[QUOTE="Michael H Webb, post: 3229315, member: 93313"]Received a [B]Brifit Digital Mini Scale, 200g /0.01g Pocket Scale with 50g calibration weight[/B] and a [B]Universal specific gravity kit[/B] from [B]bullion-traderuk[/B]. The specific gravity of the coin was 8.7 gm/cc, weighing in at 50.35 gm and displacing 5.78 cc of water. Result very similar to tin/lead solder. A genuine coin weighed 44.30 gm and displaced 4.13 cc of water (10.7 gm/cc). Air bubbles in the samples are likely the cause of the elevated density readings. 60/40 solder has a specific gravity of 8.51 gm/cc, while pure silver has a specific gravity of 10.49 gm/cc. Even so, using the edge of the coin, was able to print the following note: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/4UPuKtf.jpg[/IMG] Soon, I'll be receiving the coin in a body bag from the NGC which has recently graded the coin as "NOT GENUINE."[/QUOTE]
