I usually take my Sigma with me when I go coin hunting Had a few booths try and tell me I can't test what they were selling so I make examples put of them so hopefully they never return

What about a simple magnet???? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Comment from : @nealb8893

1:21 if those fake coins respond to a magnet they are typically used for magic tricks I bought 10 for magic trick purposes The seller I bought them from made it clear they were fake So he was being honest and only charged me like $900 They look real but a magnet shows it is fake

#1 or #5 ?
Comment from : @brianshanahan3878

Pretty easy to pick #4, though #3 was different than the others, but still not right Wish I could hear They make them look worn and a bit dirty, but too "perfect" with no scratches, nicks or dings which is a quick give away

Comment from : @MrReymoclif714

I'm pointing to #4, even know this video is kind of old, it just came in to watch Not too much to say but, i learned this from another video It was the 6 points stars and 5 points stars that make me do my decisionbrUpdate:→ Keep watching and it was the real one Plus i support the comments of others that the magnet, weight and shape, are the good starter to identify good coins over bad ones Only 5 point stars in the good coinsbrmix-up points stars coins ❌br6 points stars coins ❌brEasy to check for that 5 points ⭐ just to start and after that, magnets, weight them, shape test, you name it, various ways to find out, but still, a professional knows better 🤣💦 not cheap

Any coin you buy is most likely fake Pretty easy
Comment from : @RP-dv3pw

Thank you
Comment from : @DrewVerdin

Any time you buy coins at a flea market, you can bet it is probably fake It is best to always invest in any coin from an actual coin dealer Mine knows me and gives me a deal when I buy certain coins Visually looking doesn't cut it Anything can be faked now days

The 1889 looks real to me #5
Comment from : @maggiesdad100

They sell them on TEMU You just said you can tell by just looking at them? Bull crap My little nephew gave me two of them and I took them to a friend of mine who works at a coin dealer shop I said to him as I handed them to him " tell me which one is real, and which one is fake, without doing a magnetic test" He handed one back and said this is the fake, and held the other one and said this is the real one I replied to him "nope"!! "Their both fake"!! The look on his face was unforgettable! I let him keep them in order bust the frauds Dude, you can't tell by just looking at them, no freaking way China is making these, and they look and weigh the same
Comment from : @hanklove3294

cool, there are people who make rings from old coinage
Comment from : @gordondeitz7838

A lot of people have silver and gold coins and never know they are fake just passed up 6 Carson cities that were fake but somebody bought them they are the most counterfeited coin in the US
Comment from : @HeatherMizzell

I use a small magnet a scale a pinger and a set of calibers very hard to fool me and thinking of buying a electronic machine the Chinese are sending silver eagles in by the bucket loads buy all you want for around 15 or 20 dollars be aware!

Comment from : @alanchelnick8148

Any idea when these fakes were created? Fakes from 1880 California or fakes from china 2 years ago?
Comment from : @DonkeyHotey-l2e

They are counterfeit US coins, regardless The patina is a giveaway
Comment from : @QbutNotTheQ

They all look sus
Comment from : @QbutNotTheQ

So why does the federal government allow the importation & sale of counterfeit currency? They seem to really pick and choose which laws to enforce and who they enforce them against
Comment from : @Walter-wo5sz

These can be purchased from Temu so be very, very careful

I'm gonna take a while guess and say that the 1894 is the real one Let's find outbrbrYup, I was wrong I actually bought a few of these fake Morgan dollar coins a few weeks ago online, thinking they were real These websites with a bunch of random jumbled letters just include on their home page that they're authorized by the US government, and they even include the logo of the US Mint to trick people I took the coins to a shop that buys and sells gold and silver when I was concerned about the weight of the coins, and they used some XRF gun to measure the metal content They ended up being 5691 copper, 3466 zinc, 5/78 nickel, 123 silver, 066 lead, 0445 iron, and 02 tin I disputed the charge and reported the business to the FTC, now just waiting for my credit card company to return the funds to me I'm also wondering if I should make a report with US Customs and Border Protection since the order shipped with a Chinese logistics company, Yanwen

Knew it was 5 My method- look at the word 'states' on the coinbrThe real one has a nice, aligned circular angle of the lettersbrIf you go back and look 1:38 the word "states' looks wonky and misaligned on it seems all the fakes made
Comment from : @MikeBarbarossa

You can find good deals if you search hard enough I did score a real 1889 Morgan part of a bezel for $5 Scammers try to put sky high prices all the time Recently a guy tried offering a common circulated 1936 Walker in one of those cheap looking Americana sets He wanted $20 and i said $8 and he got irate 😂
