[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3525516, member: 81093"][USER=95174]@BenSi[/USER] for interest, the specific gravity suggests John III as well. Noting that specific gravity has a decent margin of error for determining gold content, a specific gravity of 14.89 would put it at somewhere around 16.5 to 17 carats, which is consistent with John III gold content, and too low (even with a margin of error) for John II, which should be at around 20.5 carats with a specific gravity of almost 17.[/QUOTE]
