[QUOTE="KurtS, post: 2252461, member: 11786"]Tarnish wouldn't affect it by much if any fraction of a %, but I strove for standard results. :) All told, the discrepancies for silver coins were unexpected. A friend also tested a bunch of control sample bronze/Al/CuNi coins, getting expected results. Then he tested an 2914 ASE, and got a reading suggesting close to .999 purity. Perhaps he will test more silver coins and share his results here? :) For my results above, I should note the vertical scales on the graphs for the control group and the silver group are different. Below is the silver group adjusted to the same vertical scale as the control. It's pretty clear there's something going on when silver coins are involved.
