I have the Verifier Pro which has both a check for surface level and also tests conductivity all the way through the metal. Also, a measurement test which I think is equivalent to a specific gravity test. I think the Pro version would sort out the silver dollars you are showing. The smaller version Verifier seems to be the one that is getting tricked into a correct reading on some of these. The quarter possibly is a cast copy with the correct 90% coin silver, but I think it unlikely because the fakers like to go after the more expensive and better grade pieces. Just from an eyeball I think you have a real piece with some pockmarks from corrosion. On the Morgan I think you are correct that that is just been heavily buffed out, probably to emulate a proof (though there aren't any 85-O proofs). If you would like a second opinion on any of these pieces I would be glad to check them for you on my Pro for no charge. If you google my name you can get contact info off my website.

Thanks. I've also seen several (and owned 1) silver counterfeits. If the numismatic value is signifigant (and especially when silvers price is a bit lower in it's up and down cycles) why wouldn't a counterfeiter use it to mint their product? Makes sense to me. That standing lib. quarter is quite something (?). It would be interesting to know ANACS opinion. Maybe acid treated to enhance details, similar to what's done to buff nickles? Which might account for it's grainy appearance too. Curious coin in any case..

I’ve been watching you for a while, Daniel shine the actual point in really opens your eyes for this thank you very much bye

Thank you

Scary! imo

Thank you for the knowledge Daniel.

Now you guys are coming up with real silver tested coins that are fake? Then when we take our coins we have gotten over decades to our local coin shops, they can tell us they’re fake and they’ll only pay us peanuts? Shameful.

hi. just started collecting/investing in coins about 3-4 weeks ago after about 50 years off since i was a little kid. trying to diversify, do something new etc. just wanted to say your videos are really helpful, you are really good at what you do.

Thx for the video Daniel

Man, this is discouraging. I'm still new to coins and I know I wouldn't be able to tell those coins are counterfeit.

I've had a few of the California DMPL come my way...they look absolutely amazing at a little distance but up close their lie is revealed for what it is, polished fields to high heaven. Another educational video, thanks Daniel 👏

Hello Daniel

i am new at this is there money in selling coins and comic book i know some that retired selling them and made lots of money

Good afternoon Daniel from Maryland.

Good looking out, thanks

THANK YOU DANIEL.

The SLQ just has too square and wide of a rim. The coin looks more like a medal than like a coin.

the SLQ is fake. thick date and edges are key.

i really believe that the designation should be changed from "artificial toning" to "questionable toning" i have seen and heard of countless coins that have toned naturally but look a certain way coming back artificial toning when we know for a fact that nobody ever influenced the patina in any way.... its getting pretty absurd on what is labeled as fake when it wasn't influenced at all

Daniel always check the third side...edges....that is also a tell if it is fake.

I've been collecting for a long time and if the quarter is a fake, it would fool me.

It looks like its been lazer cleaned. We clean stuff all the time and that quarter reminds me of that.

Very interesting video! I'm thinking the quarter may just be a well-crafted fake cast from 90% silver. A heavily-plated fake might fool an XRF scanner, since they only penetrate to a very limited depth. The Sigma however, wouldn't be fooled by plating alone - as it measures volume resistivity throughout the measured zone of the coin using eddy current induction. You could fool a Sigma by using a metal alloyed or layered to have similar volume resistivity to the target coin being imitated (Try a clad quarter on some of the silver settings).

I saw the other day where this other alloy (I’m not sure of what it is) is testing as silver even though it’s not which has been fooling some people.

what could i exspect silver dealers to pay for circulation silver canadian per 100$ face value todays price if melted would be 2400$ cad would a dealer wanted to pay $1950 be a insult should it be closer to like say 2100$ just curious thanks

LOL I should have watched all the way to the end 😂

What are the chances of talking you into sending that SLQ off to PCGS or ANACS, just for the sake of finding out what they say? It'd make a good video. 🤷‍♂

My guess is the SLQ is a dug/found coin. Possibly cleaned with lemon juice.

Have you shown us how to do a specific gravity test yet? That would tell you if it's 90% or .999 silver. Easy peasy to do.

That 1885, whoever polished that coin did an amazing job. I wish I could see it in person, I believe you when you say you can see polish lines, but, those mirror fields, and the sharp details, the person who did that has mad skills.

Thanks for this educational video, and for taking these out of circulation!

That quarter was probably dug up from metal detecting. I find some and they'll be textured.

Thank you Daniel !

To many fakes out there, buy from honest dealers and companies like sdbullion

Great information!

10 of these 1982 d pennies

Cool

I just had this discussion not even a few days ago that some will test as silver

I don't mind counterfeits just as long as they are made of the same metal composition as the coin was supposed to have. It's all just about the metal. Designs are all cool to look at but at the end of the day it's the underlaying commodity.

Very interesting

Cool

I did too same dealer dang dang dang nice to see you again, under my new account

Why would he send in those coins? Not the best looking. For example: You send nice coins to get a CAC sticker. He sent in coins that for the most part I agree with Cacg.

Daniel, you always give us more than your two cents worth of education! We appreciate your efforts and your willingness to share. You are priceless!

I have to get fifty cent for selling

I have fifty cent for selling

Who would counterfeit a muthaf.kin' penny!!😮

Thank you for getting that in my head. I have always had trouble with those. Also, i have a lincoln cent thats a small date 1982d it weighs 3.1 and the 8has a smaller hole on top larger on bottom. Who should i get to certify it ? Thank you for your help.
