Bullion Dealer Shows Newest Fake Gold Coins From CHINA

[@wildbunch98663]

I had a guy pull up to me at a gas station and he told me that he needed money to get home and had gold to sell. He wanted me to buy it from him. He said he was from Dubai. First thing I tried was the old magnet test and it stuck. He tried to tell me that Dubai gold is magnetic.

[@Null-o7j]

Nothing good ever happens at a gas station. They attract ghetto people like moths to a flame.

[@chrismalcomson7640]

I used to deal with a lot of silver when i was an antique dealer. I got a feel for the real thing and I didn't need to see the marks to know it was solid silver. In the days when gold was normal currency they used to bite the coin to test its authenticity. I guess you can't do that with mint coins.. I've known a few fakers of antiques and it can take a level of skill much greater than the original craftsman to fool the experts.. Your advice of buying from a reputable dealer sounds like very good advice to me...

[@nmarkose]

Is it possible to get fake gold or silver from a big online dealer like JM Bullion? I'm honestly asking the question and prefer not to be ridiculed, if you people don't mind.

[@bluffem]

I've purchased from JM bullion many times. If you ever test it and find its fake they will take it back. But I've never had that happen in many purchases over 10 years.

[@GraniteInTheFace]

Always possible.

[@felipetejeda7545]

Very unlikely, they are a reputable bullion dealer and wouldn’t destroy their reputation. They test all their stuff.

[@jeremywehrman906]

@@felipetejeda7545 I fully admit that I'm a little paranoid. ✌️

[@TGriffiths-ve6nw]

I can see the respectable dealers testing every gold coin but maybe they could get a little slack on a silver coin? Just an observation on human nature not an accusation. People are more likely to get lazy on a $30 coin than a $2000 coin if they are going to get lazy at all. The most confident that I have ever been was when I bought some silver directly from First Majestic. They mined it and then sold it direct. The only middle man is the refinery which is about as safe as you can get. That being said, I don't worry at all about buying silver from the reputable dealers anyway.

Never do that with a gold coin, you WILL damage it. The ping test is for silver which is harder than gold and has different acoustic properties.

I’ve asked dealers to test the coin in front of me before the exchange occurs and they have always been professional about it. Courtesy goes a long way, happy stacking!

This is definitely why ive only bought from reputable companies. Id hate to have to give someone street justice for trying to pass something fake off on me. Even if im spending more on a piece through online dealers you're paying for that peace of mind along with the authentic metal. The scary thing is ive heard of Coin shops even getting fakes slip through the cracks. I carry around a pretty powerful magnet on my key chain but its only good for one test. If i was buying gold from random people i think id definitely want to bring the testing acid along for further testing.

I bought bullions 6 or 7 years from a store in Huntington Beach, CA (Liberty Coin) and some of them were fake. The store staff and owner never admitted their wrong doing. I have receipts and I have one witness who noticed few differences between the the two sets of bullions just after we bought them. But I unfortunately dismissed the difference as I could not believe some bullions would be fake when bought from a store. If I ever bought gold again, I will bring a magnet.

Interesting. They do a booming business on ebay. I bought a silver dollar from M. Barr on ebay a year ago that tested fake on my sigma. Sure nuff, it's weight was off by three or four grams, just like the fakes I bought in the Philippines years ago, before I knew anything about coins. Don't make that mistake either. Needless to say, ebay did nothing, and Barr swept that under the rug asap.

@anthonycolbourne4206 Hi Anthony I used to work in a jewellers years ago but mostly they would snatch and run when it did happen. The nearest we had I think was people swapping rings around on a tray and trying to claim it was there from the start and that meant we had to sell it to them for the lower price which we didnt. The rings also had tags attached you couldn't remove without scissors . So anyway that wasn't a great plan on their part. Thanks for the reply

It IS all about the Ring. Gold and Silver coins have a "Ring" to them, it is a very characteristic Ring. If you strike your gold or Silver coins and get a thud or a thunk or no real identified sound and NO Ring, that coin IS fake. The Ring must be clear and single tone. Your coin store owner should be able to demonstrate this with authentic gold or Silver dollars or Eagles. Silver coins have their own ring and gold coins have their own characteristic Ring. The ring will be the Resonant frequency of the metal and the size of the coin. Remember, authentic Gold and Silver coins WILL Ring. All others do not.
