- You need to learn this valuable lesson from my bullion dealer before you buy another ounce of precious metals! In this video my bullion dealer teaches us a lot about fake or counterfeit gold coins, silver coins, gold bullion, silver bullion, and how to protect yourself from getting fooled. My local coin shop dealer Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop works with a recent purchaser of twenty $20 Gold pieces to verify if one of the gold coins is fake! I also ping a $20 Liberty Head gold coin with my pocket pinger and what I find is absolutely amazing to hear! A precious metals stacker used HIS precious metals tester to check his gold and silver coins, bars, and rounds, and SO SHOULD YOU! Protect your wealth from declining purchasing power and keep stacking precious metals...just make sure your silver and gold are legit!

Yankee, the pocket pingers are incredible. I don't buy anything without using it. I was at a Coin Show in Broken Arrow and a guy thought he had a fake Morgan so we tested a real one and then the fake. The real one tested good and the fake tested bad. I'm truly sold on them.
YES! 👊🏼
how to get a pocket pinger?
where to get a pocket pinger
broken arrow? you mean broken arrow Oklahoma ? lol
Yea they are good but I wouldn't be doing that to 24 karat gold coins. Just slide them in the machine, because a ping test isn't enough for me. Its cool but not the end all
I was working alone, listening to you guys one day, and realized, instead of smoking, I could buy one ounce of silver per week. A goal of actual interest now. 52 extra ounces a year!
GREAT LESSON!!! 👊🏼
And it comes with health benefits, sweet
Around here you could buy three or four ounces a week for what smokes cost!
@@kenofken9458 yeah, if I didnt have a reserve, it's around 16$ a pack. I'm probably going to grow it this year and just puff a pipe once in a while. Buddy wanted a gandolf pipe, so I was going to make 2 ( walnut prolly)
I hope you follow through, my friend...both my Father and Grandfather died from Lung disease. My Father was a 2pack a day lucky strike non-filter smoker.
The differences between frequency on the pinger was astonishing. Great lesson to always be diligent.
If it’s that noticeable it’s unmistakable.!
We never saw the frequency on the app????
The first silver that I ever bought was almost 10 years ago to the date from a shop here in Minnesota. Well it turned out that half of the bars stuck to a magnet when I got home that day. Old man tried to pull a fast one on a rookie. Always check all of your precious metals everytime. Especially now...
Happend to me with a Mexican coin …at the lcs…he said he didn’t know but he was also bragging how he’s been doing it for 30 years
Damn what shop was that? Twin cities area?
@@well.thy.one. Gotta be Anoka, they are a shifty crowd up there, but could also be Edina.
Oofta
@@jetboy770371 wow good call on Anoka
Always learn something from these videos. Really appreciate Yankee/Tim taking time to share this knowledge with this community. Cheers!
This guy is like the coolest Grandpa none of us ever had. Keep the videos coming! Very knowledgeable guy and great content!
I beg your Pardon Speak 4 yaself.
Thank for the information Yankee. Sad we have to deal with this kinda stuff, but good to know there are tools out there to help identify them.
Honestly I would love to see a video of Tim speaking about staking in Europe, from that perspective. He is so knowledgeable! Especially for the fact that here we have +20% VAT taxation for every damn coin we buy. In Romania, for example, I have to buy an extra 19% for every maple leaf. So here, a really good price for one its 36,50 USD, and an American Eagle its 50$ without transport fees. Yep, beside that, from 2023 Brussels imposed VAT for silver for the only country that was without, Estonia, home for European Mint, one of the biggest bullion dealer from Europe.
I would buy gold only as most places have tax free gold. Buy silver when visiting US
Great idea! I will ask him about this. Thanks for watching! 👌🏼
That's your for the bankers by the bankers style govt. in action. I suffer no moral delimmas sidestepping such thievery, but everyones situation for sidestepping unsuccessfully, holds different consequences. Sometimes you have to just eat it and not look back. Heavily taxed gold in hand is still better than no gold and a bunch of numbers on the computer screen. 🇺🇸🦅
The sustain on the actual 1904 is absolutely REDUNKULOUS!
My pocket pinger is in the mail, lol. I plan on getting a Sigma this year as well. I test all my metals more so for me being a old salt and enjoy the scales and measures. Just as old soldiers and vet would care for the boats. A good shine for some reason is so rewarding to soul to me.
Thank you Yankee, another awesome video! I learn something new with every video and Tim is a true patriot!
