What year were these start to circulate

Thanks man 😮
Comment from : @AdeelJamil-v4p

this counterfeit coin should be considerably thicker than a 22 K gold coin with so much copper and Gallium, it should be 20-30 thicker than 22 K gold A 1 oz gold eagle should be 29 mm thick, the fake should be over 35 mm thick, or perhaps the diameter is a bit bigger than the specified, 327 mm or some combination of diameter and thickness I have seen some Youtubers hang a coin on a piece of dental floss and weigh the coin in a container of water, this measures specific gravity this technique overcomes the inaccuracy of a cheap scale this test can be done quite cheaply

I hate theives, but that machine is outrageous one day I gotta get one for piece of mind I only buy from Apmex it's expensive, but I trust them and I only buy gold in slabs sorry brother I hate con artists and it hard to trust anyone or anything worth value!!!

Since I bought my larger sigma Machine I test all my gold ! The machine will save you from the fakes and pain of losing over $250000 think about it
Comment from : @JosephShaffer-o1o

I bet if the fake gold coin was made with gold plating it would ring
Comment from : @allsportsexpert

Oh damn I have some silver roos that thud like that
Comment from : @SuperGiantGeckosLLC

Gold is diamagetic, Tungsten paramagnetic You can hang it and test it with a strong neodym magnet
Comment from : @jurgenpommerenke8150

The fact aside that it’s a counterfeit, the ‘Eagle Family’ of older modern US gold coins is bsupposed/b to have a cartoony look, it’s the style

Comment from : @Malice_Lonewolf

It's hard to beat the sound test Simple and cheapest

Canadian maple 9999 coins can be genuine but have 0 ring brbrThe american gold ring becos they do have a small amt of silver in them
Comment from : @minutemaniii7062

Will you send me the gold wrapper that it was in
Comment from : @danieloshea3326

The only non destructive test is with Transmission X-rays spectroscopy analysis that the X rays goes thru the coin
Comment from : @chadx8269

Comment from : @krsmedley

This is one reason to not move all manufacturering over to your enemys we dont even have machines to make our bullets anymore we rely on china to make them well if we go to war with them how long will they sell them to us great strategys sounds like treason to me
Comment from : @johnlast9403

Would the fake pass the rare earth magnet test?
Comment from : @ahayahshouse5344

Ring test is my favorite in a pinch test That is also reason I only get coins or rounds faking the sound and weight and dimensions of a coin would be near impossible If they could, it would nearly cost as much as a real coin
Comment from : @musclesmouse

This fake underscores the reason why the US Mint needs to adopt better security features

Thank GOD mines did the bell sound
Comment from : @JV-km2oz

Wow nice ❤❤❤🙏
Comment from : @dalzcoins7528

always purchase from someone who's been in business a long time I like Apmex They are a good retailer and will stand behind their products
Comment from : @cocardonboarding5649

Damn!! Scammers in China are almost better than the real deal Super scary and not want to buy any gold at all these days Buy and pay the little extra and purchase from a local coin dealer Not worth the sellers and eBay headaches!!
Comment from : @gilsgriddleandgrill

Ah the tungsten filled gold eagles I hate those bastards that scam people for 2 grand when the real metal content is either steel or tungsten 😑 they should be locked up in prison for doing that shit ugh 😑🤦‍♂️
Comment from : @tinypanther3320

Please use a pencil or plastic pen to conduct the ring test Dont damage your coins by using metal or other coins
Comment from : @neemaborji9993

I was scammed by these cpoins 4 yrs ago, i bought 3 pcs (3 Troy Ounce), tested them with my XRF and was absolutely sure it's the real deal Buy looks and feeling it was also like a real for sure i was completely shocked when realizing it was tuinsten inside These are extremely well done We obviously had the same coins because my were also 481 grams real gold wrapping BTW tungsten is te only metal almost exactly same as gold density The coibns I had didn't have any rim visible with 10x magnifictation
Comment from : @DeMedellin-G5

the Ping test is superior 100
Comment from : @DeMedellin-G5

That’s Crazy, I thought it would be lead being that lead is cheaper Though tungsten is about $25-$30 per kilo and lead is around $213 per kilo It flooding the market, be careful!!
Comment from : @JayP7676

That metal is probably toxic
Comment from : @Michael-db1ce

Great info!
Comment from : @hotheadedjoelhaha

the ring is not 100 accurate but probably 999 accurate I have seen Cracked Planchettes which have no ring but are real coins The sigma pro is my favorite because it will test all the way through the coin and allow a density test as well 🔥🐉
Comment from : @SilverDragons47

You guys use to have a solid reputation but lately I’ve seen more and more bad reviews on your turn around time I had 2 experiences with you myself One was amazing One took 2 months What’s happening Dave?
Comment from : @StashTreasure

Wow that's the best fake I've ever seen! That's super scary, I wonder how many folks have these in their safes and don't even know it This is why you got to buy from reputable dealers and well known people only Thanks for the great detailed video
Comment from : @darkknightstacker5420

Yeah, I was unaware that "fakers" would actually use so much real gold in their fakes, it's kinda scary! Opened my eyes brThanks, my friend
Comment from : @SilverJoker

Great Video This is why you need to buy from a trusted dealer
Comment from : @TonyMaine915

Thank you!
Comment from : @plainboxer1

That's very concerning indeed That outer shell reminds of some fake silver Pandas we investigates years ago thay were constructed the same way
Comment from : @CyberCurtainTwitcher

I love how you use a $20 gold piece as a hammer essentially Love it man Great work
Comment from : @JuniusMaltby

Wow, thanks David
Comment from : @anthonyg3503

Thanks for the tricks David, love ping test, I don't collect coins so I'm new to this
Comment from : @RYNSULLY

Thanks for your tutorial on figuring those illegitimate coins This is very informative
Comment from : @1topskyrocket

1st time I’ve seen one like that Did you guys buy it or did you catch it beforehand? Thx David
Comment from : @sanpedrosilver

Great educational video
Comment from : @0528bella

Wow David Great video…thanks for sharing!
Comment from : @TalkingBullion

excellent info! thank you
Comment from : @AUMINER1

Pretty amazing how good the Chinese have gotten over the years dumping fake gold and silver in our country With Tungsten being so close to the SG of gold it has become a problem for those that are not experienced in identifying the fakesbr What is sad is that our Government does nothing to stop the flow into the country If an American faked one of our gold coins they would go to prison for counterfeiting brGD
Comment from : @GDSavingThePast

Oh no chocolate 🥺 between the gold foil?
Comment from : @Christophersanchez1326
