Hi Mike,
Sorry for the extended delay in answering you.
Skip and I did sp. g. measurements on several hundred struck counterfeits and
to my recollection none of their values deviated significantly from the value
of pure copper such that we would diagnose them as fake on that basis alone.
There are so many other diagnostic criteria for these struck coppers, sp. g.
is of tertiary importance. However, for cast copies, many - but certainly not
all of them - fell outside the bell curve. So in our/my hands, sp. g. is
just a help and not a diagnosis for the casts. So enough said. See CNL pp.
1784-85.
Best,
Phil
