A Few Handy Definitions
(Public knowledge; feel free to copy)

BULLION- The pure form of a precious metal such as gold, silver, palladium or platinum, in the form of bars or ingots. (At least 99.5% pure)
BULLION COINS- Legal tender, not intended for general circulation; made for the purpose of investing in precious metals. (At least 99.5% pure)
CLAD- A manufacturing method; does not indicate content.
A clad coin consists of outer layers of one metal bonded to a core of a different metal.
GRAIN- 15.43 grains = 1 gram
GRAM- 31.1 grams = 1 troy ounce
MAGNET TEST- Only proves an item is NOT precious metal.
Will not prove an item IS precious metal, since most metals (aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, titanium, zinc, gold, silver) aren't magnetic.
In fact, ferromagnetism occurs in very few substances; the common ones are iron, nickel, cobalt, & certain rare earth metals such as gadolinium, neodymium and samarium.
MILLS- A term misused by unscrupulous sellers to sell plated items to the unwary- supposed to infer plating thickness.
PLATED- A very thin layer of metal deposited on the surface of another metal.
TROY- Weight system customarily used for precious metals. There are 12 troy ounces per troy pound rather than the 16 ounces per pound in the avoirdupois system.
