<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1331960, member: 15019&quot;]Excellent advice. Basic tests for all Chinese silver commems should include a specific gravity or electromagnetic test (I prefer the latter). The counterfeiters have become very good at mimicking the density of silver with alloys. The first time I saw a fake silver 10 yuan Panda that had exactly correct size, weight and appearance I was shocked! SG test on this coin was pretty close, within 2/10ths. It&#039;s a red flag, but as with weight some people figure it&#039;s &quot;close enough&quot;. It completely failed the electromagnetic test though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
