<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1317245, member: 29012"]Molybdenum is the equivalent faux silver as tungsten is for gold. The other thing that can be done which I learned in a thread around here somewhere is that a lead/copper mix can be used to emulate the density of silver, though I'm not sure how this impacts the dimensions of the coin. In any case, 1 oz numismatic bullion is probably the least likely to be counterfeited, at least as compared to bars or junk silver which is widely recognized. I would think ASE's and Maple Leaves are probably more likely to be counterfeited than any of the Perth Mint series since those change all the time, and any counterfeiting effort would be more effective with something that has a wider market base.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
