<p>[QUOTE="jeffm, post: 780153, member: 22453"]10 a-mark one ounce rounds weighed, 3 31.1g, 2 31.2 g, 1 31.3 g, 3 31.2 g, 1 31.4 g. All pretty close, 31.4 g was the round in question, the heaviest of all. I'm sorry, but I just cannot tell if it makes the silver sound. To me it sounds different, but it could be all in my head. It's surface almost reminds me of a cheap arcade token, all the others look like silver. They have a nearly mirrored finish, where the one in the left in the picture does not. Some have tarnishes or toning of different colors, but even the most tarnished piece is still nearly a mirrored finish. It is worth noting that the detail is much lesser quality in the suspect and that the suspect is not stamped on center, meaning the rim of the coin is skinnier at the top and fatter at the bottom, as seen in the picture. I suppose I need to measure something more complex, like the density or specific gravity of a few pieces? Or buy a test kit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
