The bars are real..it's the bank is fake.

I’ve had more fake £20 notes than I have fake silver

[@davidp4456]

I used to buy silver on ebay and I did OK until a 10 oz bar arrived through the post. It had a snake design and looked impressive. It quickly dawned on me that it looked bigger than my other 10 oz bars. Which is when I became concerned. I weighed it and it was significantly light, measured the dimensions again, did a neodymium magnet test and was convinced it was fake. I challenged the seller who refused a return then I threatened him with legal action and he quickly changed his mind. Fake silver can sometimes be spotted on ebay before you even buy it. I wouldn’t buy from ebay now as the prices is high as are the opportunities for fakes.

[@mountainghoti1671]

There are several sellers with 50k+ ratings, and I've never had an issue with them. Always check anyways. Glad you didn't get taken.

[@jettser17UK]

So many fakes/deception on ebay from China especially, they even have the audacity to fake security marks! Fakes prices are sometimes as high as 3/4 the price of the real thing which is greedy!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Seems like always there are always predators lurking around this supposeidly safe place from eep our stacks safe and sound. I am a canadian living in BC and got ripped off by SGB/Silver Gold Bullian on a a 10 ounce bar. I was making shot and noticed the color was off so I called them at the head office in Calgary Alberta. They said I had changed the physical apperance of the bar and won't go good for it. I Had every grain of it to return and yet refused to honor their agreement that was well advertised. I have never been so agrivated by such calus treatment in this gig as I was back then. Perhaps this will serve them right about how to treat the little folks. If any of you are out there that know about this crass treatment give them a call/email or anywhere to call about this let them know about how you/have to think about how I was treated Over the last 10 years I have never/ever gone rouge on one of my sales. In Fact on the first time I ever had a sale for my Tiny Tiger heads go missing from one of my parcels was one to the states that the US Post admited to losing the package. I saw it on a post from the one fella that made the buy and It was for some of those Tiny Tigers I make so I sent him more than what I had known I made the first time. Doing that made me feel just great. The buyer was blown away by my kindness. It didn't cost a lot as I get my pouring stock a hair over spot I made him feel good about our community and made me feel really good in the process. A win, win across the board any way you look at it. Ihad just had my R leg taken off due to a previous injury while logging. The whole community got together and did a great auction for me that raised a $25,000.00 happening so as long as my days see me still breathing I will help anyone any time I know they need a hand with anyone needing it. Our community has great people in it that really care. Unlike the dealer that lies through their teeth, , , SGB is the one that has now bought out the mas majority of the silver and gold dealers and smaller mints in N America. That's it for this old stacker. I always end up wrighting a novel, LOL. Take care and happy stacking my friend. . . . . . Dean......

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

Yeah, sadly scammers exist in all kinds of markets.. even freaking pokemon games. Off topic I know but its just sad to see. I absolutely hate scammers.

[@markcolfer-henderson2722]

Have to admit watching the silver bar being sliced is actually pretty relaxing to watch :D

[@jimlewis5477]

I just kept thinking there is something wrong with chopping up a perfectly good silver bar. But, I understand what your doing. I could never bring myself to do it lol.

[@aaronhopkins6697]

It was very satisfying as now I know that I will never need to do this

[@womblestacker7993]

Banks are a joke now hate people with metals even wotmrse if you put money in from crypto

[@MRW515]

They have a duty to protect their customers against fraud

[@jettser17UK]

Who are the banks to interfere in the transactions of clients especially in their dealings! Seems very fishy since banks of all companies would know what precious metals are!

[@RobertLee-wi5kc]

Naw they know their job but not the real world. Whenever I want big cash their attitude would be don't you want a bank check instead:(

[@AB-ob3lq]

Keep the silver chopping videos coming, Its rather satisfying! How is the 1KG Geiger bar fairing? have you got through it all yet? I look forward to one of your pouring videos in the future.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I have all the bolt cutters from 4 feet to 8 inch to cut up my pieces that don't pour as they should or 10 and kilo bars when needed. I really want a verifyer. 99.9% of my pours are from 9999 shot so the first thing I do when getting a 50 ounce order of shot is make a 1 ozt bar and do a specific gravity test.I would die if I found out I had ripped someone off for one of my pours. Good post old friend. Perhaps you can show folks all the different ways to check their silver as I can no longer make videos. Have a great weekend fella !

[@michaelmcqueen4514]

Brilliant Advice & Tips

[@robpodles1343]

I would have asked: you mean like your fake fiat currency? 😂

[@zbigniewczaykowski514]

I would think it's impossible to put lead in the centre of a silver bar , lead melts at 327c , silver at about 960c, lf i try to pour something that has to be 960c to be molten around something that melts at 327c the lead would melt instantly and alloy with the silver, it could'nt possibly stay solid.

[@aleksejsusakovs5302]

If it electrogalvanising (like e.p.n.s.).....there maybe coating 2mm silver....???...but sound frequency + weight + magnetic test discover compound material

[@garyrogers7736]

Very informative vid. Oh and received my 1oz bars this week, thanks 😊

[@arkhamkillzone]

Banks are dumb

[@kubakielbasa5987]

simple, yet genius

[@asheland_numismatics]

Indeed, when you’re in the business, you’ve seen enough of this stuff you can pretty much tell in hand if something is good or not.

