You destroyed a perfectly good coin. What were you expecting inside? Chocolate? Hope you learned your lesson.
Fuck Islam
Some gold coins are 22ct 916.7 instead of 24ct 999 to make them more resistant to damage. They still contain 1oz of gold because they are larger and heavier. Don’t think a coin is a fake if it weighs 34.05g instead of 31.10g. ;D
LOL good job cutting your coin up !!!!!
This is totally a legit coin…I can not believe you cut a real coin in half!
How much did just the string weigh?
This is not a fake coin.
ultrasonic thickness gauge test?
That´s really puzzling. In your other video, its thickness was 1.6mm instead of 2mm; therefore, how come it weight 31.1g when it has a smaller volume? I mean, it should be made of something denser than gold; if the authentic is 2mm and this one 1.6mm?
Then this test also confirms that is gold, and even if that density test was accurate: how come that metal of a slightly lower density could weigh 31.1g with less thickness than .999 gold?
The answer is easy. Stick it next to a GENUINE Philarmonic and show us the comparison.

I disagree that this is a fake:
1. There has never been a reported a reported fake Philharmonic that was not obviously a fake by dimension and weight tests.
2. There has never been a fake modern gold coin where 90% gold was substituted for .999 gold.
3. A fake with 90% gold is laughably economic. A criminal enterprise needs more than a 10% profit.
4. The most likely explanation is that a 10% error was caused by the string, and scale inaccuracies.
I agree with tubefish666. A very thin wire or thread should have been used to suspend the piece. An analytical scale capable of measuring up to 3 or 4 decimal places would be more accurate. Before cutting apart the coin, a measurement of the diameter, thickness and mass of the coin should have been done. Then the entire coin should have been weighed for its water displacement. The larger the piece and the thinner the wire would have given a more accurate specific gravity calculation.
That thick string you took for hanging that piece of gold into the water is distorting your measurements. Correcting your measurement by the error which was introduced by that string you might find out, that your piece of gold has a density of 19,3 gr/cm3.
Your balance doesn’t look as if its good enough for such a delicate test. Better using a balance which can resolve 1/100 gr (better: 1/1000 gr)
Dealing with gold & silver for more than 20 years I know what I’m talking about…
criminals assume that more material wealth will benefit them but there is no way to know that for sure. it very well may cause their demise.
thanks
Criminals suck. =’[.]‘=
tkx……
I read a thread on one of the gold forums a few months back about a coin just like this. A counterfeit philharmonic made of 90% gold. I think a coin shop had bought them and the police turned up at some point…. I’ll try to find it and give you the link.
