Investing In A Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier!!

- In my opinion, every serious precious metals stacker should own a verifier or have access to one to ensure their stacks are 100% real and authentic. With so many fakes and scam artists, you can never be too sure. Although nothing in life is 100% certain, aside from taxes and death, this is the closest thing to it.

Very smart of you to do that . Many in the community don’t want to drop the money on a sigma but I don’t think you should be stacking weight if you cant afford/ or want to protect your metals . Sigma and a Tl-15-TL-30 safe is a must!
Thanks brother, I had to! Something I didn't mention... that first and only fake I ever bought was from my own damn LCS (that I no longer shop at). I knew at that point, I had to protect my investments! Thanks for the comment and feedback brother!
@@S.G.T.Stacking wow that’s crazy 🙁but smart move I would of stopped going to that LCS too haha Anytime bro 😎👊🏻 have fun with that sigma, honestly one of my best investments 👍🏻
A must have, no doubt. Very pricey though. In my wishlist for the longest time.Thanks for showcasing it. Good stuff!
Same here brother, took me a minute to save enough. I appreciate you stopping by! 👊
It's nice to be able to test your metals at home and for peace of mind too. But the investment is still substantial.
Absolutely, it is substantial but eventually it will pay for itself. Thanks for stopping by my friend!
Thanks for showing and testing all the different pieces, SGT! The sigma is on my list to get very soon. 👊
Thanks brother, just trying to help out other stackers. I appreciate you stopping by Mellow!
I want to try to find one of those 2nd hand for a good deal..Even though I buy from only trusted sellers, still more piece of mind. I Would want the 3rd generation because the base models can be fooled by thick gold plate. But these are just another tool to test. Gold is hard to replicate and pass all tests like weight, volume. Specific gravity, ping and sigma
That's a good point bro! That's exactly why we can't just depend on one single test. We have to use all the different types of tools we have at our disposal to weed out the fakes! Thanks for stopping by my friend!
So let me get this straight .. stackers put up with:
1. Buying with ridiculous premiums
2. Selling for below spot
3. Paying thousands for devices to validate their sellers stuff for them.
You might be new to the concept of stacking, so let me break it down for ya lol
1. You can buy whatever your heart desires, it's your money... if buffalo's is all you want to stack, by all means.
2. I don't sell jack without a purpose and it's never below melt value.
3. I paid under $1k for my Sigma and did it for the reasons I explained in the video. Gaining a seller's trust is just a plus.
Anything else you'd like to ask, let me know buddy.
Great video, liked and subbed. Love love love my Sigma. Best investment ever as far as Im concerned. Like you said, catch one fake gold coin and its paid for!
Thank you very much for your support my friend! I'm glad to find more like-minded individuals. I see you got plenty of content yourself, about to go check it out. Just subbed!
Great video SGT! You did a great job explaining different ways to test your treasures. I need to get an earth magnet and a pinger. On my to do list. You are amazing. Great video! 💙🤙🏻
Thank you very much Janice, I did my best lol. I appreciate you dropping in and leaving some feedback!
Very helpful video for new stackers! Keep up the good work!
Thank you my friend! I appreciate the feedback and support!
I've been meaning to get a Sigma for a long time now.
They come in handy for sure brother! Whenever you're ready, I left a link in the description where you can start searching for one. Never pay full retail, there's always deal to be made.
I got mine on Monday 😁 So far all is good!! I believe it’s worth the investment
Heck yeah! Congrats Jennifer! 👏
@@S.G.T.Stacking Crisis over 😂 Thankfully
I can't afford to get a expensive machine like that. Maybe someday but not anytime soon unfortunately
Its hard to drop a grand on a machine. Takes alot of potentially profit away..
Most LCS will let you come in and test all you want, so if you have anything you question, just do that
@@HDDynalowrider hey thanks for that!
HD is definitely right about that. I utilized my LCS to test some of my stack for quite some time. If you could just put away $75-$100 a month, you'll be able to get it within a year. Thanks for stopping by my friend!
Ting sound, gravity, magnet, weight, dimensions, analytics, acid testing. 7/7
Thank you very much for your input my friend! All great options to test... although I wouldn't perform the acid test on numismatic coins or most bullion.... I would imagine the numismatic value and premiums would go down the crapper with scratches on the coins.
