I think you are correct on the 14k. Math was good. A lot of gold buying shops will try to devalue a fake coin or a nice coin that is damaged. I am guessing that the shop that said it was copper would gladly give you 8 or 10 times the copper price for it. I am guessing they might be dishonest.
I recall the joke about the Norwegian who made fake 100 kronor notes by crossing out the last 0 of a 1000 kronor banknote.,..looking to spring when you shall be digging for Viking treasures :)
hahahaa...dude you areWAYYY to smart. That calculation process was a headache just listening to you describe it. Easy to see how your calculations make sense at the end of it tho well done for ascertaining what it truely is. Enjoy your beer mate you deserved it after that one HH
@Cruzinon22s depends on the carat.... if its 14 carat, its aprox 20USD per grams, its around 8 grams, so in golde weight it would be 160USD, but we have not determined the carat 100% sure yet....
@DiggingNorway Since you agree, that it is fake and hence only worth its weight in precious metal, why not avoid all the calculation trouble and simply cut it open? Then you see what's inside. Or melt it right down and test it.
@equitably That is what I ended up doing... it was gold all the way, but probaby not 24 carat... I sold it for scrap as 14K. pleasze notice this video is quite old...
They plated that coinfor a reason.. because what ever's underneath must obviously look fake... its probably a lead and gold coin plated with 24 carat gold, try bending it... if it bends easily then chances are its lead and gold alloy. if it doesnt then it might be copper afterall..but Why plate it?
@OtagoMark I think you are wrong. 1) lead would be too heavy a mass, the weight difference would be BIG, 2) They plated it because the original was 22 carat, they knew they only had 14 carat inside, so if anyone would test the outside of the coin, they would have "pure gold" as a result.... it does not bend... :) BUT: 100% certainty can only be achived through cutting the coin in two..haha
@DiggingNorway also the 24 carat plating, could have been an attemtp to increase the weight... they knew that they had to achieve a weight as close to 7,98 as possiible.... they got 7,90-7,95... in the 70s digital weights were maybe not thta common...
@DiggingNorway platting to increase weight? if its a forgery plating qith 24 carat gold to make up the weight would defeat the purpose of counter feiting... unless they used a metal HEAVIER than gold inside...your coin is only slightly under weight if it was 14 carat it would be much much lighter not just .07 grams
@OtagoMark no it wouldent.... the volume of the coins is .058 ccm x the ccmweight of 14 carat (ranges from 13,5-14,1) so lets say 13,8, that would make the coin weigh 8,0 grams..... correct me if I am wrong... but i belive that is correct?:)
@DiggingNorway I mean calculatying the volume of the coin by measuring its diameter and thickness is inaccurate becasue the coin is embossed.. If the coin was 14 carat insdie it would be much much lighter wouldn't it? you'd be replacing half the very heavy gold with the much lighter copper... but yours is only slightly lighter...its probably got as much gold in it as that other coin in your vid.. puzzling why they plated it though. Hope I find a gold coin one day..
@OtagoMark Where was this coin found ? If found in the Middle East it coukl be some sort of fake-otherwise iit could possibly be a restrike with original dies,or a prooflike edition,or a first strike of the real coin.Going by the video-the coin does seem to have a mirror fields reflection which could make it fall into the category of either a general issue first strike,or a prooflike edition. I would check some numismatic /coin collecting reference books.
@DiggingNorway Actually lead is far lighter than gold but far heavier than copper, if i was going to steal some gold out of a coin and plate it I'd use lead. You assume its 22 carat gold inside .. even if it was pure lead inside it would still be too light way to light...
@DiggingNorway Also your calculation of the volume is flawed...
you should work backward from the weight which you know and work out how much gold could be replaced with copper to reduce its weight to the weight it is..and I would guess , given the coin is light by .07 grams I'd say .15 grams of gold has been replaced with copper.. making the coin 21.5 carat... in other words calm down ya coins still worth plenty hehe...
@OtagoMark I did this in a hurry, I might have mixed up something, but may theory was that it was 14 carat, plated with 24 carat. They did not see any lead inside the coin when they made a cut in it... who knows? :)
Happy birthday to a great beer Aass! I will be sure to drink 2 or 3 beers this afternoon in honor of this special occasion. Thanks for another highly entertaining and interesting video DiggingNorway!
:) on the usmintdotgov website is this warning to collectors;;;US coins from before 1950 are being made in China :) btw, when I was in Turkey, I got a half sovereign and a French 20 francs gold coins...I don't have them now...it seems the fakes are being sold at ebay and likely by shady characters so be careful, enjoy your beer, and return to hunting....it should be nice in Czech...:)
u poured the beer like a queer, suck up that foam bitch.
