😅chinny-chin-chin😂brI love the store about the OMEGAMAN COUNTERFEITS AND THE GUY WHO WORKED AT THE US MINT

For me the "raised bumps" are dead give away signal that the coin is fake
Comment from : @aetnat0k1y0

Major red flag: There is little to no chance a coin of that year and condition isn’t certified and the previous owner would intentionally give up hundreds or thousand worth of value by not having it graded 🤦🏻

I didn't see anything here that was definitive "softness" on genuine coins can be caused by worn dies

Ben: how did you come by these coins? Just curious

Comment from : @frankchase9297

ANACS will slab counterfeit coins, or at least they use to It kind of looks pretty cool
Comment from : @derinc8970

Thanks Ben another good teaching video Just saying Mike
Comment from : @mikefisher5940

Ben, I believe the difference between a contact mark and the depressions you were noting is that contact marks will typically show some displaced metal, unless the coin was circulated a lot after the contact mark was made, wearing down the raised metal Those depressions look like flaws in the die or the mold, whatever was used to make the fake brbrOh, you didn't comment on the weight of these coins versus what the weights are of the real ones How do they weigh?
Comment from : @JohnD357

Scary If I would have seen these at an auction I would have been fooled
Comment from : @rbartig

I've seen counterfeit 2 ½ Dollar gold pieces with the same lack of sharpness In my personal experience the gold Indians are always more difficult to detect than the gold Libertys Thanks for sharing those!
Comment from : @TheQuickSilver101

Excellent!
Comment from : @WondyCoin

The weight of the coins accurate? That’s a dead giveaway
Comment from : @fixedgearfever69

Hi, Ben The 1895 is a deceptively good fake The 1911 Indian looks good also SOBs Did they test out as the proper weight and gold content? Good luck with the certification on the Indian bTYU/b
Comment from : @donaldinnewmexico

Interesting to see What are the weights and did you test them for purity? The older I get the more I have really gone away from raw coins as I can't always trust my eyes to see the problems
Comment from : @kevinpoggensee3044

Cool and educational video
Comment from : @garethbates5044

Definitely takes a trained eye to detect the signs of fakeness on these…
Comment from : @jorgenrexolson6451

XRF the gold purity, most of the fakes are either under but more commonly over pure
Comment from : @garrycroft4215

Buying gold coins raw still makes me a bit nervous I just haven't handled enough to notice some of the signs that stand out
Comment from : @taylorism5613

It Would have been useful to know the weight of them all, besides the features you highlighted Also, if you are sending them off to NGC or PCGS to see if they are counterfeit, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the video I'm somewhat confused here I would think you had a sigma as well What did that indicate?
