I thought that’s why there were different types of gold acid testing solution? Like if you applied 22K acid to 14K gold there should be damage...
I can’t read Chinese so I don’t know what the official stats are. But I do know they are being advertised as 1 troy oz and even the Chinese said...
Thanks for the info! Just one more question: What will happen if I apply this 22K testing solution to an authentic American Gold Eagle? An AGE...
That’s a big chunk of gold to me. Especially when gold is at almost $1900/ozt.
Well you never know your dad could be mistaken or not remembering things correctly. If he was around in WW2 he must be an elderly man by now and...
Yes White Fivers were the most common notes in circulation. That’s why the Germans chose to counterfeit them. Even Wikipedia says so. [ATTACH]
