This from a reader who wishes to remain anonymous:
While it won’t detect tungsten counterfeits, the Fisch system (http://www.fisch.co.za/home.htm) to detect bogus gold and silver coins is well worth considering. I’ve used the Fisch system for over 25-years now and I can attest to the impeccable reliability these instruments offer. I’ve had only two occasions where Mexican 50-peso gold pieces were detected, failing the “weight” check when subjected to the Fisch system. The coins were drilled and filled with lead. The edges of the coins were re-plated with gold and almost non-detectable to the untrained eye. These Fisch instruments have saved me much angst and aggravation over the many, many years I’ve used them.
