Hello, this Lenin is at the SOS and I'm being offered it for the price of gold content because the number has been scratched off. It looks like a genuine piece but would like yalls thoughts Thanks John

I thought I should post this in a separate thread instead of the original one. I recently got this Lenin Order and it is not 23KT Gold. As far as I know all of them were 23KT so either it has been altered in some way or not all were 23KT. Im thinking of returning it as I'm mixed on its authenticity. Others have stated that they believe it was good but that was before I tested the gold content and if anybody has any thoughts about this piece or why it isn't 23KT I will be very grateful Thanks for all help John

Type 5 Order of Lenin
GODISHIGH replied to GODISHIGH's topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Hello, I got this Order today and I always do a check on the gold Karat when I get a gold order. I do the acid test and when I tested it with the strongest acid I have (22KT gold) it dissolved the gold. I tested with 18KT and it doesn't dissolve the gold. This points to the gold not being between 18-22KT instead of the 23KT. I thought that all Lenin's were 23KT Gold. I had a Lenin a while ago and it tested to at least 22KT with the acid test. Am I missing something and not all Lenin's are 23KT Gold? Thanks John
