<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2505421, member: 24314"]Anyone here ever take a specific gravity test on one of the "shipwreck effect" 8 Reales from this treasure? The coins are suppose to be .900 fine silver. I have read that seawater can leach out copper and other trace elements in these coins. I should guess that might make the ratio of silver in the coin to other metals higher; however I don't think that would change the specific gravity of a .900 fine silver coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
