      Hi, thank you for watching. Silver bars and rounds come with many finishes. This one happens to have a "proof-like" finish. But real ones come like that. I buy 100+ 10 ozt. bars a month and I get everything, the key is testing it all even though it looks good(or bad). Thank you...

      Thank you for watching. I'm not sure where you saw that but it was obvious when it was tested. When it came into the Shop it looked real. Our good client explained it, my daughter tested it. By looking at it, its definitely NOT obvious. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Doing another "Fake" item video, check it out.
      Lesson is, be careful when buying, buy from a trusted dealer.
      Thank you...

      Thank you for watching and your feedback. When the customer brought it in Alexandrea tested it with a magnet after she knew it wasn't real. Actually we never use a magnet, mostly the Sigma and weigh it. But the customer only paid $150 and suspected it was fake, it was, then he donated it to my daughter's shop.
      Always be careful, soooo many good fakes.

    This is the first time that I have seen a Sigma. Interesting.
    Is that Champion Safe in the corner the Triumph Series? Mine is even the same color. I received most of my safe education AFTER my purchase and though the Champion is definitely better than many "safes" out there, it still is fairly dismal for break-in and fire protection. Have you ever watched any test videos of the Sturdy Safe Company? Pretty impressive! Hopefully I'll have one someday.
    Thanks for the educational video.

    Got a theory .. fake bars outnumber real bars. Throw it at a table or drop it the fake ones sound fake because harmonics it's made from 2 different metals. Silver thick enough to pass most tests but with a tungsten core

      @@johnz-man4754 it should ring different through the plastic as long as it's a bag or pouch piece of duct tape and a rubber mallet. Hang it on the tape strip and try to play it like a xylophone .. they're coated thick enough for a scratch test or acid test or most older tests to pass it but when struck it sounds wrong I used to work in a jewelry making shop .. they've been faking silver bars for a long time . They got a little better at faking them nowadays but you can still tell they're fakes if you know what you're doing. I won't buy a bar I can't ring like a bell first .

      Hi again, thank you for your comment. Yes, the Sigma is very expensive, between $1,000 and $1,250. So not everyone can afford it or want to spend that kind of money.
      I can also understand not wanting to rely on others, but need to trust someone at some point. But I get it. Just find 1 or 2 dealers you can trust and it will go a long way. Thank you again, have a great day...

      I like how your acting like you don't want to trust someone else to see if your silver is OK. Yet unless you hunt and garden and only eat your own food your trusting far more in life. I could go on. Buy a car, buy a house. You trust other people telling you it's ok

      @@user-pj6bl5md5r, thank you for your comment. Of course in life you have to trust others. But also you can get burned by that trust. Good restaurants put out bad food and so on. Its called human error or mistakes. I trust my mechanic on my car, but I also get a second opinion. But through life we build relationships with many professionals and usually go to them with a higher degree of trust.
      When it comes to buying gold, silver, coins, etc., trust only goes so far. As a buyer I have to check EVERYTHING that comes in. I see hundreds of fake coins, silver bars etc. every year. And as a collector, they need to be very careful, lots of people trying to cheat them. So I believe they need to build a relationship and trust with who they buy from, whomever it is. Or, test it all to cover that risk.

      @@Co-ClownWorld, agreed. Most dealers go somewhat on a trust system. If you bought a coin from us(Z-man's Rare Coins) and then returned it, we would know its appropriate value and based on sale frice know if the customer is being honest with us. Also, we believe in customer service, so not going to argue over a few bucks. If we give someone their money back, we will resell the item and get our money back and extra. Only thing with no refund is Bullion. Market fluctuations make it impossible. But we will buy it at current pricing.
      Hope that helped. Happy 4th of July...
