Hi Everyone,  Hello
     Can anyone on this forum tell if this is a real Platinum, i have sources in philippines want to sell this for 2.5M Pesos  Cry but i need someone advise before i go and paid it. They said it's not 100% pure it just about 65-70% and hallmarked of 750 on it.  :Smiley

They try to put it on fire and never melt after they get it, it cool down in a minute. (just after the red color)
Try to put magnet its not magnetic, but you can feel a very slightly force of magnet.
It also stick on ice if you put in about 5sec.
Total weight of 5.7kg
WxHxL = 3.80 x 3.50 x 22.90cm

Any suggest/comment would be appreciated..!!!  Kiss
Anyone interested PM me.  Great

Wrong color. Platinum does not tarnish.

Looks like old Wedging or Clamping Tool peaces I've seen before.

You can see it's been Beaten and worked before.

Maybe some type of German Silver.    Some will have a Slight Draw to a Magnet.

I have a platinum ring that has never tarnished, but then again it's of PT950 purity, not 60-75% purity. The shape of that piece of metal reminds me of the anvils used by impromptu roadside tyre and tricycle (a motorcycle with roofed open-door sidecar used as public transport) rim repairers in Zamboanga.

Man, that whole damn island must be made of platinum and gold. Every thing they dig is worth a million $$
Looks like either a bucket tooth from heavy equipment or an anvil hardy.
There was a whole anvil posted a while back from the Philippines they said was platinum.

It's just discolour as they put it in burning charcoal and they try to melt it using wood fire for 5hrs, but it's not melting.  They got it with loads of antique chinese plates, kettle, wine bottle, and 18 century coins, (see pics attached)...  Pray  The only thing i wondering is why they cannot get even just a small pieces of metal for chemical test to make it sure if it's platinum.  Idiot  The item location is in philippines somewhere in palawan province. Love this forum  Kiss
Can anyone suggest/comment how to do a quick test for platinum if it's fake or real..!!  Angry

If it was platinum, why would you try to use a fire that woudn't even melt gold? You're really reaching.

It's not platinum. Platinum would not tarnish. It's probably an industrial, stainless steel tool. You said you were interested in buying it. Well, I would not. If you are trying to sell this, stop right now and leave this place.

Those are not coins, at least not the bottom one cant see top one ,and nothing there is 18th century. More like 20th century.
