<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 3910367, member: 102103&quot;]Well, the good news is that anything denser than gold is probably going to be hard to come by, so most counterfeits would be distinguishable by weight.&nbsp; I don&#039;t imagine counterfeiting would be likely for either, so it&#039;s probably a matter of personal preference.&nbsp; I guess the buffalo would have fewer materials which would be close enough in weight to try to pass for it as it is a purer alloy.&nbsp; Even tungsten would be a little too light at 19.25 g/cc compared to 19.28 g/cc for gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think rhenium is the only metal which is denser than gold which is not either radioactive or more expensive than gold itself.&nbsp; (Well, sometimes platinum is cheaper than gold--I believe some historical counterfeits were made of platinum with an outer coating of gold.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
