[QUOTE="Ordinary Fool, post: 2785768, member: 85318"]You could clamp a coin with something resembling cable ends like found on jumper cables and preferably machined to fit the reeds/radius. One jaw would be + and the other -. Comparing resistances of silver, brass, steel, powder metals, copper, etc is going to show up pretty much continuous using a DVOM or analog meter. Measuring Seimens with a conductivity meter, unless I am thinking about this upside down, would require enough current flow to most likely heat the coin sufficiently enough to color it. I'm thinking to measure the conductivity, you're not going to do it with uA or mA. Sound right? If not, and you have a conductivity meter, ain't nothing but a thing to get a damage free connection to flow a few mA.[/QUOTE]
