<p>[QUOTE="jaytant, post: 188097, member: 6902"]Platinum is one of the most difficult metals to counterfeit... it has a density of over 21 grams/cc... compared to silver which is half of that. This means a silver coin posing as a platinum would have to be twice as light or twice as thick... anyone could tell that... you would have to alloy it with something denser than platinum, and those metals are way more expensive than platinum in the first place...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
