Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 1:23 pm I'd practice the SG test some more. You will note you got 10.71 for the dime, PURE silver is 10.5 coin silver should be 10.34 The fact you got a specific gravity higher than pure silver tells me you need to work on it some more. Something is throwing it off. Report this Post to the Staff
