It says it's very .925 but credit through twice but turned green in the middle at 1 point as

Might split the bar from what impurities and other metals it's mixed

If it's 925 scratch it on a stone then put a drop of 18k acid on the marks on the stone. If they turn a cottage cheese color type of white then it's sterling. Haven't done it on 999 but I'm assuming it will turn the same cottage cheese color and look

 

How does the acid react to the metal INSIDE the hole you drilled? I'm wondering about a silver plated coppernickel alloy. It is lighter than it should be to be a pure silver piece. Too heavy to be a straight copper nickel alloy. Most of your heavier silver colored metals that you would have to add to bring up the weight cost more than coppernickel. Of course you would only have to increase the thickness very slightly (about 8%) to account for the weight.

 

Based upon what, this ridiculousness? I can't say with any level of certainty one way or the other if what this individual was doing was wrong, but can say that you've proven yourself a less than witness for the prosecution.

 

It has nothing to do with prosecution , no ones on trial ... he just got caught quickly ..

Well the coin weight 5.5 oz I imagine some mix of nickel and silver alloy to allow for some top coat of silver... I'm sending it to my friend who's got a x-ray spectrum analyser so I'll see what it has in it

Do you understand that 5.5 standard ounces is about five troy ounces, and that if you put a legitimate 5-ounce silver puck on the scale in your photo, it will show a weight (in standard ounces) of around 5.5?

 

Please let us know the results ASAP! This will be very interesting...

 

My Mexican 5 oz token read 5 exactly and is way smaller

You may have had the scale set to a different measurement. Or I could be wrong, but it looks from your photo like it's saying "oz", not "ozt". Every scale I've used lets you select oz or ozt (or grams, or grains, or carats).

As for size, I'd want to see exact measurements of both diameter and thickness.

 

Ounces,oz

This question has been asked a number of times and you have not answered it. Are you avoiding it?

 

What?? Do you bother to actually read or think about what you say/write? You did EXACTLY as I said, and in fact have positioned yourself as judge, jury, and executioner based upon highly, highly questionable "proof". If it's fake and the seller knowingly trying to defraud buyers, fine... but you're again sticking your nose into other people's business, condemning them first and before all facts are known. I this really THAT hard to understand?

 

*Note to self..
Never... never ever buy any coin from anyone in any country in ASIA!

 

Will do so now

Will do what now? Finally answer the most obvious question and one repeatedly asked of you?
