<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cvicisso, post: 1319176, member: 29382&quot;]No one would say that it&#039;s silver just because it weighs correctly.&nbsp; But if it has the correct weight AND diameter and thickness - then it has to be silver.&nbsp; It&#039;s called &#039;specific gravity.&#039;&nbsp; Every substance has a specific gravity (mass per unit volume).&nbsp; As an aside, the reason GOLD coins are so hard to fake is because gold is so freakishly heavy.&nbsp; The only thing close is tungsten - but it&#039;s too hard and has the wrong color.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not saying it couldn&#039;t happen, but I would be interested to see a fake silver coin (ASE for example) using an alloy that exactly matches the specific gravity of silver.&nbsp; Meaning - it has the EXACT same dimensions.&nbsp; Can someone post a link to one?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
