<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 1042644, member: 5787&quot;]The weight test is pretty good if you don&#039;t want to remove the proof sets from the box.&nbsp; Although I have lots of proof sets, the cardboard box still requires me a lot of care to open without causing a crease in the cardboard.&nbsp; Thus, I like the weight test if you&#039;re going to check the authenticity of the set without having to remove it from the box.&nbsp; Plus, I don&#039;t usually bring tissues with me to an auction or coin show but do carry around a portable pocket scale.&nbsp; I must say though, the tissue test is an interesting thing to add to my arsenal for checking for fakes.&nbsp; Like someone else already mentioned, I usually just look at the edges and can tell whether they&#039;re silver or clad without the need for weighing the set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
