mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 510 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 09:09 am Got this San Marino replica. Can anyone tell me more about them or point out to a link online. Mostly I'm interested is it made of silver or just silver plated? Thanks #129303; Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 26148 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 3:42 pm @mvo, first step is to see if a magnet is attracted to it. If not, then I recommend doing a specific gravity test.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3536 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 11:26 pm The color is wrong and definitely resemble the massive produced super counterfeits in the market I would ask for your money back. Would not even bother about the silver aspect.

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 510 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 2:28 pm @Spence its not magnetic, weight 22.5g if I remember correctly and I got an acid test and it is at least silver plated, but in order to see if its silver all the way in I have to scratch it deep in, which I'm not so keen doing... So I thought maybe someone else had a similar fake, or they got some info on who made them or in what composition ... @gxseries Well it is a counterfeit for sure, as I said acid test positive for silver but like I said it could be just silver plated... And I bought it in a junk lot so no need in returning it back lol Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 20605 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 6:43 pm If it was centrifugally pressure die cast, the diameter may be a little less than for genuine. Need accurate weight and density measurements. As gxseries has indicated, confirm the differences in the 'B' compared with pictures of a known genuine coin. Report this Post to the Staff
