<p>[QUOTE="Infamousfrog, post: 1908493, member: 67561"]I need your help. I bought some Australian Kookaburras, rounds, bars, and one 2003 Chinese Panda today from a small time dealer. I did the magnet test infront of the person selling them. I slide the magnet down the coins at a 45 degree angle and they slowly went down and I also did the ping test and they all sounded the same (I brought a Maple to hear the sounds). When I got home I did the ice test and they melted good. The only thing I didn't do was the acid test because all the Kookaburras are 1992 and the one panda is a 2003. I don't want to mess them up. The only thing that is getting me is the weight of them. My newer rounds, ASE, Maples etc... all weigh 31.1 grams and the Kookaburras weigh 31.6 grams. And the panda is coming in at 31.4g which is scaring me. Everything I read says the panda weighs exactly 1 troy oz. When I do research on fake 2003 pandas I can see pictures of the real and fake ones. My looks real but it's the weight that's getting me. If anyone can help me determine if my is real I would be greatly appreciated.</p><p> </p><p>Sorry for the bad pictures. My phone doesn't take the best pictures.[ATTACH=full]326931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326934[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
