<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1971268, member: 57463"]It does indeed seem to be true. In fact, I have used the "ring test" myself and I am not alone in that. The Chinese "shroffs" could do a coin a second by balancing and ringing with their fingers on one hand. I have had to be laborious in balancing the coin on my finger and tapping the coin with a pencil. But it works. You can easily tell a struck coin from a cast. I believe that with training - they had "shroff schools" for apprentices - you could learn to hear more detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
