If that was so, all gold coins would be showing it rather than a few. So &quot;clumps&quot; of impurities could be produced in a few gold coins that would show the red color, with the rest of the coins from that batch evenly distributed. Gold is one of the few metals that show a distinctly different color, and that is because of certain quantum related electron levels ( one strong theory) and there is not a correct energy level difference that would produce a red color, so I go with the impurity theory. Nice to see you on again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
