More FAKE Gold Coins! - An Everyday Occurrence!

We accidentally duplicated the image in the video, rather than using the fake and genuine, the image placed in the video was just of the fake.

Audio sounding awesome!!! Well done all involved

6:20 I once came across an “1896 Perth” sovereign, which was quite the feat since the Perth Mint didn’t open until 1899.

Good one! ​ 😎

Thank you, Lawrence, for once again showing us the rigorous tests Chards performs to ensure that every piece of Gold we buy is 100% authentic. Your expertise and dedication give us confidence in the integrity of our purchases.

Really good,informative channel. Thanks and keep up the good work. Ade.

Excellent video. 👍

[@johnhurrell9312]

That fake still looks better than the bullion RM are pushing out right now

[@lawrencechard5914]

That's a little harsh! ​ 😎

that guy is a fake cos he posted same picture of the 1904 one !!!

Enjoyable educational episode. Cheers Lawrence.

Interesting video!! Bravo!

An FYI, US double eagles do come in different colors, sometimes they are more yellow gold color, sometimes they are much more of the copper color. Even modern buffalo bullion coins can be very different shades one year to another.

[@lawrencechard5914]

I have notice that double eagle colours vary, but not greatly. Buffalos should all be identical in colour as they are .9999 gold.

[@ah5836]

​@@lawrencechard5914 You'd be surprised. I've not seen a definitive explanation why but there are variations. Buffalos are also well known for developing red spots, there is debate whether it's from trace copper or silver, I've not personally seen a spot on any other pure gold coin or bar other than buffalos

[@lawrencechard5914]

@@ah5836 "Red spot", probably caused by copper content is quite common on lots of different "fine gold" coins. There is an info page on our website titled "Red Spots on Gold Coins". You should be able to Google it.

2:30 Indeed, the 1949/1951/1952 George V restrikes have a telltale high rim.

[@lawrencechard5914]

Correct! ​ 😎

Thank you. Will there be anything tempting in the Black Friday sale?

We started it early for some mailing list customers, and we think so.

Let us know if you find something you like!

[@pault5188]

Thank you for all your good work !! Very interesting.. a fake 1922 sovereign... who would have guessed the gold content was too high 😮

[@dachiefy6745]

Great detective work Lawrence as always 👍🏼. Like I’ve said before that’s why I only use your company,💯 % trust thank you 🙏🏻

[@thevelologist18]

Thank you once again Lawrence - always very informative. Its amazing that you are probably finding these examples on such a regular basis!

[@lawrencechard5914]

Almost daily! ​ 😎

[@lukespooky]

Whats the most recent date youve seen on a fake sovereign? Most seem to be 1910s or 1920s

[@lawrencechard5914]

Possibly 1968 ​ 😎

Boss I want to purchase your five 9s gold maple leaf but I'm curious as to why it costs more out of its original packaging

[@lionelalberts2650]

Hello I test my gold and silver coins on the Sigma Metalytics. What is your opinion of this instrument?

[@lawrencechard5914]

We do use them, and they are quick and easy to use, particularly for checking batches of the same item, but XRF gives an alloy analysis, which I find more useful.

[@lionelalberts2650]

Many thanks for your reply.@@lawrencechard5914

[@HarleyDavidsonVince]

Thats why you cant beat real estate

[@Calmness1014]

Surely it's still worth something though with it being gold in it?

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Wouldn't there have been a slight margin of error in the 1800s-1933?

[@lawrencechard5914]

Error in what? Gold assaying was still very accurate. Why pick 1933? 😎

[@michaelmohrle1773]

@@lawrencechard5914 Because those are the coins he's showing and testing pre-33 gold coins. Maybe very accurate but not 100%, I would think. Why can't fakers make the correct 90%-10% then with a tester like this?

The fake sovereign are still gold ? Do you melt them? Big fan of the show watching from canada 🇨🇦

[@lawrencechard5914]

We scrap most of the, but save a few of the most interesting or educational. 😎

[@UK-Blue]

So did you actually give just the gold price to the customers? Or have you just borrowed the coins for the video? And... I suppose if they have had the coins a good while and still got gold price for them, then it's not a bad outcome for having a fake. A lot better than a fake that is just plated!

[@lawrencechard5914]

We paid a decent scrap price. ​ 😎

No, I am absolutely real. Our videographer will check the video next week, and respond. ​ 😎

[@Chard1964Ltd]

Thanks for the comment, I think you're referring to the previous video where Lawrence mentions that we're going to look at a fake 1904 Double Eagle, in which we show the image of the coin. The coin Lawrence referred to briefly in our previous video, was the coin we used in this video! Hence the duplication of the same image, I hope this clears things up.

[@TheFrickshow]

Nope,still not clarified. Where is picture of fake coin?

[@Chard1964Ltd]

@@TheFrickshow 13.44 into the video we show the fake coin, after Lawrence removes the genuine coin from the Niton tester, we go on to test the fake Double Eagle.

[@TheFrickshow]

@@Chard1964Ltd nope! at 13.44 its the same coin like the real one at 10.55 common guys !!
