alloy might be better. Pure silver does not dissolve in water at all, and does not form bonds with anything to make it soluble very easily. However, if you connect silver and copper, you form a crude battery, which will then develop a current, that will then allow the silver to form colloidal silver.
Thus, it seems possible that if you put an alloy of silver and copper into an electrolyte, the copper should react with cations such as sulfates ions, and create a current that causes the silver atoms to get pulled into the liquid where they might form a colloid. A thought anyway. Marshall Tel Tofflemire wrote: > Not many us coins are pure silver. Only one I know is a commemorative $5.00 > Canada Silver Maple Leaf coin.
