<p>[QUOTE=&quot;teh_admiral, post: 3259464, member: 99788&quot;][USER=77976]@Nathan401[/USER] Good night to your ignorant self: your OPINIONS are flawed. Acid-testing is among the most accurate scientific tests, and just because APMEX is APMEX doesn&#039;t mean they won&#039;t get had by pro fakers. &quot;Expert&quot; opinions are only that: OPINIONS. Anyone hating on scratch-testing, you included, are being told what YOU don&#039;t want to hear: you have NO IDEA what your coins actually are, and you&#039;re going on WORD and SIGHT alone to determine quality. Which is the mark of a fool. Which is how bad houses and lemon cars get sold and why I linked a page where REAL numismatists are upset at the fakes. From 2017, so recently. Just because you&#039;re a noob who doesn&#039;t like the accurate analogy of circulated coins to used cars doesn&#039;t make it any less valid. And just because you have NO IDEA except based on the word of others doesn&#039;t mean your coins are ACTUALLY what they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you had any real KNOWLEDGE (i.e. the British minting process versus the Spanish), then you might be respectable. But as it is your word means NOTHING as the jewelers who tested my gold are master professionals who sell to the Vikings and other A-list clientele. Jealous much? I&#039;m still waiting on ACTUAL numismatists who have studied HISTORY and SCIENCE to provide ACTUAL reasons why my sovereign is +18k and not 22k. And no I don&#039;t want &quot;expert&quot; OPINIONS; I want actual NUMISMATIST FACTS i.e. the quality control for sovereign-minting, known variability, etc. Just because you have some coins and don&#039;t know whether or not they&#039;re real does NOT make you an &quot;expert&quot;. And if you were so &quot;expert&quot; you would know how to test metals and minerals without &quot;damaging&quot; them. But since it&#039;s already left the mint (i.e. a car driven off the lot) it&#039;s already BY DEFINITION &quot;damaged.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Any other idiots want me to repeat myself for the 5th time? Or are there any other ACTUAL recommendations? I have to find someone to do the specific gravity test yet.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
