You are absolutely correct COPY doesn't denote the coin is fake nor that it is clad or Plated. It denotes that it is a copy of another previously used coin design.

I stack many 1 ounce silver rounds. Was doing this since I was a kid. From this "COPY" experience I also ran into, I'm very anal on how I choose my silver. I don't just look at the purity of the silver, I look at how believable the presentation is, and how easy can I sell it back for. While most rounds I buy don't have the word "COPY" stamped on them, I did get a buffalo round once with that word on it. After I tested it by weight, dimensions, sliding magnet, and xray, I realized it was still a legitimate ounce of silver - it was real. However, I was curious about how hard that ounce would be to sell. I took the "COPY" round out of the safe, along with an identical-looking buffalo without the stamped word. The one without the stamped word was sold 20 minutes after I pulled it out of my safe. The legit-but-stamped "COPY" buffalo took several weeks to find someone who believed it was real. **So, what I was getting to: Just because something is real and authentic, does not mean it's a good investment. Because what good is a real hundred dollar bill when nobody wants to accept it? So stamping "COPY" on legitimate .999+ silver is .999+ idiocracy.

This was extremely informational because I'm trying to sell a few as well and people are telling me that they're fake! I will be using your video to show others.

They are most likely meaning that these are not original coins, certain U.S coins are extremely valuable, much more so than silver. So it seems to me that it isn't the silver being called fake but maybe representation of a coin if its claiming to be an original coin?

Genuine silver rounds that have "copy" stamped on it means it has a similar design to a government minted coin. You are correct! Some people without this knowledge will get the wrong idea from this stamping. Sorry you had to go through this.

So what did the Precious Metal Verifier say? Is it real SILVER OR NOT? ...

I bought a bunch of eagle copies and brought them home when I noticed the word copy. My first thought was I got ripped off, so I ping tested them and they sounded dead compared to an original ASE. At that point I weighed them and they were about.02 over. At this point I was convinced they were fake so I called the guy I bought them from and he said to bring them back for a refund. In the meantime I did a specific gravity test and they all tested good, so I hsd to call the guy and apologize to him. I still have them and I learned to do a specific gravity test, it's easy and cheap, I also learned that not all silver rounds sound the same when you ping them. Great video thanks.

LOL 😆 i had a local coin shop saying i had a fake COPY 1/4 pound silver Eagle when i showed him . i showed him he had COPY 1.oz and 1/2o.z Eagles on display for sale. LOL they been in business since 1970's & they din't know about Obama giving green light on US mint copy rights . 👍

NOT ALL "COPY" ROUNDS ARE FAKE. LEGALLY THE MAKERS HAVE TO PUT "COPY" TO MAKE SURE NOONE THINKS ITS LEGAL TENDER

The National Collectors Mint in 2001 Silver Buffalo Proof set has one full oz. of .999 pure silver. The second proof is clad in 100 Mil .999 pure silver. The same copy# is on both proofs. The pure silver proof has 1oz. .999 sterling silver printed on the face side.

The word "copy" just means the "design" was copied. It doesn't mean anything else.

Most private mints choose not to stamp copy on their rounds. However, a private mint called Westminster Mint stamps "copy" on their rounds. Westminster Mint's rounds are genuine 999 silver. I guess Westminster Mint chose to stamp "copy" on their rounds as a precaution against getting charged by the Feds. Considering that rounds and medals lack a denomination, I think stamping "copy" is unnecessary. The "copy" stamp will make rounds harder to sell because it confuses people. An example being that idiot that harassed you. I guess that troll doesn't know how to research things on the internet.

I just purchased a 1893 Morgan silver round for $25. I read the reviews afterwards and someone said it wasn't real. But it looks real to me.

Thx 4 calmin my mind. I thought my P.M dealer sold me a fake american silver eagle. U Rock Doc. I was worried cause it's the only one I found in my stash. 👍👀🖖👻🤘😎🎸🎶

There are many silver bullion with old coin designs as tributes that do not carry the Word copy on them. Intaglio mint for example. U need further testing.

Reputable minters will indicate their brand logo and silver contained(9.999, etc. on the coin/round).

So I guess lesson is why not buy "copy" stamped coins I mean still silver and discount. May not look as cool as the others but for the price you get more and then still your coins will go up in price do to a fact of getting them for great deal.

I have an 1804 Silver Dollar with the word COPY on the back. It is not magnetic. So, it is a bit confusing. Ideas? To make it weirder ... as you know... they never made those in 1804 in the first place but many years later. Thoughts?

I got a gold buffaloe coin 2017 with the word copy on it. Coin dealer did not take it out of case. Told me it was worth a dollar.

Hello, i was recently gifted a 2021 0.96oz gold buffalo nickle coin, originally thought it was one from the infomercial, however it doesn't contain a $50 or .9999 stamp on the bottom, "has copy stamped on the native american's braid", any info you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks

LOL, I have a piece of eight with "copy" on the side, and yes its not 300 years old (its a new made one), its a copy, but its still one ounce pure 999 fine silver tho.

Thx for the video. I have a Buffalo and Morgan Copy coin, but nowhere does it say there is silver in the coin. It does not sound right when I drop it on the table. Thoughts? I can take it to my LCS too. Thanks -Frank

I have a question I have a 1895 E pluribus unum coin and it’s a copy of the Morgan dollar do you think it may be real ? The color on it looks gold and sliver...

I bought a silver dollar COPY tube and it had one real one. You can tell the difference. But yes its silver just like the Panda coins and Mickey Mouse coins.

These are bullion rounds made to resemble coins, they are not coins. They are stamped copy and should also have a stamped .999 silver on the edges, with out the .999 they are not 100% silver. The fake bullion rounds weigh less the an ounce.

