    its supposed to weigh heavier because its 22k gold, it has exactly .5toz of pure gold and added silver and copper for durability, its actually the best way to have coins that ain't so soft that the smallest bump will leave a nasty mark on it

    Since tungsten has almost the same density as gold at 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, then the pinging sound tester can reveal if there may be a hidden tungsten core inside a gold coin @ th-cam.com/users/shorts451B8uVFJ3g

    Your scale. Get a calibration weight (probably 50 gram for your scale) and look in the manual how to calibrate it (or find a video on youtube). Even the cheaper chinese ones are actually quite good and good enough for that scale.
    Caliper: You might very well get a slightly thicker reading on the center of the coin. To protect the coin use tape on the jaws. Zero it after applying tape.
    Since you've got it for that long there's no doubt it's real. Only recently there has been tungsten filled coins. While they fit size and weight they do fail the ping test. You can even find apps that'll analyse the frequency to tell you not only does it ping but frequency also is within expected range. On top of that I do believe that tungsten is slightly magnetic (use small powerful neodymium).
    The spot: You can get various coins "dips" if you want to remove the spot.
    I believe the silver content makes it a little more prone to spot corosion than it's original big brother - the Krugerrand. Also the in the datasheet for Krugerrand sizes are given as maximum - they're typically slightly less and weight is minimum and typically some 1/100 gram heavier. In fact all bullion gold coins are a little heavier than their specified weight - 1. because even at 9999 fines there's still a teeny tiny amount of something else - mostly copper and silver - 2. because you're guaranteed to get the specified amount and since there's always manufacturing tolerances they must take that into account. Mostly you're lucky and get slightly more than you pay for - if unlucky you get exactly what you pay for.

    Those thickness edge tests (not diameter) on precious metal bullion coins with a micrometers is just a "guide". If you have any finning or hard or softer strikes of the planchet blank back when they struck the coin, especially on softer coins like Gold Buffalos, you can have thickness variations (along reeded edge) being off as much as 1.2 to 1.3 mm. I've seen it on authentic Buffalos several times. Just an FYI.

  • @voltsoftruthBSbuster
    @voltsoftruthBSbuster 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just by looking at it, I would say I'm 99% certain its real, and the weight of the coin can be over the specification it typically is cause they would rather give you a bit more than short you, it just can't be under. But you can always do a specific gravity test. Its very simple, all you need is a small plastic cup filled with water and a scale, and a string to tie to your coin. You can look up the test, and it will give you a detailed explanation on how to perform the test. But in short you will weight the coin on its own, then weight the coin in the cup of water, but it has to be in the water but can't be dropped or touch the bottom, hence the string to hold the coin steady in the center off the cup. Then you will devide the weight of your coin by the weight it registered in the water. The number you get write it down, then look it up and it will tell you what material you have and the purity of your gold. I think pure 24k gold is 19.32 but the coin you have is 22k so the number should be slightly different. Hope this helps.

      The American Eagle gold coin spec says 22K, meaning 22/24 or 11/12 fineness (0.916666...). The rest, 1/12 (0.083333...), is silver (0.03) and copper (0.053333...).
      Since the alloy in the coin is 11/12 gold, the US Mint uses planchets that each weighs 12/11 troy ounce (1.0909 ozt, 33.9310656 g) to ensure there's at least 1 ozt of gold in it. Smaller AE Au coins scale down accordingly (1/2, 1/4, 1/10).
      Similarly, AE platinum coins are 0.9995 fine, so the Mint takes the reciprocal to ensure it has 1 ozt of Pt: 1/0.9995 ozt is about 1.0005 ozt or 31.1190 g. Again, smaller Pt denominations are scaled down accordingly.
      The AE palladium is adjusted in the same manner.

    Hi there. Can't confirm is this a real coin or not since I am not an expert and I never had 1oz American Eagle (I have 1/10oz American Eagle only). But I can tell something about those red spots. I have Archangel Michael series gold coins (1/10oz, Ukraine) and all of them have red spots more or less. As far as I know when the stamp hits a billet during production process stamp may leave its microparts in the upper layers of the actual billet (future coin). Those microparts may start oxidize later on causing red spots which is rust basically. As long as you have real 31.1 grams of gold in that coin you should not worry about it since gold cannot oxidize itself. But if you would like to get rid of that spot you may try Leuchtturm cleaning agent for gold coins (they have same agents for silver, copper and others). I had some experience with cleaning a couple of silver coins and it worked fine, so I will try to do the same for my gold coins in future.
    P. S. Awesome coin though, I wish I could have one of these (1oz) in future.

    Ping test?

    • @LuckyVagabond
      @LuckyVagabond  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. Not sure the best way to perform a ping test and whether I know enough to know if it passes the ping test. What's your advice? Thanks.

      Plenty of examples here on TH-cam, but just curl your index finger like you are grabbing a handle and rest the middle of the coin in question on the center buckle portion. Then use a different coin to tap the edge gently so that it makes a tone. Compare that tone to other gold coin that you know are real.

      @@LuckyVagabond on your cell phone get an app called, "Bullion Test." You will have to pay about $3 for the upgrade to test American Gold Eagles and others. The ping of the metal will be verified through the app, I have tested it on the American Gold Eagle, American Silver Eagle, and it worked. Even worked against other silver coins of the same dimension as the American Silver Eagle. Thank you.
