The fakes are out there and getting better! Avoid gold bars. Stick with coins like Eagles, Buffalos, Maples, Krugerrands, etc. Know BEFORE you buy.

You should have measured the thickness of the fake compared to the real

@adventureswitheddie6444 3 ай бұрын

It’s twice the size of the real one

@jeffw1267 3 ай бұрын

Gold is so dense that whenever I hold a piece in my hand, my brain short-circuits. It doesn't seem possible that something so small can weigh a full ounce. This also works with 20 franc gold coins, though they only weigh a small fraction of an ounce. The thicker fake bar will not do this to me, because I'm looking at it and holding it at the same time, and my brain does the calculating for me. Counterfeiters know that most buyers won't be willing to take the bar out of its plastic card.

i believe it isn't that hard to check for fake gold bar. you've already shown the fake bar is thicker.to make up for the lower density filler. A sigma tester can easily determine fake vs real gold bar without cracking the packaging.

people make fake coins as well. buy from legitimate coin stores and reputable ones. Costco does not buy their stuffs from the streets, they buy from reputable coin dealers. That is also why once you bought them, you can't return it to costco because the store will not be able to test whether it is real or fake.

can your xrf tester verify inner composition? I don't get how the fake one shows so many other metals. unusually good fake ones are completely covered with pure .9999 gold around a tungsten. the fake one could not even pass xrf test inside the tempered packaging if it was showing that punch of different metals.

@christopherleubner6633 3 ай бұрын

The xrf will read through the plastic case, but it will take a bit longer to test. Anything else shows up besides gold and it is bogus.

I’ve been wanting to buy gold for years, but haven’t done so… I was always scared of getting a fake bar. I was thinking that I could open the package in front of the bouillon dealer and cut the bar in half to check, if it was fake, he’d have to give me my money back. Is this advisable?

@Cotterpin_Doozer 3 ай бұрын

You're far less likely to get scammed from a reputable bullion dealer who has a storefront (not in China) whose reputation means everything to them than a fly by night joe schmo at a flea market/online marketplace. But yeah the non intrusive magnet and thickness tests are a basic measure of confidence in a piece's genuiness at a legitimate bullion dealer.

It looked awful under the microscope, they clearly tried to fake it, but it was all dull and had X's and t's in the lettering. It did not spell Krugerrand. Looked like it spelled Xtugettand .

do you know anything about gold libertads not testing positive for gold on sigma metallic verifiers? i bought them from apmex and apmex is certain the products they sell is real but on the sigmas it isn’t within the brackets. i have 2018 and 2019 reverse proof libertads. non seem to test positive on sigmas

@s1988teve 3 ай бұрын

If you have the sigma set right for weight and pure gold, the arrows should be within the green, or close to the green in the yellow. Arrows off to the left slightly is fine; arrows pointing way off the scale completely to the right indicates a fake. I would take that into consideration, and then weigh and measure the coins to make sure they are within specifications. If still in doubt, take it to a coin shop. Hope this helps.

@jeffw1267 3 ай бұрын

No, because if they use base metals, the dimensions of the bar won't match up. Brass has less than half of the density of gold. There are gold plated tungsten bars, and the dimensions are very close, but those bars are less prevalent.
