silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 10:08 pm YES, they do the goldsmith traditional test. This it is performed on Mississippi stone (black) and compare with specific testing silver. They will do same lines on stone then they will apply specific acid for silver testing. This test it is the most accurate test. The cyanide acid is special for silver alloys and tell exact the purity. XRF it is accurate if the XRF it is calibrate properly for the metals, if not will be Holocausts. XRF's are good with adequate software and calibrations (each year or every 500 tests) Technology. I will submit to PCGS this coin. For me the test it is enough. At 56% Ag the goldsmith will tell you that he see silver here and if you want to melt will be at 500 Ag. This it is the rules. Ex: You has 900Ag, they take at 850 Ag. Edited by silviosi 08/12/2023 01:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Cereal_Killer New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 2:58 pm Im going to assume there were silver flakes on it already but it is odd that it showed up twice. I didnt know that was the method they used until they began the second time. Considering the gun already gave the answer I didnt care....Is the gun ever wrong? Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 6:06 pm The guns as you say yes could be wrong if they do not have proper software and setup. The technology it is very accurate but you the user must know where will go for. Ex: If you has an XRF programed for metallic rocks, the coins will be out of the accuracy.
