Easy!
1.)Get a bowl large enough for submerging a piece of each. Place each sample in the bowl.
2.) Pour vinegar(any kind) into the bowl.
3.) Wait three minutes.
4.) If one of the sample turns greenish, that's copper. If one turns whitish, that's silver.
5.) If both of them turns whitish or greenish, or no change in color at all, then, the vinegar is fake!
Just kidding!
Why don't you scrape an inner surface where it will not be visible (if it bother's you) and examine the shavings with a magnifying glass and the mark you made. Silver should not have any other color present except silver of course unlike copper shavings where it should be obvious with a magnifying glass. Just a suggestion only of course.
