<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3142581, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s just it, gold isn&#039;t soft, it&#039;s actually quite hard and wears very well as those pics attest. But I do understand your comment because a lot of folks, maybe even most of them, think it is soft. It&#039;s only soft as compared to some other metals. But lemme give you an example of what I mean. </p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;ve all seen in the movies where people would bite a gold coin to make sure it&#039;s real - right ? Well, do you know what they are trying to find out when they bite the coin ? A lot of folks assume they are biting it to make sure it is soft - because they &quot;think&quot; gold is soft. But that isn&#039;t why they used to bite the coins - they would bite them to make sure they were <b><u>hard</u></b> ! If they bit the coin and found it soft, THEN they would know it was a fake. If it was hard, all was good ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
