<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2468755, member: 27832&quot;]Okay, just to make sure I&#039;m following along:</p><p><br /></p><p>You bought this as a 5-ounce silver coin from eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>You weighed it with a scale set for <i>standard</i> ounces, not <i>troy</i> ounces, and found that it weighed more than 5 ounces. (A legitimate 5-ounce silver puck should weight 5.48 standard ounces.)</p><p><br /></p><p>You decided, based on this mismeasurement and a vague dissatisfaction with its size, that it was a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>You reported it as a fake to eBay, and they refunded your money. Meanwhile, you dumped acid on it, drilled a hole in it, and still can&#039;t figure out what it is. You <i>didn&#039;t</i> try any non-destructive tests besides weighing it -- specifically, you didn&#039;t measure it, you didn&#039;t check its specific gravity, you didn&#039;t do any kind of magnet test.</p><p><br /></p><p>This really <b>isn&#039;t </b>making me itch to start <i>selling</i> stuff on eBay again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