I really love my Pocket Pinger that I won from you ! All the best to you, Ms. Yankee, your kids, and Tim !
Great as always. Now I have to set up video all through my house to record where I left items I can not find ?? !!! Think Tim should at least test all GOLD he sends out, but he is a great and wise man. Love the way that gold tested on the pocket pinger.
My daughter's mom. My ex wife passed away a few months ago. My daughter is 21. I took custody of her at the age of 12. She is working learning excavation and getting her CDL. She asked me what she should invest some of her inheritance. I told her to buy silver and or gold bullion. For Xmas I went to Coins and Carets here in Kalispell Mt and bought her 10 oz of silver bars. Too get her started. She now goes each paycheck and buys at least 5oz of silver. Hopefully ole dad gave her some good advice. I've been collecting coins and bullion since I was 13. Now 54.....it's definitely been a great investment for me all these years.
Happy New Years to you all 🇺🇸
Scary to see that a reputable seller passed a fake gold coin.
I definitely noticed more resonance with Yankee's coin versus the fake. Thanks for educating us guys!
Those Chynese are getting pretty tricky these days.
Chyna Chyna Chyna .
Another racist... Why am I not surprised? And can't comprehend simple English too lol
@@lawrenceng7971 HaHa, go back to troll school.
Great Video Yankee! This is why I always test my silver and gold, regardless of where I get it. Luckily, I have never found a fake. My Sigma was well worth the price! 😎
If I had one of those I'd use it even if my grandpa gave me the coin.
Love your podcast. I’ve been a jeweler here in up state NY and have always check our coin purchases. Your channel is very informative.Thank you Tim.
Love Upstate NY. Might retire there in few yrs.
I got my pocket pinger the other day. It's a great little tool that is inexpensive. I do plan on investing in one of the sigmas though as well. You can never be to careful, especially when you drop 2k an ounce on gold!
I am glad Tim and Yankee posted this video. I think it might help others. Your local coin shop will probable test your coins for free. The trust I have in Tim is worth more than a piece of gold. He is the most straight forward and honest person I have seen in over 60 years. One thing slips through and people get misjudged. If you don’t have trust, what do you have?
It really HAS helped a lot of people!! Thanks. 👌🏻
Our world has 4 fundamental practices that are problematic.
If we dont understand the causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes.
1st Large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, at interest. An increasing population needs an increase in currency, but it is ALL created as debt bearing interest.
This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing oppressive and unjust taxation, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, rates, duties, fees, fines, levies, surcharges, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.)
2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional and recirculating fiat currency allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes as DEBT, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. We call this inflation, but it's really devaluation. (Shrinkflation adds to our reduction and desolation. )
The fix ?
Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit, but further, DO NOT ALLOW ANYTHING BUT Metalic Money TO BE CALLED AN ASSET OR COLATERAL. Real Estate loans have been classified as collateral. This allows the bank to call the loan an asset, and sell it, or loan against it, which helps blow real estate bubbles. Today >80% of Bank loans are for Real Estate, 40 years ago > 80% was for industry.
Return currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy.
This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your work & money, it is THE VOLUME per population/ productivity. The banks increased the base currency supply by over 65 % since March 2020 & 300% since 2008. This is multiplied as real estate bubbles lever up equity to underwrite new loans. You can't spend it off planet, and we've had no increase in population or productivity. How can this not devalue all our savings, wages and retirement funds by a similar % as it enters the economy ?
3rd. Fiat currency whether paper OR DIGITAL has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a long term store of value, particularly in an ever expanding fiat system and it is really only taxation and the 'legal currency' label attached that creates only (artificial) demand for fiat currency.
The fix ?
Return to Silver, Gold, Copper & Nickel currency, designated by weight, not cents/dollars. These will find their own local value. These can't be printed to oblivion, have intrinsic value, and are a safeguard against bankers counterfeit loans. Continue to keep the manufacture of Gold & Silver rounds by private mints & foundries to help keep the government mints honest.
Do not allow bankers and economists of the current system to con you into believing there isn't enough Metalic Money. There is a lot of the peoples Gold sitting in every Central Bank doing nothing. Monetise it now. You mix 1% gold, 99% copper or Nickle and you have Gold backed currency. Same with Silver & Nickle. Mint 10th ounce, 2 10ths, 5 10ths and 1 ounce. Or grams in similar weights. Never give it a 'value number,' which is a lie. Give it its weight & purity, and let the market decide what it will buy. Call it 'slow money," like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you.
