That is specific gravity, not atomic weight nor specific weight. The point made was weight i.e. heaviest metal, not the densest metal.
You have apparently never done this since your only advice is to keep repeating past performance as a guide, then run to insults when questioned....
Most metals, even gold, are not improved much by getting them to .999 purity. Alloys tend to be much stronger than pure elements. .999 gold...
Wait. What? Osmium, Iridium, Platinum & Rhenium are less dense (lower atomic weight) than Gold & Lead. Plutonium does not occur in nature and...
Hindsight is 20/20 and only the naive pick stock based on what happened 11 years ago. This is the same for gold and for stocks. You don't seem...

I usually don't take much stock in ebay prices as a barometer for whether to invest in a coin or metal. However I will note that if ebay is down...
Indeed. Prior to 100% fiat money this is the only reason for government coinage of precious metals. It is a convenient assay of the metal at...
This is the major issue with bullion bars versus official mint issued gold coinage. Not only do you have to determine if it is solid gold, but...

The coin was denominated in Austrian Schillings prior to the introduction of the Euro in the early 2000s. I'd assume they would revert back to...
I own one of the proofs and the basic problem I see with these things is they were billed to be a 5 ounce quarter. What we got was a 5 ounce...
