Fake gold and silver all over the place

[Bushwick100]

Ebay had a coin for sale and the same coin was tested in Ohio, it was fake.

Alibaba sells the fakes with the same slab numbers 4387420-073 etc etc etc

watch out for those 13k, 16 or 17k Gold it's not worth much.

Looks like its just a little magnetic, just like high nickel stainless and pure nickel. Do you happen to have a fake a fella could buy for testing purposes?

order is on alibaba or dhgate

This makes more sense than using chemical test, I wish someone made these.

$20 worth of magnets from amazon or ebay, a paint stir stick and some glue and you have one. That is how I made one.

Fakes are everywhere, even on ODT. I got some fake silver eagles here in trade. That ended interest in PMs, not worth having to pay for an assay of every coin I buy.

I traded with five different members before I found out, and by then the coins were comingled, else I would have contacted the SS.

I don't understand... all of my fake 2013 Canadian $5 silver maple pieces are very magnetic. Who knew??????????
Yes, those are magnets holding on through the plastic display cases. I bought these off eBay to try and stop a scam. A seller was advertising them as real silver and I knew they were fake. I purchased, had them shipped (from China), somehow made it through customs (as flashlight bulbs), then contacted eBay. They didn't care, but I got a full refund and a collection of fake coins. To the untrained eye, these could probably pass for the real deal. I don't know about the slide test but they are strongly magnetic.

They definitely would act differently with real coins on the slide. Probably just stop and stick when silver slides down slowly.