Probably necessary to nationalise mines & pay shareholders out in metals. We are aiming at a more just, more perfect union, and that requires we treat shareholders justly and make them whole while preserving a mining and exploration industry. So gently, thoughtfully, carefully on this one.
4th The 'world bank' and IMF are your friendly international arms of the Federal Reserve, who loan worthless US currency invented at zero cost to enslaved nations of people to purchase necessities, when their own commodities or worthless currency would do just as well. This ensures the indebtedness of nation's simply to survive.
Correct these 4 Principles and >80 % of a nation's problems would disappear. Do not allow your masters the Debt slave creator's to tell you it can't be done. They are not seeking your best interests, but theirs. It is easily done within 3 years if a Global effort was made.
Beware. The FED, IMF, WEF wants you totally enslaved with Digital currency. Convert your garbage fiat currency into Gold and Silver or prepare for destruction. Come to think of it, you better prepare for destruction anyway.
The bankers motto is : 'Preserve your Capital at all costs.' The bankers are buying Gold. We the people can afford Silver.
@@mrme3717 for a simple mind as mine is, you sound well educated in this money game. It makes perfect sense to return to all of your solutions.
@@dabone3248 Salutations Mark.
25 plus years of reading and study on the history of financial principles and money. I do wish you well. Inflation (devaluation) will rob you blind, and how is OK to indebt the unborn with 80 thousand dollar plus before they leave the womb. All to bankers who created it at no cost to themselves. It's a great sin. Please educate yourself and protect yourself by saving your excess productivity in something trustworthy. Gold and silver is the choice many choose.
That's how to treat your customers!! Tim's a great business man 👍
@@kaynefryday6637 mistakes do happen. I work part time at my LCS and at times it does get alittle crazy 🤪
Omg! I just learned something very valuable! Thank you guys so much, I must get a pinger ASAP.
I got my pocket pinger in the mail today. Pretty cool little gadget at an affordable price.
The difference between the real and the fake is actually stunning. Just bought two pocket pingers, thanks for this guys!
Awesome! Safe stackin! 👌🏼
What’s the correct name for the pocket pinger please? The sound difference was astounding
@@Amac-uz9hm He usually puts a link in the description of the video
I started buying metals a while ago because of this channel. Lately I came to realize that I love my gold krugerrand and silver dollars so much that I may never be able to sell them. I was looking to buy a new MacBook Air recently but opted for a cheap dell and a half ounce krugerrand instead.
Hearing that ping test was totally awesome, the ring/ping really does show the difference. Now there's a little education right there. ty
I always hit the like button before I watch a video with Tim. I have yet to be disappointed.
👍🏻 Lol, I do the same thing!
Hi yankee, I am watching ur Videos since a few months and I love them. I wanted to start my own stacking journey an I actually bought my first 20 ounces of silver on tuesday. Everything I know about gold and silver I know because of you. And I wanna thank u for that. So Keep going as long as u can producing those incredible Videos😁
❤ Yay! Welcome to Stackers Anonymous. Great info on this channel as you begin your journey!
I'm super honored!! 😊 Thanks so much, and happy stacking! 👌🏻
Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏
Good lesson to always buy from a reputable dealer AND to always test things yourself as well.
This show is something else! Love it!!!!!!!!!
on the reeded edge looked like a round circle almost like a flat head screw or plug at 3:12
It appears to read, 1 OZ
Thanks for the comparison in tones, Yankee. I’ll know what to listen for now!
This was so fascinating. Thanks for posting!
I'm from California and I love your show. I'm new to stacking and I'm learning so much.
So, that is why Galway's flute is so magical!
This is EXACTLY why I only deal with my LCS, whom I’ve known for years, and I know that he (My LCS) always checks ALL of his inventory before putting it up for sale, and, needless to say, they completely guarantee any PM’s that they sell..
I see some really tempting offers online all the time, but I’ve never been one to buy a pig in a poke; I like to visually examine any PM’s that I buy, and, if possible, to physically hold it in my hand before I turn over any of my (increasingly worthless) Fiat currency for it….
I wish I lived closer to Tim’s shop, he seems like a really decent LCS, and I’d have no problem patronizing his shop…
I'm the same. They always test infront of me even though they tested previously. And I'm so appreciative of that.
Another great video with Tim. Greetings from Portugal.
From what I've seen, it's extremely hard to fake the exact resonant properties of gold. Thank you so much for showing off the pocket pinger!
