A spreadsheet converted to a small PDF file. Contains 12 pages of easy to read Specific Gravity readings of various coins (US and World). It begins with a nice table of evaluating Silver content readings. This "silver percentage table" was first proposed by a earlier Coin Community member known simply as "KurtS". He has not posted for years. Here is the link to the PDF file, it is free, and printable (landscape format).

Several months. Collecting the coins (several years). Once set up the actual tests are very quick. Anyone with a nice scale, distilled H2O, and an inquiring mind can do the tests. The typing of the spread sheets took several weeks.
