sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 12:40 am X Ray Florescence testing will reveal what elements are in the surface layer, and will prove if the coin is genuine or not. I do not think the expense of XRF testing is justified in this case. Certainly cheaper to be left not knowing via XRF, when I think SSK's opinion is correct, anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
