Excellent video...esp the close-up of the letters of the two coins.

The fist thing I noticed was the Sunrays being thicker on the fake coin too.

Well the price of it should be in the first giveaway. .

The real one will have a nice "3D look" (if that makes sense) while fakes will look "flat", again if that makes sense.

You did a disservice to your viewers by not indicating the the vitals of both coins: circumference, diameter, thickness, and weight. You could also have done a sound test by striking both coins. Nevertheless, we thank you for alerting us to the differences in the fonts.

Probably can still sell it at $10 as copper coin coated with silver.

I discovered another problem, as a newcomer to silver coins...I tried to use math to calculate the pure silver weight (pure silver is 10,4 gr/cm3) but I never came close, always getting 7,4-8,4 on these coins, except on the Canadian Maple Leaf, I got 10,1 gr/cm3 which indicates i high quality indeed. I never got that number on other high quality coins. (Math: weight divided with volume...one should get the pure silver weight minus the small amount of copper, still around 9,1 or so...I never got his high value, except on the Maple Leaf, it's so strange) Thanks for the video!

Great video, wondering what the Sigma PMV would show on that counterfeit? Liked and subbed.

Our Sigma Verifier nailed it as fake and it wasn’t even close to the real thing.

Excellent juxtaposition when you overlaid the legit coin on top of the fake where you could actually see both discrepancies of the T and Y...perfect comparison easily shown.

So you say that T & the Y are different........

Yes, the fonts are different. One is thicker or more bold than the other. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Brought a fake one for fun. $4, it weighed an ounce instead of a troy ounce, failed magnet test, and diameter and thickness was the same as a Maple leaf. The engraving didn't have the depth as a genuine one too, reeding also looked like it was painted over, perhaps it nickel plated instead of silver. Are all genuine Eagles a frosted silver colour, regardless of the year?

Only aware of Proof finish, Burnished finish (matte finish), and regular or standard finish.

Wear & toning can make the finish a bit decieving in some cases.

Fake coins are good for decoys. I have a few to throw off anyone hunting for the real stack
@WilliamAyres-mr8zx3 ай бұрын
Also the real 2023 silver eagle has an upward curve to the bottom of the 3 on the 23 of 2023 and the fake does not-good hunting my fake also has the new rim security space on the rim at about 3 oclock.

Just the fact that you bought it for 10.00 below spot should have tipped you off.
