I don't care if you're convinced or not. I know from personal experience handling 24k gold coins such as Maple Leafs, 'roos, and Phillies that 24k gold coins are VERY easily marred whereas 22k gold coins such as Eagles, Pesos, Roosters, Krugs, etc. are not so easily marred.

I once dropped a 1/10 gold maple leaf and the darn thing got a gouge on the rim from this one single impact.
