[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7748543, member: 115909"]Ah ok that’s my bad. I thought they were the same thing but that one was just less advanced due to being 5th century BC compared to the 19th century. So then what is the purpose of a test cut? How does it validate a coin’s purity? Like what exactly were the people looking for when they made a test cut? Is it that silver is softer and counterfeits made of harder metals that can’t be cut so easily?[/QUOTE]
