Great video. To the point and relaxed. I love the ring test. My fav.

gravity/density test, dimensions and weight test, and sound wave test are 3 out of four pillars. Having 4/4 tests is more than what bullion dealers do..... so good on you. I don't give much credit to ping tests.... neither do bullion dealers I think it's gold ;) 4x9s Queen's gold

Buy from Scottsdale and you'll never get a counterfeit, also Apmex trains their workers and they have to be licensed to inspect each gold coin for authentication

If you hold this coin for more then 12 hours. Does it change the color of your skin to green? If so that would indicate it is alloyed (fake)

Good stuff. My 3 testing tools are Calipers/scales/Ultrasonic Gauge too. If passed all 3 tests am 99.98% confident of my metal. If it then passed the Specific Gravity test, then 99.99% confident,

@@djknox2 With the right equipment yes, just like you would need the right equipment to conduct an ultrasonic sound test. Ping test can work too you just have to have a trained ear, there are also apps to help with that.

Or be 100% sure by buying from a legitimate bullion dealer. For old circulated coins like these, they already tested them with XRF machines. For new uncirculated, they bought directly from the Royal Canadian Mint.

Thickness at the edge is 2.8 mm, not cm. Good video

@JoeyVX 2 жыл бұрын

Your calipers have some rubber on them and that adds to the thickness which won’t give you an accurate reading. You should remove them

If the thickness and diameter are correct then how could the volume ever be not correct ?

@dorian1761 5 ай бұрын

I’d say it’s real. Passed the ping test. Looks like an older maple before the security features.

Anyone with the golden eye can tell a gold coin is real or not from the very moment they lay eyes on it

You can tell by the sun reflecting off the coin that it's absolutely real, what's in the middle can be easily detected with a sigma machine.
