<p>[QUOTE="Colonialjohn, post: 2635369, member: 57741"]All XRF analysis are from benchtop XRF devices although surface analysis is of course skewed and the central core of a coin is more accurate to the true alloy of the coin its unquestionably gives you the alloy used. I do SUGGEST these DUROS are probably not contemporary circulating counterfeits (CCCs) or FLASA's as I have compared issues that are IDENTICAL in their dies and even their die breaks. IMO these are either low silver inventory issues in these difficult times or the dies were used by counterfeiters making these brass and bronze issues. Discussed in my new book in the Chapter on Foreign CCCs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
