DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 8:04 pm Have you weighed it then? If it was gold it should be weighing more than a soveriegn (8 grams) but I would wager it is not gold... either it is gold plated or bronze plated I think (I have a thru'penny bit which is like that) How have you ascertained that it is not gold plated? Pressumably you didnt file a chunk out of it and use acid on it... Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 9:33 pm I typed bronze when I meant brass (doh!) I wish the OP luck... I said I would wager against it being gold because I know how easy it is to plate and because he said it isn't heavy (gold is heavy!) but I would still like to see a nice result...