And I only stuck I don't sell I don't need to I'm stuck in that for my daughter when she grow up I don't care if the girl goes down or up doesn't matter to me I saving that for my daughter when she grow up and I just got my machine my signal and like I say you can't with the three wires brand new in the case I pay $1,100 that's nothing for me but it's a good machine because my dealer got it and he says buy one of these so I just bought it
Very informative video 👍😊.
Thank you my friend!
I have the sigma mini, which does more upgraded model. Using it with a scale and testing Au, Ag, Pt and Pd it’s bang on, but you need to know how the unit works and focus on the numerical resistivity readouts and not the ranges etc. Sigma + scale + measurement checks on sigma mini allow you to verify resistivity & density. Fakes can only get one of those right.
Great information my friend! Thank you for your input! I plan on upgrading in the future, might check out that mini instead of the pro.
Thanks for showing this! I didn't know about it. Very cool!
Any time my friend, I appreciate you stopping by!
Congratulations on the Sigma!!!
Thank you my friend, really happy with the purchase!
I just buy that one and it's good for me because it came with the three wires brand new and its case and I don't got no 90% silver everything I got is pure silver or pure gold that's what I stuck
That's awesome, great stacking strategy. Can't go wrong with pure silver/gold!
@@S.G.T.Stacking I like your channel I'll follow you I got money so you know that's my thinking by define bye bye I buy 2 oz every month and pure gold and silver and that's for my daughter you know I'm a stalker that's what I do you know I got almost 50 oz and I start doing this 2 months ago and I got more than 100 oz of American eagle and silver pure silver so that's my thinking you know I'm 55 years old so I got to do something for my daughter beside my life insurance you know I love your channel I love your videos and that just me you know people might say that you know I shouldn't do that but that's me I don't care that's my money thank you for responding me and I like the channel keep doing those videos so educate people
@324amgela thank you so much for your kind words. What you are doing for your daughter, is a great thing! I appreciate the encouragement, I will do my best to do more educational videos in the near future.
I bought me a sigma pro larger one , well worth it !!
That's awesome, great investment!! I'll definitely be upgrading soon. I'm leaning more toward the new "Investor" by Sigma. Thanks for your input, much appreciated my friend!
Great video The Sigma is a smart thing to have
For sure! I love it! Thanks for dropping in my friend!
Ive got a sigma ordered and when it comes, if it dont know the difference between clad, im thinking of just flipping it. I didnt know it couldnt tell difference in clad, im very disappointed and it hasnt even arrived yet.
Yeah, that caught me off guard but the Sigma Basic is still a great tool for testing bullion. For now, I'll just use my precise balance and ping tester for 90% Silver coins.
As a caveat, I have several fake pieces that will test good on this machine. They are thick plated items, odd alloys that somehow come up good. This machine should be used in conjunction with testing physical dimensions and specific gravity. I always tell customers this will find fake items, BUT it will not find genuine ones every time.
That's right, it's just an extra layer of security. Like I explained in the video, I use calibrated equipment like calipers and scales to find the dimensions and specs of every single coin I buy. Thank you for your input my friend!
Best investment ever
Absolutely! Can never be too sure!
Awesome video my friend thanks for Sharing
Thanks for dropping in brother!
Great investment my friend 😎🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks bro! I'm trying to be like my boy MLZB! 😉 LETSSS GOOO!!! Always legit!
Would love to have a Sigma, great pickup SGT! Got the pocket pinger (Glock 19, gen5), rare Earth magnet (born with it, ask the ladies...), just need the Sigma. Cheers brother, great video!
🤣 I got that pocket pinger too... Gen 4 but still got a nice ring to it lol. I appreciate you stopping by brother and thank you for the feedback!
@@S.G.T.Stacking yhea, I like the idea of the finger curves in the 4, just didn't line up comfortable with my sausage fingers. However, fit perfect for my brother, so I just gave it to him as a gift. Love the action of the 5, must have put over 1,000 rounds down range with that bad boy this summer. Smooth and solid!👊👊🔥#FREEDOM
@@voteforpedro8944 Sounds like we need to meet up for a range day brother 😂💪🇺🇲
How long have you owned the machine?
On my wish list !
Right on brother, be sure to look for promos prior to pulling the trigger on full retail. I left a link to AG Bullion LLC (where I bought mine from) in the description. I'm sure they will have a promo going whenever you are ready to buy one.
@@S.G.T.Stacking Thank you!
Several of my stacker friends and I chipped in and got a Sigma. Nobody owns it but we're all welcome to use it whenever we want. We just pass it around to whomever needs it at the time.
