And they would min the ocins by the tens of thousands per run per mill. </p><p>So do the math there is porbably more fakes out there then authentic. Plus many of the fakes were spot on details wise. Most of the fakes we see today are chinese fakes. unfortunately what we accept to be auhtentic st.gaudens, some have originated from a press in a slum from the middle east. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And yes theyre they were pretty damn accurate, I have bucket loads of them. Every time I go back there, or a relative comes here, they ahve to bring a couple hundred with them. or give me a couple cases to bring back.&nbsp; Thats how many they have backed up. lol</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If the gold was refined to 24k gold it would come out to be a little over 30 grams. so yes your correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