Seen an ad recently somewhere for them pocket pingers, but didn't figure they worked great until you showed the test with the 1904 Liberty. That's awesome!
Wow the pocket pinger the real gold sounds so different. Nice to have the sigma devise to get a good test. Nice to have for sure.
How much are the Sigma's and do you have a website you would be willing to share for the purchase of one? I need to get one, pronto!!
Yankee, thank you for the pocket pinger demo and link! I had never heard of it, now i have one on the way.
Luv yr channel and Tim is great!
Enjoy it, and stack safely! 👌🏼
Tim show! Love this guy!!!
So glad you did the ping test thx
Pocket pinger with app that verifies the frequency is great and metalytics is a must if your doing large amounts of metals !!
Thanks YANKEE AND TIM for always being very informative!!!
Love that pocket pinger. Was talking to him before he even had them made. Real cool stuff.
I really enjoy the channel... I've just now started buying Precious Metals at 54! I've learned a lot so far... Thanks! Being in the DFW Area the closest I have to you're style of dealer is Fabian Gold and Silver! Dallas Gold has nothing on them!
i'd like to see a separate video on taking apart the fake $20 gold coin. drill a hole and/or cut it in half to see what's inside.
This was a random recommended video, whereas I have recently been revisiting my coin collecting/hobby.
Very interesting. Glad I watched. Ever vigilant regarding EVERYTHING inife!
Huge difference in tone 🎵 with the pocket pinger. Nice! Also noticed something odd on the rim of the fake.
@@janicejohnson1334 No, I’m a different rooster.
Thanks for the update and info
Great video! Thank you guys
Great Videos like always 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for posting this, Yankee. Great public service announcement. 👍
Great video!!! Appreciate tester info. Will be getting one. Do you have tester like Tims too?
I’m new to all this but I’m loving your videos!
Hey Yankee I love the videos and I love Tim! Just wanted to give a shout out to the owner of the "Pocket Pinger" he's actually a REALLY nice guy (spoke with him over the phone) and i wanted to encourage others that want one to pay for your pocket pinger with GODS MONEY, like i did. Give him a call and tell him you'd like to pay for it with silver. He was very receptive to this idea. Im proud to say i was the very first customer he'd ever had actually offer to pay him with Gods money =) Cool way to help bring silver and gold back as lawful money. Blessings to my fellow stackers out there!
At 3:14 in the video, when Yankee turns the coin, look at the casting mark on the rim. It's a round spot with a diameter just a bit smaller than the coin thickness.
Saw the same thing and I commented as well. Good eye.
I spotted at 3:13 on the reeded Edge
I do a variety of tests at home but if I'm still not sure and need a metal analytics verifier, I just asked my local coin shop
I have a Sigma , but I wish it tested more metals and lower gold content
Yankee, another test I’d love to see Tim do is test a 1964 Kennedy and then test a 1970s Kennedy. They both tested good / in the brackets for 90% silver for me (just on the base, no wand used), which worries me. I’d love to know if he gets a similar result and/or why that is.
Hmmm, would like to see results from this too
This is a known issue. The coins were designed to have the same magnetic properties so that vending machines would accept the new coins.
The problem of course is counterfeiters are also watching and learning, and could tweak their alloy to fool the Sigm machine on gold and silver.
The good news is it's very difficult to make a coin that tests good and is also the right weight and shape.
I'm surprised you haven't picked up a Sigma Verifier yet Yankee. I know they are pricey (especially now) but as you can see, it just paid for itself with just one incident for Richard. You can't assume that because you buy it from a reputable place (i.e. Tim, SD Bullion, etc.) that it's real. You have to check. I know it's a splurge but I am glad I bought one a few years ago when they were still around $700. I test EVERYTHING I buy no matter where I get it from. Great video!
Right. You have to consider the possibility, even the strong probability that many of the fakes you get are not due to malicious intent of the immediate seller. They might have got scammed too.
Expensive is relative to some degree. The basic Sigma is running about $900. The pro model which apparently is more resistant to surface coatings and has some other neat capabilities, is a bit under $2,000, or roughly the price of one ounce of gold. If you only buy a round once in a blue moon probably not worth it.
If I was a serious stacker, which I'm not for many reasons, I think I'd pop for the pro unit. If sellers saw you consistently whipping that out, that alone would probably eliminate any temptation to offer you a fugazi or even one they have slight doubts about.
Yankee, You can see a cap or something on the edge of the coin at 3:12 ... I wonder if there is a place where you can rent a sigma metalytics verifier rather then buy one?
