Re: 2026 ASE proof tests as 96% silver...Why?
i did change the setting with the same results. under that setting i placed a different ASE(see the 2 results below). but thank you for the suggestion. the failed one is the coin in question,the other is the 2026 P ASE. thanks but i cannot see why i would get 2 different readings on 2 separate ASE if it was a calibration… -

yes...when you test you pick the metal and purity (gold ,silver,etc / .999 , .999 , 92.5...etc) then you pick the coin weight( 1oz, 1/2 oz...etc) then it calculates . this tester tests through the metal and tells you dimensions it should be so you know your getting what you purchased. this should pass at .999 but it is… -

2026 ASE proof tests as 96% silver...Why?
i have the SIGMA METALYTICS PMV PRO ,and was checking a few things. i threw my 2026 ASE proof W mint (1776-2026) that i received from the mint and to my surprise it tested good for 96% Britannia silver but not for 999.i tested a few other years of the proof ASE and they tested fine for 999. has anyone else run into this or… -

same result, but worth a shot. while i had it out of the capsule i weighed it at 31.46g . i looked into the British Silver Britannia planchet that pre 2013 used 95.8% silver but was 32.45g for the 1oz silver. i was starting to think british silver but a whole gram shy is a little much.plus since 2013 they use .999 silver. -

that is the same coin tested as 999 silver in the failed pic and tested in 96% in the passing pic.for comparison this is how the 2024 ASE proof tested. -
Re: 2026 ASE proof tests as 96% silver...Why?
i am in SE FL. i would have no problem getting a second opinion. i did some looking into cadmium and find it hard to believe that it made it into the coin. -
Re: 2026 ASE proof tests as 96% silver...Why?
Interesting. I’m curious now, you don’t happen to be in southeast FL do you? I have an XRF but I don’t know what type of accuracy/reliability the pawn shop test has, and cadmium is a very strange result for sure. Something worth double. Checking, imo. -

Yikes, this is troubling. Perhaps you should contact somebody at the Mint, a supervisor above basic customer service. Or even contact the US Mint specialized youtube personality, Son of a Silver Stacker. He would be interested and also has US Mint connections. This thread can be shared with the youtube guy and Mint. Please… -
