Spotting Fake Gold & Silver Online - Low Price is Your First Clue!

Описание: With the rise in the prices of silver and gold, fake coins and bars are becoming more common — especially on the secondary market. In this video, I explain how to spot fake silver before you buy, using common sense checks, real-world examples, and lessons learned from experience.

If you’re new to buying bullion, I strongly recommend starting with reputable bullion dealers so you can confidently learn what genuine silver looks and feels like. For more experienced stackers hunting for better deals on the secondary market, this video will help you stay informed, safe, and avoid costly mistakes.

In the linked full length video, I cover:

Why “too good to be true” prices are always a red flag
The importance of knowing the current spot price of silver and gold
How premiums work on gold vs silver (including UK VAT)
How scammers use misleading titles, photos, and categories
Why you must always read the full description
What verification evidence to look for (weight, dimensions, testing)
How to analyse listing photos for bait-and-switch scams
How to research bullion designs so you can spot fakes visually
Why knowing the seller is just as important as knowing the coin

This video focuses mainly on silver, but the same principles apply when buying gold bullion.
