<p>[QUOTE="OldSilver, post: 1192897, member: 30146"]Hey guys. Today i met up with my best friend and he gave me a supposedly "international universal trade unit" one troy ounce silver coin. Its still very lustrous and detailed and it looks awesome. It has a scale on the obverse and the two world hemispheres on the REverse. I held it on the tip of my finger and tapped it with another coins (known as the tone test) and it does not sound like silber at all. Silver coins, especially large ones like this one and morgan dollars, have a very prominent, long ring but this coin had a short clink that had no ring at all. I did the magnet test and the coin was okkay in that sense because it did not stick. Is the fact that it failed the tone test mean one hundred percent that it is NOT silver or should i continue and buy a silver testing kit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
