Gold Coin Counterfeit Detectors

Goldcoinbalance is no longer guaranteed against American Eagles or Krugerrands and since platinum no longer costs more than gold, it might not work against any gold coin.

From goldcoinbalance.com: "Other cheap metals such as zinc, copper or steel are even lighter than lead. There are only two metals that come close to gold in weight. Platinum, which costs more than gold, and Tungsten, which is so brittle it can't be stamped into a coin."

Very interesting. I doubt that thieves are going to stock up on platinum to rip people off, but who knows what they're going to come up with next.
