<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cvicisso, post: 1319444, member: 29382&quot;]It looks like the counterfeiters are getting closer, but &#039;German Silver&#039; still weighs considerably less than silver.&nbsp; You can&#039;t mix three different substances - all lighter than silver - and expect to get the weight right.&nbsp; If you read down further in the linked thread, the &#039;German silver&#039; bars are slightly thicker (to make up for the lower specific gravity).&nbsp; I would think that adding lead would help - since it&#039;s heavier and cheaper than silver.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic of what I&#039;m talking about.&nbsp; The coin on the left is made from something like &#039;German Silver&#039; (read: a material lighter than silver).&nbsp; The coin on the right is real.&nbsp; Notice anything?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]149582.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
