Coin Shop Owner Shows Easy Silver Testing Tricks - PROTECT YOURSELF

In this video I talk about Fake silver and fake gold with a local coin shop owner. In this coin shop video we talk about silver stacking and ways to test your silver. If you are worried about fake silver bars, fake silver coins, and fake silver eagles then this is the video for you. Counterfeit silver coins have become a huge problem and you need to protect yourself. The best way to avoid buying fake silver and gold is to shop at a coin dealer or coin store that tests their metals for authenticity. Buy your precious metals from a reputable coin shop. When it comes to fake gold coins and fake silver coins most of these are coming from China. For anyone interested in silver investing and buying silver from a bullion dealer make sure to check out your local coin shop and ask them questions about how to test your silver and gold.

Imagine walking in with your fake silver and dude picks it up and flips it in the air and says that's fake got anything else?

[@Portlandpreciousmetals]

Most of the time I can tell its fake before they even pull it out of their pockets. from the other side of the room. When you handle these metals and products a lot you get to know them intimately. Get to know your metal. Grow your stack!

[@leechjim8023]

😂😂😂HAHAHA!

[@J-Rad-]

I really need to compliment this guy, he explained silver testing for the common person, better and more accuratly then the dozens of other videos I've watched on the subject, ....not everyone wants to spend thousands on equipment, kinda defeats the purpose of getting cheap silver, it becomes pricey if you can't test it cheaply and on the fly at times, pricey in that your buying fake silver or expensive testers ..Gl!

[@Portlandpreciousmetals]

Testers are just one tool in the tool box. I have had counterfeit 2.5 and 5 gram Pamp Fortuna bars test as real on the sigma so don't rely on just one method of testing. Also, Anything that has been sourced through the legitimate supply chain has virtually no risk, It is when it walks through the front door and bought over the counter that products need scrutiny. Grow your stack!

[@LegacyStacker]

Hi some feller! Yes, it's always great to be able to ensure your precious metals are genuine! There are many inexpensive tests you can do, weight test, diameter/thickness test, ping test, magnet test, slide test. 😎

[@JeffreyAllanBackowski]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how they make sliver. I seen a video of a guy doing the process start to finish. Starts off with a rock with some green stuff on it, looked like dried up old hand soap, says the green stuff is silver. Melts it down, ads a bunch of another metal that looks exactly like sliver, pours in a bunch more of a different kind of metal that looks exactly like silver. Then he's like "ok that's pure silver" the amount he made was about equal to the other two metals he added... I don't understand... still trying to wrap my head around it. Probably lying about how they make it, like how they lie about gold. Force mercury to shed an electron voila! Gold. Do it again voila! Platinum.

[@Edward-tm1dm]

You can also test silver with an ice cube. An ice cube melts pretty quickly on silver. I don’t know if gold is the same. But other metals does not melt the cube as fast.

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

It is good to see that someone is reporting these fakes..

Hi TnTcyclesPDX! That's great! Everyone should have a good LCS (or two, or three) where they live! 😎

[@LysippeLee]

I started stacking a year ago and this is the best 'watch for fake silver' video I've seen. Thanks Portland Precious Metals and Coins & Silver Dragons.

[@Portlandpreciousmetals]

Silver is an element on the periodic table. The metal can't be faked but the product design can. Most fakes are really only good enough to fool you long enough to get your money in the scammers pocket. Then you get home, examine closer and call your LCS and ask them to test it for you. Numismatic coins are a whole different story though. Scammers have been counterfeiting coins ever since coins started being used. Grow your stack!

[@LegacyStacker]

Hi Michelle Sha! Yes, in the stacking community we want everyone to be safe, especially the new stackers! It's important to know that the coins we work hard to pay for, are genuine! 😎 Stay safe and keep on stacking!

[@stephenbrier5982]

This was the best explanation of how to check for fake coins I’ve ever seen. Portland Precious Metals is where I’m going for my next purchase.

[@GrandTreeChunker]

I really appreciate you two speaking about the physical properties of the metal, and that we should remember that we are buying an element with known properties. I found it very useful to have it laid out in a sequential list of tests of physical properties to tell if you have a fake or not. And how sophisticated fakes may pass one test, but there are still other physical ways to tell.

[@danssmokintreasures]

Just the though I might have fakes in my stack drive me crazy.

[@jimgoodreau1245]

You cant tell real from fakes? And you're buying silver? Stop and educate yourself first!

[@matthewwynne939]

I'm glad you checked this place out. I've driven past it for years, and even though I've only recently started going to coin shops, I never intended to try this one out because of the area of town it was located in. Looks like a decent place after all.

[@iReviewSilver]

The best silver stacking channel. In my opinion. But many more small channels that are amazing.

[@roberthoffman4713]

Awesome tips for new and old on how to check for fakes.

The trouble is like watches, the fakes keep getting better and better….. Some of this testing seems like a good guess….. ?

[@ratlips4363]

After watching your video, I had to pull out all of my silver and put it all through the tests. Whew...glad I did as all of the coins/bars passed all of the tests. Thank for a great video and your "Public Service Announcement"

[@pghlivejamz1348]

Great shop owner and a great video.

[@larryfaulkner5705]

FYI-Selling 5oz of silver for $150 is NOT selling at spot. Plus + shipping. That is average or higher pricing than most bullion companies. Where are the savings?

[@Portlandpreciousmetals]

Who is charging that much for a 5 oz bar? Don't go there. We are at $136 at todays price. For less than $150 you can get a much nicer 5 oz St Helena Queens virtues coin. Grow your stack!

The same concept applies to things like 10 oz bars etc. A silver plated copper bar that weighs correctly and passed the magnet test will be too thick if the dimensions are correct for that brand. Grow your stack!
