<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3225568, member: 74282&quot;]You can find many threads here and other forums about people using the &quot;ring test&quot; on ancient silver coins. You don&#039;t want to do this. If the coin is heavily crystalline internally you might just break it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman silver coin purity fluctuates far more than that of modern coins and most fakes are made of the correct metal(i.e. most silver denarii are made of actual silver).&nbsp; I doubt that such a test could really provide reliable authentication information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
