Just a WAG (wild ass guess)

Spin them at the same speed and see which one spins longest.  One is
bound to have more mass around the outside and therefore spin
longer/faster  (the ice skater phenomenon...arms out slow spin arms in
fast spin.  same weight etc.)

I'd say gold would spin longer.

Or am I way off base?
