[QUOTE="steve60, post: 4753326, member: 114184"]I am still examining the 1 oz silver rounds I recently purchased from a local dealer (buffalo silver rounds from Golden State Mint). I mentioned in a previous post that all the rounds checked out on the magnetic slide and the ping test using an app except two. These two give me a dull thud when pinged although they too passed the test on the magnetic slide and their weight and specific gravity seem correct. Then I noticed a seam on the edge of both rounds. Could this be just a defect in the striking process or is this the sign of a cast round that may indicate a fake? I am still waiting for an acid test to arrive as suggested for an additional test. Thanks for the excellent feedback you all provide. [ATTACH=full]1160332[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
