Unfortunately, I think some fakes are also gold... especially higher grade / rare date stuff. I'm not really a numismatic collector, but I do appreciate the "art" of some coins... hence I'll pick up common date / non-slabbed stuff for closer to melt. If I happen to have one that is gold and also passes my visual/weight tests, but it happens to be fake, I won't lose any sleep over it.jjttdw wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 3:47 pmI have a $2.5 Indian. I'm assuming the fakes aren't real gold, right?kcn0 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 4:12 pmIt has pre-sets for certain coins, metals, and purity, so you toggle through to the correct one and check to see if the coin/bar is within the appropriate range. Once I started purchasing some highly counterfeited coins, such as $2.5 Indians, I thought it was worth the investment.
EDIT: I also love some in-and-out, but don't live anywhere near one.
