    Yes, the thickness test is the easiest way to tell these apart. I saved my LCS thousands of dollars on gold when I saw these come in randomly one time. One was a Pamp Suisse one too. Sadly, they would not let me borrow to bars to make a video. Great job showing these and educating the public my friend.

    You can buy those fake Perth ounce bars for $5 on Wish from a bunch of sellers. They're sold as gifts, souvenirs, toys, essentially as stage props, like a fake skull for a Macbeth play at your local community playhouse.

    Also the numbers aren't dotted on the original. I've also noticed the font on the face of the bar with the bird on the fake is thicker usually if that makes sense. Most of the fakes I saw were copper with gold plate. I would even suggest testing copper if gold doesn't work on the machine.

  • @stormforge68
    @stormforge68 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for sharing Speg, very informative. Always good to know and be up to date on the improvements counterfeiters do to make a fake bar realistic.
    On a side note, I recently picked up a GVS Bullion Tester to backup and confirm any test results from my primary tester, a Sigma Pro Mini. The primary reason I got the GVS machine is that It works like the Sigma, it tests through the packaging. But instead of testing for resistivity/conductivity of a metal, it checks the metal’s magnetism to determine authenticity.

    I can give you a heads up, unfortunately, the first gold bar i ever bought outside of a local LCS/dealer was one of these. i had 2 different shops test it, it was 95.2% CU and there was trace amounts of AG,AU,ZN and NI.

Thankfully, the guy who sold it was an honorable sort and didnt bug off when confronted, he promptly refunded my money for an exchange, but scariest moment of my life was when i saw that it was fake.

    They usually use copper, nickle, zink alloy to make the fakes, but this one is not even the best fake I've seen. I have seen ones made from tungsten which has a density very similar to gold both are 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. And then they coat that with gold. So it will look just like a hold bar have same dimensions and weight. But tungsten is not cheap either so only real "committed" forgeries use it.

    • @ryanpenner9950

      Tungsten can show up with magnet tests and is amateur hour these days with counterfeits.
      “ Paramagnetism is where certain materials are attracted to an external field but will not be permanently magnetized. Tungsten is as example of paramagnetic material with a strong positive magnetic susceptibility of 8.44. Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic flux in the opposite direction of an applied magnetic field. Diamagnetic materials are repulsed by magnetic fields. Diamagnetic force is the opposite of paramagnetic force and has a negative value. Examples of paramagnetic metals are gold (-3.44) and silver (-2.38)”

    If the only option is buying from trusted sources.....then why would I buy it? Im not a trusted source so how do I sell it for top dollar? Simple, I dont. If I resell it I get shafted for the premium, plus whatever the LCS wants to burn me for. Dont buy gold if its not a coin, is the only option i see,.

      One of my local places won’t pay for this stuff until it comes back from being fire assayed.

    imagine... detecting a fake 1 oz gold will pay off the sigma tester... And just imagine again... after 10 years, one brings his stack of gold bars to the LCS... only hearing from them : "Sir, so sorry all your stack of gold bars are fake..."

    It makes you wonder if the country of origin has anything to do with this??? Mom and pop shops can’t make them look this good.

    💙 it might be interesting to see what happens if you melt it.. then pour it and see if is still resembles gold ? .. 🤔 just a thought. Another well done video Speg! 👍

      I dare not melt fake bars. No telling what is in them that could be released into my lungs. I highly don’t recommend doing that.

    I just got two of those and they were fake. Exact same one. The kangaroos were off and the packaging was off to. The weight of mine was 12.00 grams when a legit one is over 15.00 grams.

    It's not to difficult to fake the card , only buy from reputable dealers never off eBay 👍

    I would just never buy perth mint bars. If they do not make them safer, I just buy something else.

    Why don't people just stick with recognized bullion coins? These "bars" seem rather pointless.
