Good evening: Just to continue the rant, you can buy gold coated Tungsten bars in China. They are sold as "Executive Novely" items or "Executive" paper weights. I had one company email me with photos and a price list.
Here is the story if you are interested. By the way, Tungsten has almost exactly the same density as Gold, 19.3 gm /cc. http://www.businessinsider.com/tungsten-filled-gold-bars-found-in-new-york-2012-9 Murray On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 3:20 PM, Adam Hupe <[email protected]> wrote: > Unfortunately you are correct, we are to blame.
