Shocking results.....:eek::jawdrop: I can't believe such a reputable coin shop here in the south Florida area would sell me this. It turned out the coin is..... Real, quite real indeed. Weight is good, diameter is good, sigma is good. :p Man, I love this new Sigma. In a year or two I think I'll spring for a Pro with all the package, but for now this machine will give me peace of mind. I buy from reputable sources, but it's still nice to verify. I'll have to do a writeup with this machine for those wondering how it works. All my gold passed with flying colors. However...

So keep that in mind when testing unusually large and thin or very small coins, use the wands for those. *Also verify any such coins with a scale and calipers for extra security.
