<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1399213, member: 19122&quot;]One of those gold plated &quot;tribute&quot; copy cat coins is listed as being layered in 3 mg of pure 24k gold, This means if the coin is a one ounce copper coin, and has 3 mg of gold layered on it, it is 31,103 mg, (hypothetically) 3 mg of Gold 31100 mg of copper that is would make the coin .999 copper, yet the gold would cover the entire surface of the coin, giving it a gold appearance, so red spots are not to be considered as even minimally effecting the stated purity of a gold coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collectors are not always so worried about the actual composition of a coin as they are about eye appeal, so a coin with red spots would have more collector issues than a coin without, even though both are refined to the same standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible to achieve 100% metal purity? Perhaps, but it would probably make the production costs much more.</p><p><br /></p><p>This off the top of my head, so tell me I am wrong and why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
