[QUOTE="ffrickey, post: 724492, member: 20613"]Looks neat to me. Why should encircling a coin in a gold ring be any worse than slabbing it? I can understand that boring a hole or sautering something onto it would devalue, but this setting looks pretty protective of the coin. Another question: is there a good rough-and-ready test for the gold content of a coin that can be done without chipping off a piece for chemical analysis? Maybe like measuring the volume and weight VERY carefully?[/QUOTE]