I used it to test some silver bars I purchased back in 2014. The bars are Scottsdale 1 ounce silver bars. The bars test good on the side with the lion. On the backside the bars test bad. The indicator is slightly out of the brackets. The backside has a pattern that does not allow much surface area contact with the probe. Could this be the problem?
Can a bar test legit on one side but not the other and still be good? The bars all pas the weight test and magnet test but fail the Sigma test on one side. Should I be worried? What else can I do?
That is such a smart idea!! If I had stacker friends around me, I would have done the same.
From my experience, there are some things the Sigma will have trouble picking up on. One being heavily toned pieces. Another would be any high relief coins or bars.
The first thing I would do after testing it directly on the Sigma is use the small wand or even the large one but it sounds like you already did that. Next, take a rare earth magnet to it, if it sticks... it's definitely a fake. You've already weighed it, so you're good there. If you have a ping tester (I would definitely pick one up if you don’t have one already, they cost like $25), these bars should work on it. Compare the sound to a known legit bar with roughly the same specifications as far as weight and dimensions go. Another thing you can do is, a specific gravity test. Precious metals all have a their own specific gravity and unless you have the Sigma pro or promini, that can't be tested on it. So what you can do is a water displacement test. Silver Dragons did a great video a few years back. I'll post a link for his video below but basically you'll just need a beaker, and a scale with a resolution of at least 10 mg.
th-cam.com/video/ES7u-F29rqM/w-d-xo.html (Silver Dragons Video)
The Last thing I would do if I still could not rule it out, is take a few of them to an LCS. Some LCS's (mainly the big ones) will have an XRF machine/handheld that will read through the bar and will even give you a percentage of how much of what metals the bar is composed of.
Hope this helps out a little. It sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck my friend and thanks for stopping by!
I was going to ask you the same thing but now that you bring it up, here's my response to that:
You're right, I misspoke when I said it test though the metal however, it is definitely a reliable test giving you a percentage breakdown of every type of metal within a coin/bar. These are nothing like the PMVs because they use X-rays to interact with the electrons of an atom and in the process releasing X-ray Fluorescent photon which is unique for each element. A PMV is only testing resistivity or specific gravity.
I saw you suggested a different type of tester for a few hundred, what was the name of that?
@ptaeiy I'm not home at the moment so I can't check. I think it is the Basic model because it only has 2 wands and was a little cheaper than the next model.
good tool to own
Absolutely 💯! Thanks for stopping by brother!
Excuse me what's the weight of the machine the precious metal verified thank you and nice video
Hey Noe, I'm not sure the exact weight, I can check when I get home but it's SUPER light... my guess is maybe half a pound.
I don’t really need one my friend 👌👍😊.
Lol thanks for commenting anyway David! Are you a stacker?
Well,I’m a Stacker on a small scale. I only buy from trusted sources. Constitutional is pretty safe, but Morgan Dollars are counterfeited regularly in China. I don’t have the money to buy the expensive coins.
@@davidcarlisle3384 Yeah, definitely have to look out for those fake Morgans! Sounds like you have a pretty good strategy in place!
My dealer has a bar which passed the mini sigma...it did not pass the density test so not 100% accurate unfortunately
Definitely not 100% accurate, but still a great tool to have. What type of bar was it? I'm curious.
@@S.G.T.Stacking I did not ask. But he sent hhe client away and did not buy. ( client had 4 ) I was actually shocked as I thought 100% accurate. He said that if its thick plated the sigma gets fooled. the bar weighed 35 grams.
@rumcoke9123 Lots of fake crap out there... thats why I weigh everything, check with earth magnets, check the diameter and thicknesses if specs are known.
The original sigma only does surface ecm test. It's perfect for coins, maybe not the new chunky ones. The pro version will do a through ecm test to test thicker bars.
An alloy can be made to fool an ecm test. So you need at least a specific density test in conjunction, a pain if the metal is encased in plastic. An XRF can detect alloy but may not detect an insert like gold over tungsten. A magnetic weight test can detect insert anomaly (by checking if the test object is attracted or repelled, detected by weight changes, by a very strong magnet).
@@rumcoke9123Fakes can be made to yield the same ecm test result as the genuine one. But they cannot be made to pass every tests. So different tests are required to catch them.
Come to my next auction let’s get you to 1k
Thanks bro, I appreciate that! 🙏
😪 "promo sm"
I've got a free coin-pinger app on my phone.
I have the same app on mine too! Good on you my friend for taking that step! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by!
