**ALERT** Three fake 1 oz Gold American Eagle coins came into the shop and they were very good counterfeits. We DO NOT handle items like this. This video is made and published so that consumers can educate themselves on real vs fake. These were shipped to us from Massachusetts. Please be careful and buy from trusted dealers.

When you drop it on the table, the one that gives the thud sound is coated tungsten. That explains why the weight is very close to real. Gold should ring when gently dropped on the table. When you rotate and see how the light reflect, the one which is stamped (real) shows a circular reflection. Because the surface is compressed when stamped. Electroplated one shows a dull reflection. (fake) XRF (X-Ray) which uses a 50kV x-ray tube can only penetrate surface 10-15 microns. To fool this gun, you needed a plating more than 15 microns. Not difficult to do.

I'm surprised weight didn't come in. It's clearly something gold-coated per the spectrometry. There aren't a lot of materials that can fake gold in terms of density etc. What I found really interesting is how obvious the difference in resonance/sound was. Gold and silver both have a distinctive sound to them. That makes me more confident in that it seems the easiest test works the best.

If you want to verify what machine reads fake gold accurately, test the machine on both a known fake and known real sample, both using the machine and acid test. I have found that the Sigma PMV failed miserably in detecting fake gold and more likely than not reads real when the subject coin/bar is in fact fake.

Thanks for this. I just did a major purchase from a retailer I can trust but wanted to double-check anyway. Now that I know what to look for it seems pretty obvious which is the fake. Fortunately, my coins passed the test. The biggest giveaway for me was the thickness of the raised rim in the fake. I'm guessing that's how they add the extra material to make the weight correct.

In a world of deceit, why should we trust anything these days? I was looking to buy a few of these coins and I want to thank you for this video. The one thing I've learned from buying and selling silver for over 25 years is the shimmer, white Christmas lights is one of the best ways to find out if you have a real silver coin or a fake one. If you place a silver coin under a white Christmas light, you roll the coin around and you get that cartwheel effect. The cartwheel effect applies to silver bullion as well. Great video, thank you for this because I'm about to buy my first Eagle at a very high cost of $1932

Because of the ugly face I was doubtful of the one on the left, but the real coin looked to have less definition (until you moved them) also the real coin the buildings windows are undefined and the twig thing looks muddled up into the stars pattern. Also the clarity of the date on the fake looked better first glance. Gives a whole new meaning to "Too good to be true".

Matthew Kuraja The Fisch would most likely be fooled by these fakes. However, I'm not 100% certain of this because I did not use a Fisch to test these. The weight of the fake was exactly the same as a US Mint 1 oz Gold Eagle, and though I did not use calipers to precisely measure the width, the fake and the genuine did have matching diameters when stacked together. Check the molecular density of Tungsten and Gold... you will see that they are nearly identical. Therefore, gold and tungsten would be nearly identical in volume and mass. i.e. there are ways to fool instruments designed to test for these properties (which is what the Fisch offers). Train your eye and ear to the sight and sound of the precious metals.

Another question. I was always told one of the merits of gold as money instead of diamonds is that it's uniform in appearance. Meaning, its luster is the same from coin to coin. But the coins I have vary noticeably. Some look quite dull and some have a bit of a shine. Much like the image above. I bought them from a big (assumingly reputable then) dealer who told me the coins slightly vary in appearance because they were minted in different years. Also, I bought a scale and weighed them. The scale goes to the thousands place and the coins vary at the thousands place. Note, the scale reads the coins' weights consistently but some are consistently different than others. When I google for the weight of a gold eagle, I'm given a very specific weight that goes much further out in fractions. I still don't know anyone else that owns coins so I can't see if these observations I just listed are normal or not.

That's a very important statement. You HAVE to be closely familiar with what a real coin looks like. The more experience you have with a real one, the easier it is to spot a fake with just a visual inspection. The stars are too far from the edge on the fake, the font of the date is too bold, and the edge just doesn't have the proper rounding when the coin is viewed from either side. And of course there are all the other differences mentioned in this video. I could spot this fake from ten feet away: not because I'm a genius but because I am so familiar with the coins.

@troodon1096

For both reasons, actually. Pure gold is very soft; mixing in copper into the alloy hardens it, and silver helps it have a brighter luster to make up for the copper dulling it a bit. But it also makes it harder to fake. The fake one in this video is probably tungsten plated with almost pure gold. The fake's surface is thus a lot more yellow than the genuine coin because of that.

Compelling tungsten counterfeits have been on the rise in recent years. For some time now, we have been working a simple method of detecting these fakes as an addition to the checks done by the Fisch. Called The Ringer, the new tool rings the coin. A 916 fine gold coin has a long distinct ring when struck; 999 fine gold a less distinct ring but a tungsten fake only produces a dull thud.

If I never had a real one to know the differences instantly, that might fool me, but the letters seem too off to be really high quality.

Thanks for sharing, it's helps in educating the masses. I recommend your next step is to call the Secret Service since US coins being counterfeited is serious enough for them to investigate.

If fraud is involved, then yes, you call the appropriate authorities. In this instance, the coins were sent to me from a seller in Massachusetts, who had purchased the coins from another person, who had purchased them from the fraudster. Simply reverse the chain of custody as far as you can and then it is on that person to handle the claim with the proper authorities. In this case, it was only 3 transactions deep. If you deal with reputable people, then it makes it much easier to trace the counterfeit to its fraudulent past... The chain of custody has less hurdles as good people will work to resolve the problem through mutual trust. The Secret Service is the proper authority to contact when counterfeit coins are used to defraud. I did not need to involve the Secret Service because the person sending the coins to me did not intentionally try to defraud me. He did not need to involve the Secret Service because the person who sold to him did not intentionally try to defraud him. However, that person WAS intentionally defrauded and therefore contacted the Secret Service to find the fraudster. This supports the advice that you should find a reputable dealer and do business with them because some significant financial risks can be eliminated by only dealing with the right person.

How can you tell, if you do not have a real one before-hand to compare it too?

Market Harmony, there is a cheap app for android phones called Bullion Test that quickly does a frequency test after pinging the coin on your fingertip. It currently supports Eagles and it would be very interesting if you ran these coins through this app and posted the results.

To me, the texture of the flat background gave away the fake. It’s more “flakey” rather than satin smooth like the real one.
