<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 505765, member: 4373&quot;]Unfortunately, platinum coins ARE heavy. In your case, it&#039;s no where close to the specified 20.71gram of platinum. There is no reason why pattern platinum coin must be made in 1841 as the first 6 ruble coin was struck in 1829. It just makes no sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>Try and check if your scale is really working or not. You can test it by weighing some circulated coins and compare it against the specification to see if your scale does work. </p><p><br /></p><p>To answer spiffy&#039;s question, yes, platinum used to be cheaper than gold and hence used as a base for gold plating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