I went back to check, and you're correct. There's definitely something, Fishy on the readed edge 🤔
It appears to read, 1 OZ
If you buy one get the pro model because the one Tim uses is the old/original one and it doesn't test the inside of coins or bars. It only tests the surface. I also saw the cap/plug on the side of the coin and It looks really sketchy.
@@htrspsupra2102 Thanks for the info on the sigma and the sigma pro! ... Did not know the difference, but I do now!
@@Hasher411 Your welcome and I would buy the PMV Pro model with the bridge not the newest one that requires you to use an I pad with it. That way your covered no matter what you buy in Silver or gold.
Great informative video!
Even among friends and professionals trust but verify. Had certain rounds would test .925 then flip it would test fine due to design. Thanks again everyone for another eye opening segment.
That is mad Yankee...I would never think of checking my Gold from a reputable dealer like Tim if I lived in the US...All I have ever done is weighed and used a magnet when buying privately. I will definitely need to get a pocket pinger as it takes me a year just to save up and purchase 2 to 3 oz of Gold in the UK. I had to stop buying silver from the EU as the UK divorced them and now all silver has a 20% VAT Tax on top of dealer fees.
I had earlier ordered the verifier to test old silver coins for myself and for friends. What a surprise to find a bad gold coin especially something from Tim who is the only one I will deal with For coins. Things slip through the cracks sometimes.
This is why I broke down and bought a verifier - if it catches even 1 gold coin it pays for itself!
How much are the Sigma's and do you have a website you would be willing to share for the purchase of one? I need to get one, pronto!!
wow! what a difference of sound...god testing you two!
Thank you guys.
At 3:13 you can see a round raised button on the coin edge. IMO, this is the stump of the "sprue" which is where the liquid metal passed into he mold to cast this fake coin. LOL! They didn't even take the time to file down this "sprue stump" which as we all can see--is easily discernable under magnification. That being said, I LOVE (genuine) gorgeous pre-33 liberty head rounds.
This was an eye opener for me. I knew that the chances of getting a fake is more of a probability due to the current economic situation of the world. I purchased some Morgans, you know the ones on "special" from a TV ad. 5 of them. Well as it turned out, and I just got my pocket pinger today, they tested real. I was relieved. But I did make the plunge and I did order a sigma last week. I need to start making sure that my investments are going to be good investments as I start looking towards shows and coin shops. I have no issues at putting the tester on the counter when it comes, to make sure that I am getting what I pay for. Thanks for the great video, education and certainly the advise from both you and Tim. When I get back to NH in the spring, I am definitely going to stop in and see Tim.
How much are the Sigma's and do you have a website you would be willing to share for the purchase of one? I need to get one, pronto!!
Man that is scary that the fake looks so real. I'm glad y'all got it sorted out. I noticed a little circle on the reed as well when Yanks turned it on its side.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who spotted that!
Yes, at 3:13! That coin was molded and thats where the sprue fed into the cavity. Probably molded with lead or something with a low melt temp.
I spotted that as well I'm surprised neither of them did.
Wow, you guys are good!
Totally fascinating and scary at the same time
I only noticed a slightly rough edge on the coin through the packaging. I’m glad Yankee 0:10 showed a closeup of the edge. Tim is the first and only one I have bought coins from. Thanks Yankee for showing us Tim’s shop. Richard
I just went to order ping tester and they are out of stock, bummer. Thanks Tim and Yankee great video
From the link in the description of the video?? That one should work.
Very Interesting ! 👍
Go to 03:13 and look at the edge of the coin. See anything?
Yeah, everyone’s pointing that out. I saw it during editing. Totally bogus.
@@YankeeStacking wild how much the camera magnifies details.
@@2is1gold Sure is! And when I do onsite video like that I tend to not look as carefully as when I’m doing it in studio. I’m also a bit distracted by other things.
I went to an estate sale last weekend and I got 8 things for $10. One of the items was a 14k gold bolo with a 1905 S $5 gold piece in the middle. I took it to my favorite coin store to verify it was real. I turned a $1.25 investment into $2100 profit. If I didn't need the money, I would have kept it.
Awesome! Thanks for the ring!
hi yankee.
Great shout on the pocket pinger...I assure thats there real selling name...also..the Sigma rerifiers....I can't seem to find these for sale in UK...thanks again for doing the vids, there Great education for us newbies..👍👍
that you have the good and fake side by side, is the fake one noticeably thicker than the real? To make it weigh correctly?
