<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1425763, member: 29012"]I especially like JM bars and really any bar that has a serial on it, less likely to be a counterfeit. This is also the reason I prefer government minted coins, because they are easier to verify the authenticity of. The combination of testing diameter, height, weight, and specific gravity is a pretty solid way to confirm a coin is real without damaging it. With rounds and bars the height and diameter aren't as well known or as consistent. Specific gravity and weight tests together are not as conclusive without the dimensions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