All that guy had to do was google "Copy stamped on silver coins means" and he would find lots of support for what your saying. I swear people are just willfully ignorant.

Stamp copy means is not real. I have a couple gold coins stamped copy including 1933 20 dollars double eagle

the ping test should be 3800 hrts, the liberty dollar coins should weigh 31.20 grms the .20 varies ,also when holding rightside up and flip it front ways the back should be right side up as well

I have 2 - 50c coins, dated 1824 and 1835 w/ "copy" stamped on them. Also a $1 - 1882 w/ "copy" stamped. They all look like "copy" was hand stamped. I just thought they were replicas.

I have seen (and obtained) coins marked "copy" that absolutely ARE Fake, they are not real silver, etc. There should be marking these real silver coins with something different from the totally fake coins!

Thank you I recently procured coins stamped copy and wasn't sure what to think of the Morgans I acquired. What are they made of are they still silver? Are they weighing over or under what Morgans or these other rounds are. Some people like copies and actually collect counterfeits of numismatic coins.

did anyone question the content of what the coins are made of is still fake because of "copy"

It would be nice to see mints taking the lead of sunshine mint. Those all have etchings which can be verified by holding a card over the silver round. It would be even better to see mints not using vintage designs for thier rounds. That way weight, purity and, makers mark can be shown without much dispute.

How rare is a S morgan 1883 copy?

Only thing that matters is a coins SILVER CONTENT

The ones from china say copy so it's a double whammy. Better to avoid them if you can and get generics as generics. Otherwise you get annoying buyers

I was lucky today, I went to buy silver generic rounds the coin dealer said he had bullion marked copy and it was harder to sell, he gave to me at spot. He put them on a tester and scale, everything was right. Obama made bullion dealers using similar coins to government minted coins stamp copy on them. These coins are real 999 fine silver. I bought 10 rounds 3 had the copy mark. Getting them at spot I felt was a bonus.

Copy sometimes means fake, or replica.. same saying in some since... I would hope not for that would freaking suck!!!’

Hey I'm so glad you put this up. As I purchased some so I needed to know if they are real .999 silver. This vid completely answers the question. 😊

I also believe they are what they say they are, the problem is not all company's are following that guide line. None of the rounds I bought from silver.com has copy stamped on them, so this will keep coming up until everyone stamps them or no one stamps them.

The Copy coins still contains REAL SILVER.

I agree with you, and Hi Ho silver! I have a small stack of those buffalo rounds! I bought them from my LCS! I usually don't like to buy the rounds that say copy, but sometimes they are such a good deal that I can't pass them up.

I want that engraved round lol. I am going to start pouring my own silver and us the word COPY as my stamp lol!!!

I just got 2021 Liberty Head copy. I’m trying to find what it is.

It's a replica of vintage currency.

hello ranmatendo, i got a $50 buffalo gold coin with a small "copy" stamped. i also got some other commemorating buffalo gold coins with a large "copy" on it. i know these are gold plated. does it mean the one with a smaller "copy" word is not a genuine Gold coin?

So the 2001 Indian Head Buffalo proof silver rounds that have a copy number on them that I just bought are legit? I was thinking the same way as you are. That they are just copies of the minted nickels.

Chinese counterfeit,all of them

Thank you for showing this video Me an others were about to send them back

That's what happens when people argue over the meaning of a word before they actually define it.

i have a few generic buffalos , they don't say copy, is this something they have to do now?

A question I found a coin whit the back say copy -# aa162 what this mind ?

The shit is magnetic

I have some silver rounds with copy on them also!

I have morgan dollar that has the word copy below the in god we trust

Hi I had a question I have a buffalo $50 coin 99% gold and it says copy on it was a little lost because I bought it from a dealer that had but in liberty coin with it and I got this coin with it and I said copy on it been a little confused if it’s real or Nah would like to talk to you more about this since you know a lot about coins I have copy

Where do u get the one on the far right that has the same design as the gold double eagle? I so so want one of them but cannot find one. Oh and I know there real .999 solid silver even though they say copy it says copy because it's a copy of the Gold Eagle but it's in solid silver anyway where do you get them?

Wow I think the guy going to regret for giving a away his copy coins their probably worth more or a lot of money wow when u hit the coins with another coin it as a high pitch ring that last a little longer then the others coin that's how u know u got the real coin or make the queen in the air and then you can hear the ring of the coin a regular coin doesn't ring like a high pitch ring to it

I have a gold bufflo coin that says copy under the chin is it real thank you

Hes right, just because it says copy, does not necessarily mean it is not .999 Silver. However, definitely say away from ANYTHING that says "copy."

I was gave 8 rounds today 4 are 1 oz silver 4 are not u can weight them..I also was gave 2 s Washington dc quarters that are .999 and the weight is correct on them so they're Silver 100%

This video is not proof that these rounds are .999 silver. It just states one “sellers” opinion. Test with a Sigma to be sure.

Those people are tripping, those are real silver generics.

I would rather have a barely readable, heavily circulated real coin than a reproduction one that says "Copy" on it. Or, a plain Generic.

I have many ob these copy coins

Some mints fear legal action and jail because of "Liberty Dollar" creator Bernard von NotHaus. Stamping "copy" on rounds is simply to CYA

Real!!

i have liberty 1795 coin have the word copy on it

I believe they are all real but think it is completely unnecessary to stamp it.

I agree with you...

If a round is stamped .999 Fine Silver, then it is .999 Fine Silver.

when you hold the coin right side up and rotate it sideways the back should be upside down ! those are fake

"ranmatendo's 200 sub giveaway"

There's a ton of 99.9 silver that's not authentic government issued coins like Morgan's or silver eagles silver content don't make the coin real
