<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5010350, member: 97383"]P.O. Man, I had purchased a testing kit that consisted of a special fine-grained carborundrum stone, 4 X 2.5 X .375 in., & different dilutions of nitric acid. It was necessary to scrape the edge of the coin on the stone & apply a dilution of nitric acid that didn't change the color of the streak on the stone. The amount of gold lost was infinitesimal, & the coin appeared to be clipped anyway. The coin cost me $100.00 & ended up selling for well over $400.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
