How can u tell a fake graded slabbed coin that is inside a holder?

I have one weighing 2663g is this fake
Comment from : @JudyPratt-g3h

I think I understood Chris to say that each coin may be slightly different when weighed? As for a Silver Eagle 31101 gm is the minimum guarantee

You can test silver bars by weighing it on the scale, specific gravity testing (dipping it in water), testing for magnetism, testing for diamagnetic properties (slide a magnet down the bar at a 45 degree angle and watch for resistance to motion), and testing it on a precious metal verifier

Excuse me, why do we have to buy physical silver, it has a high premium and is heavy, and when we really want to use it, we still have to convert it into currency

How about faked Britannia with the new holographic? I am really liking those coins for security and price

Yeah, ebay can be an issue I was looking on one of the well known sites, can't remember which one, and they wanted what looked like an ASE for $23 That didn't seem right They used some strange language in reference to the coin It was a fake A person new to stacking may have fallen for it To me they were deceptive

I drag a magnet across coins first and foremost to catch a fake
Comment from : @joecitizen7911

Beware all Some fakes will not stick to a magnet USE , MAGNET TEST, USE SCALE TEST, AND PING TEST If it passes all 3 It's should be real, but not 100 To be close to 100 buy from a good coin shop or a bullion dealer Like what we talk about
