<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2252942, member: 112"]Given what some of your test results are showing, for example #13 in your silver tests having 46% less silver than it should have based on your test; if the coin is supposed to be .925 silver and your test shows it's only .500 silver - that's 46% debased. And others being anywhere from 10%-40% less silver than they should be, I'm thinking an actual assay of the coins may be in order to confirm the accuracy of your testing procedure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean I could see a coin here and there being debased, somewhat. But your results - 11 out of 13 coins are debased by large percentages - I'm finding them very surprising to say the least.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given what you've reported, there's 2 possibilities as I see it. The various governments actually did debase the coins that much, or there is something wrong with your tests. And I have no idea which it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
