<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2253505, member: 112&quot;]I would think the point would be abundantly clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier in the thread, you made the point that the percentage difference of 6.6% in specific gravity was a small, or low, difference. With the example I used, I was merely trying to illustrate that between .999 silver (100% silver for all practical purposes) and .500 silver (50% silver), the difference in specific gravity is a similarly low percentage - 6.6% versus 7.8%. </p><p><br /></p><p>So while that 6.6% may seem like a low number, when it comes to the fineness of the silver that 6/6% is a HUGE number, and not a low number at all. That is my point.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I tried to make it clear in the beginning that I have done no testing, that I have no data of my own. All I am doing is using the data and information that you yourself provided, and then illustrating what those things mean. The only conclusions I am making are based on your own data and information - nothing more.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the two choices I mentioned, we (the readers of this forum) can either accept your data from your specific gravity tests as being accurate and valid thus indicating that the mints did indeed debase their coins that much. Or, we can wonder if perhaps you are making some kind of mistake in these specific gravity tests you are doing. </p><p><br /></p><p>So we doubt the govt. mints, or we doubt your tests. That is our choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as I said in my first post in this thread -[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
