<p>[QUOTE="DanielD, post: 51764, member: 510"]I can kind of understand the deeper scratches on precious metal bullion only because the Chinese are producing fake bars (part silver part lead) by the truckloads which are filtering into the West via Ebay and other venues. So a light surface scratch will say silver but it could be full of lead. I can also understand on the non-decorative bullion piece since appearance doesnt matter. Although its kind of a waste to scratch test pieces that are simply solid silver as a density test would be just as effective without any damage to the piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
