<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Diversified, post: 1688578, member: 47028&quot;]Was over at a buddies house trying to educate myself on gold, coins and bullions. He just started buying silver rounds and wanted to learn a little so I brought over my small rare earth magnet to test his silver.&nbsp; I decided to try it on his gold coins to see how it would react.&nbsp; He has 1 1oz gold maple leaf and 1 1oz gold american eagle.&nbsp;&nbsp; I used the magnet the same way I use it in checking my silver bullions I have collected.&nbsp; I was surprised when the magnet reacted the same on his gold maple as it does on silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; A slow steady fall when held at an angle.&nbsp; When I tried it on the eagle, it barely slowed at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems strange.&nbsp; He said that being 24k and more pure that is why the magnet reacted more on the maple then the eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not dealing with gold I wasn&#039;t sure the reason or if it is correct.&nbsp; I also noticed that the maple was more yellow then the eagle, but that is to be expected I guess.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any thoughts??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
