I did use silver solder. You can see the solder but if you clean it up well it will be minimal. Another way to hide the solder joint is to use a "contaminated" pickle solution that will copper-plate the silver joint. Hope this helps.

What kind of solder did you use? If you used silver solder, how did you get it to not be silver on the copper disc?
