I have an opportunity to buy the 5oz Murano glass 2018 Holiday splendour $50.00 silver coin and would like to validate it's authenticity. I don't have a money oozing out of my ears so I don't own a sigma machine. However I do have a pocket-pinger, a magnet, a digital micro scale and a caliper.
I am however not able to find the thickness of this coin from the RCM website.
The specifications for this coin is suppose to be 65.25 mm diameter at 5 troy oz.
I used AI to determine the thickness to be around 4.49mm however a unknown factor is the Murano glass weight. The glass could throw off the calculation because the density of glass is lighter than the density of silver.
Can anyone please Shed some light on this missing piece of the puzzle. Maybe if one of you guys own the real coin can maybe help measure the thickness and post it here.
I can't seem to find anything on PCGS or NGC or Coinsandcanada.com databases. Google nowadays is basically useless as it just shows me a crap ton of advertisements.
For those of you interested in the calculation of the thickness based on silver density / diameter and net weight see photo attached
