I would like to ring up this coin on it. Shows up as 9.06 on Sigma Metalytics (Measurement Mode) and 9.15 when flipped obverse facing down. Weight 33.42 grams. Not magnetic.

Yes I see the double rim on the coin and know it's fake. Just curious what the surface metal content actually is.

Thanks.

    Before anyone asks, I have not conducted an Ultrasonic thickness test yet, but will do so shortly.

    I am not in the DFW area but I can confirm the Sigma is easily fooled.

    The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
