[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 209357, member: 8219"]EXTREME suprise! wish I could see the rim up very close for grind marks.. I'll raise my expectations to what I read rather than what I THOUGHT... which is "120.3 gaines is suspect". (yours still wins there though!) The text I read also said that 125 graines was proper, plus or minus 4.63 graines (I translated the grams listed in the original text) I've got a 4.4 grain nugget of natural austraillian gold and although it's volume is smaller than what would have to be removed from a GW for it to be 'out of spec', to the eyeball it still looks like a pretty big chunk. Myself, I now wouldn't go NEAR anything below 123.. just because when the people become more aware of the fakes.. my REAL one will turn SUSPECT! DIAMETER is definetly a good doublecheck when buying. Thanks for doing that mattman! It needed to be done. If you care to, do another one and get the PRE-GRIND WEIGHT!!! (and diameter)[/QUOTE]
