There is silver hydroxide AgOH, silver oxide Ag2O, and two silver peroxides AgO 
and AgO2 according to my CRC handbook (except it does not mention silver 
hydroxide).

That would be silver hydroxide.

Yes, oxide should be Ag2O, and AgO or Ag2O2 should be silver peroxide.

No this is silver oxide.

Don't find it in my CRC, just Ag2O2 which is the true form of crystaline AgO.

True, those are the silver chloride complexes I have mentioned that are 
soluble, the reason the solubility curve for silver chloride turns back up when 
you add additional chloride ions to the solution.

Silver will precipitate out as a metal when exposed to a metal that has a 
higher electopotential.  Thus it will plate out on copper, and and also iron if 
I remember right. A standard test for silver ions (ie silver nitrate) is to put 
some copper into the solution and see if it turns silver colored.
