[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 4418674, member: 78719"]I may do that for kicks.

I have about 4 more IOM's with the same type of spots. None of my IOMs (and I have a number more as I like the Viking on horseback despite all the disparaging remarks about the design) have the orange spots and were gotten from diverse locations in the USA and Europe. So the Anguilla coin is of LESS gold fineness and worked out well. The Britannia of equal fineness gold also worked out fairly well. Obviously the Singapore of greater fineness did well. I'd sure like a XRF or spec. of the surfaces of the IOM coins - none around here unless I want to pay the U. of Maryland $300 per test! Free at "the Farm" but that is 3,000 miles distant. Can anyone supply the info. on that.[/QUOTE]
