Frank: Yes If that is the case, what could one deduce from the old stories about the silver dollar in the water barrel? Could one surmise that contact with the metallic silver is what caused the water to stay fresh? Frank: Unfortunately, we were one tiny step away from being able to conclude that metallic silver (from a silver coin) is what causes water to stay fresh because I was unable to confirm that the 92.5%/7.5% silver copper alloy that I used had the same composition as coinage metal. For example, we found that for the lower grade silver alloys, copper, or zinc, or both probably corroded into DW. So I can't say for sure that coinage metal doesn't have some other germicidal metal that could corrode into DW. However, if my 92.5% silver alloy is, in fact, the same as coinage metal then I believe your statements are correct.
