Ah fingers indeed another banger❤ I’ve seen the 1907 high relief omega in a ślad going for $6k. I believe the counterfeit coins have a place in everyone’s hearts . The time it took to make em is mind blowing

I remember when I got my pre33 us gold in 1998. There was a book I used to identify counterfeits. Author was Fivaz. I don't remembering seeing if all the ones that were not in the counterfeit book examples were simple REAL gold copies for the reasons you talk about in this video. The only genuine counterfeit I found was for a buddy, and he got a refund back from the lcs he bought it from. But, was it real gold? Good mystery. TY for sharing Dub-C.

Excellent update video. I would always say, fakes should be removed from being resold as genuine. There are also collectors who buy fakes when gold is same or higher than it should be for said coins

Glad you liked it. I have an irrational fear of a genuine coin being mistaken for a fake and being melted! But overall I agree.

Excellent Video. You explained this topic very well. Do you think any counterfeits slipped by NGC or PCGS back in the 90's? Rattler or Old Green Holders? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

@@MrExplorer05 That's a great question! I doubt any slipped through. But it's possible!

I’m on the hunt for an excellent counterfeit $5 & $10 gold Indian. I love stuff like that and own a number of authentic examples.

Thank you for shedding light on this important topic. Do you ever use tooling marks or other diagnostics to determine genuine vs. counterfeit? I tried, and was quickly convinced that all my pre-33 was fake!

@Dub-C_Coins 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! I've tried using tooling marks and the eagle tail feathers, too. I'm just not sure what I'm seeing is definitive. The biggest red flag for me is if the coin is a high grade of uncirculated--which is also not definitive.

Thanks! How much would one of those Sigma units set me back?

@Dub-C_Coins 4 ай бұрын

The basic unit like mine is right about $1000. They also have more advanced units that run about $1500 to $2000. Search for Sigma Metalytics. You may find them cheaper through some of their distributors. And don't forget to check eBay for those distributors, too. Often they'll be discounted, offer free shipping, etc. Just make sure it's a legit account selling them.

Many of these coins are the result of Americans that kept their gold and sent it to Europe to have it made into copies of the pre 33coins legal to own . If they contain slightly more gold than the original then they could not be convicted for counterfeiting under the law . I am pretty sure some were made here but everyone credits the Europeans with them

@Dub-C_Coins 2 ай бұрын

That is a really interesting theory--both the idea of Americans sending their gold overseas an intentionally having a higher purity to skirt laws!