The customer on the phone mentioned some Franklin halves testing questionably.
I've noticed that, too, as I've gotten some inconsistent readings on my PMV. Some of them were juuusst outside the bracket, however they passed the ping test clearly. It is curious🤔
It sure is! I wonder what was going on back then.
I would trust Tim with anything.
I have a Sigma but I always carry my Pocket Pinger with me, It stays in the Glove Box of the Truck. It's my first line of defence if I just stop in a Pawn Shop or somewhere that does not specialize in Coins and Bullion. I might just have to Drive from Florida to Tim's shop sometime just to buy from "The Man" himself... Tim for President and Yankee for VP!!!😄
Great Tim video! Fake coin, yikes! I'm getting a pinger.
Please provide a link for buying the metal analytics verifier
Called a sigma
sigmametalytics.com
I recently found 332 forged William III half crowns, shillings and sixpences in one hole metal detecting in a field Leek, UK. Like Tim said it was a cottage industry and this area coined the phrase "Flash Money" as Flash is an area in Leek. Lots of families and farms were producing coins and notes.. This particular guy George Fearns was notorious and caught by a sting between the Royal Mint and Scotland Yard, and was hung in 1801. Full story is in the American Digger magazine or on my youtube chanel.
Wow, what a tale! Sorry you were not treated to genuine gold ☹ Keep detecting!
@@joannc147 cheers it turns out the biggest hoard off forged was 92 until my 332 came along and they are in the British Museum, I have a number of museums wanting this hoard because of the history and rarity.... fingers crossed
@@thetoffeedigger 🤞indeed! It’s worth a wee payday for your troubles!
You can also rest the coin on your finger and ping it with another coin. Gold makes a super long ping sound and if the ping is short then it is a fake.
i see a crease across the face: ~1o'clock to 7 at at 3:00 then a pimple among the reeds: at 3:13!
Wow. That is scary. Good catch on this one. I wonder what it weighed compared to the genuine example? Did it feel lighter when you held it in your hand?
It actually weighed the SAME, Sal!!
Great to see the two of you again old friend. I finally got oxygen with my torch and cup setup so I can finally melt and pour the bogus gold plated copper I damned near got taken for. Without your wisdom that experience would have been very, very, very bad for many and not just myself. Things like that sure needs to have everyone get a Sigma type verifier. Then there is that Pocket Pinger , , , OH MY. Something an ordinary person like me can afford. Truly AWESOME ! As I said before it is great to see both of you again. Take care and all the best for 2023 old friend.
So glad I could help you avoid those fake gold maple, Dean!! 😅
@@YankeeStacking What a disaster could have happened. Now that I have oxy/propane at the bench I am going to video a pour from them. As far as I can tell they are thinly plated copper. The torch will tell all eh. Thanks again bud.
On the reeded edge of the coin there is a perfect drill hole plug. Did you see that?
I may have mcducsyndrome, the frequency and resonance of an actual gold or silver coin is just so peace to me. I feel peace more so than hear it when it is pinged. Yes, I'm a VET, my mental is an issue.
Wow. The difference in the sound of real versus fake gold!
NO NOTIFICATION BUT WATCHING IT NOW!👍🇿🇦🇬🇧
Pocket pinger is a great thing to have. You can clearly hear the difference and also you can use an app to verify the sound it makes.
Thanks buddy! And I completely agree. Too bad I was using my iPhone with the app as a camera! 😆
XRF the coin to find out the content make up of the coin
XRF X ray Fluorescent , a Tester that bomards the item with electrons
Comes as a Hand held Gun type form or a desk top Analysier
It would be good to find out the composition of the Coin .
Just what I was thinking---Even though we know it is a fake now, still would be fun to know.
THAT IS SO COOL. I did know about the pocket pinger. Not saying it would be smart but gold would make one heck of a cymbol for a drum set. Thank you for this video ✌️😊
🤣🤣
glad to see another shop made a mistake, my LPS will verify everything in front of you just to double check him self even and hes had a Morgan fail that was in a tube I was buying.
3:12 What is that side anomaly on the reeded edge. Looks like a casting vent (circular protrusion).
The frequency of the 'fake' sounds very similar. Is the coin misshapen? I wonder if it doesn't lay very flat on the verifier, if that trips it.
I was amazed at the pocket pinger demonstration.
Hi Yankee... Great videos again... And where can we get the pocket pinger? Looks interesting and fun...
