Hi,

thank you. 

I did win it. I couldn’t resist, I bought some silver from the mint and love it but the import costs make it impossible.

I have been learning how to test from the good people on this website. I have some scales, callipers and a rare earth magnet.

I will get it out of the plastic and put it through my novice testing.

Where did you see £200 postage? I just had a little panic and rechecked the listing and my paypal payment.

If I click on the link and then onto the product it says £175 + £200 shipping

That is because you are in Hungary and not the UK.  It's showing "Free economy delivery" to those of us in the UK. 

[SilverPirate007]

That’s weird! Why so expensive abroad?

[Stacker2020]

😀 ok, mystery solved!

So I got this through, it passes the magnet test, the weight is 322 which is a little heavy but what concerns me a little is the lettering behind the chin. What do you guys think?

[Stacker2020]

Whats up with the bottom corners on the lion side? Have they been rubbed down for testing or is that the casting?

[SilverPirate007]

I think it might just be the angle, I cut this out of the supposed ‘mint’ packaging.

The corners aren't really Scott dales strongest point just look at the 5oz prey bars two options 1 specific gravity test or look up its dimensions

Put a cube of ice on it..if it starts to melt straight away and quickly, it’s silver!

Gravity test, the way to go
