<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1409728, member: 112"]snap - there is apparently a lot you either don't know or are unaware of. While your acid test may work some of the time, it definitely will not work all of the time. Are you aware for example that Chinese Pandas have been counterfeited, American Platinum Eagles have been counterfeited, same for ASE's and AGE's. Virtually every coin there is, right down to the common Lincoln cent - not rare ones, ones you can find in pocket change - have been counterfeited. Even Sackys, which exist in the billions, have been counterfeited. They are even counterfeits where the purity of the metal is too high, instead of .900 silver they are .910 or .920 silver. Same for gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>An acid test is only the most basic and rudimentary of tests. And it should never be done to coins. An acid test should only be done to bullion or raw ore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
