<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 478111, member: 2486&quot;]I had&nbsp; a gold coin in a bezel that was worn by a relative many years ago.</p><p>The look of that coin compaired to these is totally different!</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in the bezel was littered with small marks when looked at closely! It was also shiny in apperance due to contact with skin, water, soap and lord knows what else over the years. It had been cleaned the whole gamut of bad things to do to a coin...LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins look dull and have like a porus surface to them unlike a natural gold coin. I can not say with 100% certainty, but I would suspect these to be cast as well. Since the coin is in rough looking shape and&nbsp; very dull looking for gold the ultimate test would be the nitric acid test!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any metal not being gold would begin to degenerate when immersed in Nitric Acid! Since gold is resistant to all forms of corrosion, why not try it?</p><p><br /></p><p>The sodering on these coins have ruined them anyway except for any gold content..</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
