Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 11:41 am Hello, I am new to bullion, owning only a few... These are my first two maple bullion coins... I have read online that these are often overweight. These weigh at 31.32 and 31.43... can someone tell me if these look right? They are the right diameter, relief looks right compared to common fakes, and I ran them through a ping test app and both passed several times... Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

This doesn't help with your silver but in my limited experience with gold, they are routinely over by a couple of hundredths of a gram. Over by a tenth of a gram is rare. Over by 2 tenths would be very unusual. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/05/2022 12:16 pm Thanks @glen... I have done some more research on these and it seems the maples are usually overweight - 31.19 is apparently the minimum weight . . . With gold I have found kruggerands to be near exact every time and british sovereigns to be - .01 at most ... but those are the circulated ones - Elizabeths tend to be exact . . . which gold of your is over?

glenmorenee Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 02:00 am All this depends a lot on how accurate and consistent your scale is. Most Krugerrands seem to be right on but I have 2 older Krugerrands, both 1976 and both are under by 2-4 hundredths. Modern Britannias seem to comfortably over, sometimes as much as a tenth.
