publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 4:59 pm I think this is a dealer's promo item of some kind, intended to be displayed so that the back would never be visible, & that the inserted medallions are "size colour & design" models rather than actual gold.

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 5:27 pm Actually, there's no need to remove them. Measure length, depth, & height, & calculate the volume of the block from this. Then, using the specific gravity of gold, calculate the volume of the five-piece Maple Leaf set. Subtract that from the block volume. Then calculate the mass of the net volume of solid acrylic casting resin. Subtract that from the actual measured mass. This will leave you with the actual mass of the medallions. Subject to experimental error, if that mass is within 20% of the total supposed mass of the gold coins, then that's what's in there. I can pretty much guarantee you it will not be gold. No way RCM is going to tie up tens of thousands of dollars worth of gold making promos to ship to dealers ; no way an individual dealer is going to tie up hundreds of dollars worth to make a display item.

Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 9:51 pm Gold is way too expensive to be made into models of fake coins, so I'd say it's not gold. Report this Post to the Staff
