The only things keeping me from cutting one in half is a online company sold it,,and it does not ring,,and i want it to be real but it does not ring,,but the first video i posted of the guys testing 3 100oz bars well you saw it it did not ring but when they cut it, it was silver,,i am going to go back now and ring test the different weight ones,
if i cut it and it turns out legit i can put it on the bay and prob get a preimum,,,though silver is down $3 since i bought it...Time to buy more,,cashing in a pile o change tomorrow,,,
There would be no metal loss if cut with bolt cutters,,I assume which i should not do about a small preimum,,,but was based on how much 90% is being sold for i.e. morgans/peace dollars..go look at that
How much of a premium was there on that round? I suspect it's less than the dip in the price of silver that we saw yesterday. I say cut it in half. It's going to bug you forever if you don't...
You are right about the dip,,i don't know why i missed that considering i took advantage of the dip already..I am going to borrow cutters today
Maybe I am missing something, but after you cut it in half, what kind of testing will you do? Silver coated steel would still be.....silvery color on the inside.
similar to the first video i posted,,where they cut a bar in half,,you can see its shiny through,,also you could at that point tell if its plated or not
if it has the same dimensions and weight as a genuine 1 oz round, and it passes the magnet test, then it won't be steel on the inside.
Agree, but substitute another metal for steel, the point I was trying to make was - what is gained from cutting the coin in half? Will it be a different color on the inside? As far as I know, there are only two metals that are colored anything but silver, those are gold and copper.
Weight is spot on. Magnet test passes. Here is a weird thing... I have two North American Hunting Club rounds, one supposedly clad and the other 1 oz .999 silver. They are practically identical except the .999 silver round is stamped as such. The .999 silver round is overweight and the clad round is underweight. The clad round rings with a sustained tone, and the .999 silver round clunks (sounds exactly like the buffalo rounds).
