<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 8365864, member: 93146&quot;]When I wanted to check on the metal content of an ancient coin, I went to a mining engineer. His business is to test the purity of bullion and ore samples. He had the equipment and of course knew how to use and calibrate it. I had various parts of my coin examined by electron microscope and xrf.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since he was an individual operator, and I a collector, his rate was reasonable.</p><p><br /></p><p>My recommendation is to find a similar operation in your area. Given the value of your coins, that you want only two pieces tested, and since you are an individual, I’m sure the experience will be both affordable and educational.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