[@wasillastacker]

I love it. If it wasn't such a pain in the ass to ship to Alaska I would make another serious offer on that chopped up Geiger bar you had.

[@joebajetgitar9454]

to test the bar, you need ultrasonic thickness meter. non destructive way to check any bars.

[@Silfrfish]

Really interesting video, found the cutting of the bar quite fascinating to be honest. You’ve inspired me, where did I leave those pliers…

[@MrMilanoLau]

To bankers, the fiat money they print is the only real money, the paper silver they sell in LBMA is the only real silver.

[@practicalsurvivor693]

I love chopping up silver!!! I make jewelry and buy even more silver ❤

[@theGanj]

I work for the bank and they say all this because if you do get scammed banks cannot be held liable for it. I deal with about at least 5 cases a day where people get scammed when buying precious metals. once the payment is made and the funds has been moved from beneficiary account we cannot get the money back. its unfortunate when an elderly person get scammed out of life savings but what tend to happen is peoplpe blame the banks for being scammed. Unfortunately lack of people taking accountability for their action has led to this point that banks will grill you hard about making purchases which has been proven to be frequently used to scam people.

[@blacksheep6888]

All you had to do was an density test, a kilo of silver displace a certain amount of water so all you do is put a bar in a container of water measure how much the water rises best done by weight and look up how much silver displaces for its wait and wallar you know if it's real, there are many other ways. So dont cut your silver up because that will prove nothing

[@jokerswild5876]

Breaks my heart seeing these bars cut up 😂😂

[@silverbushman]

Great info🎉

[@Malice_Lonewolf]

That Geiger bar is heart wrenching to see all shopped up.

[@nevadaminer5977]

Most places drill the bar.

[@tlflora]

please dont tell me we will need coa for silver.......

[@fgstacker]

Choppy sticks! ROFL 😆

[@Switch_Styles]

Problem with bars and why they aren’t great to invest in is because they aren’t coins… they do not have Reeded edges or security features unless in assay card still. They just put doubt into the transaction. This is something I do not want to run into. I get why people like them but they aren’t for me personally.

[@HughesEnterprises]

This is not an issue selling to a reputable buyer with a Sigma analyzer. 1oz coins are 1000x more faked than 100oz silver bars.

[@jettser17UK]

Yea coins are more flexible liquid and have far better designs than bars which is why coins have higher premiums.i have a mix of both probably 1/3 in bars.

[@Revenant_Dancer]

Confused as to why chopping the bar is bad ?

[@BackyardBullion]

Some people really hate me for it. Have called me out for it and generally been quite salty. Lord knows why.

[@Karl_Burton]

😳

[@gustinsilveria]

They haven't tools (sigma metal analyzer) to check, because tools price is expensive, and they usually focus to distribute fiat money and making profit from it.

[@borisperez3129]

You’re a brave man but pouring is so much fun!👍stackers if the world, stack on!

[@blisteringbarnaclesmagnets6364]

Brilliant video people even fake copper bars it’s crazy 👍⚓️🧲

[@BackyardBullion]

Yep, I know but it's just not gonna happen how I bought these bars. If your smart and dont take risks you are gonna be just fine!

[@Jumpingintosilver]

Its so true because ive bought a cobrastacker and people he recommended ive been lucky

[@alfblack2]

there are people sensitive to silver violence?

[@BackyardBullion]

You would be surprised how much hate I have gotten for chopping up bars

[@mikhailkalashnikov4599]

Absolutely, the banks are concerned for their depositors.

[@Bekseju]

Why are you chopping that on your nice floor. Please put a board down first to protect it!

[@BusyBeeCompany]

if you won the lottery you'd have to get a solicitor to get your money out every time you wanted a different coloured Ferrari

[@raass233]

Why would you let your bank know you have real money? Are you mad?

[@RaspingPompano2]

You could just drill and test it.

[@BarryThacker-t5l]

Light a dollar bill in fakes sakes.

[@hippusmaximus9319]

Ouch... How many flakes of silver were lost in the cutting?

[@BackyardBullion]

Literally none. I weighed it afterwards and you can see it in the video!

[@davidwebb4904]

Better get used to the transaction facilitator having right of refusal of your purchases. CBDC is almost here

[@shimsteriom4191]

Choppy Sticks 😂😂😂

[@timothybender7383]

But a verifier

[@14ederan]

😱 Noooooo!!!

[@darinmullins4770]

Chop just drill it

[@philipbant657]

Doesn't VAT come in somewhere BY,?

[@pureblood1978x]

Not if you uy from bullionstar I'm Singapore. They send their silver labeled as "metal art bars" to avoid vat. Used them for years.

[@blisteringbarnaclesmagnets6364]

That gaiger bar is getting small 🤣👍⚓️🧲

[@BackyardBullion]

It's on the way!

[@CoiNoob71]

After that 5 kilo geiger destruction, I'm desensitised to your choppy sticks 😂
