♠️Counterfeit education ♠️

Counterfeits are an unfortunate part of every market that involves significant value. Keeping up on the latest counterfeit news and developments is often challenging. I am always trying to educate myself in this area. Part of my education process has been to actually buying fake/counterfeit items. I buy them knowing they are fake. Since they are fake and at times don't consist of precious metals. The items are usually cheap! Once I purchase and own an item. I am able to do a side by side comparison.

A couple weeks ago I was at a coin show talking to dealer. He had a small box labeled counterfeit. I dug through it and found some interesting items I want to share here. Both of the items below are NOT AUTHENTIC.


☝️ A fake Morgan silver dollar along with a fake $1 gold coin. Neither are of the appropriate metal. The Morgan is a tad bit smaller than it should be. It also weighs much less than it should. The $1 gold coin demonstrates a dull golden color. It is also underweight!

A new collector could take a quick look at these and assume they are authentic. This is why it's important to take your time and educate yourself. There is no such thing as a dumb question. Especially with the risks and money involved with precious metals. I encourage everyone to save these photos and use them as a reference in the future. I hope this article was helpful!
