[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4895933, member: 77814"]Don't quote me on it, but Precium is an alloy of Silver and Palladium ... Argentus is also an alloy of Palladium and Silver .. Balfour Polara Plus is either a palladium or Platinum and Silver alloy Aur - I think it was Ara at one time which was based on gold I remember back in High School they had weird alloys ("Lustrium" ring a bell?) as in the early/mid 1980s Gold peaked back then in the $300s. But I'm allergic to Silver alloys (my finger swells immediately) so I can only get 18k gold jewelry. I had totally forgotten about this until a friend of mine made me a ring from a Walking Liberty Half a few years ago. Within seconds of putting it on my finger my finger started swelling. Luckily I was at the sink and put dish soap on it to get it off immediately.[/QUOTE]
