snowman24 Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 09:25 am the best way to find out if its plated is too weight it with a good scale in grams with your pictures ..It might be coated with mercury... it was the thing to do back in the 60s and 70's our whole science class in HS played with mercury back in the 70's now its poison #1.. today you couldn't even bring the stuff into the school hence play with it Report this Post to the Staff
