RE: Diversify! Don't Buy Fake Gold and Silver – Part 2
Good advice on diversification within the stack! I'm with you on avoiding pieces that have known counterfeits. It's all about the market confidence, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing with us!
Yeah, it's funny. I just unwrapped a 10 oz silver prospector bar from Silvertowne yesterday, the first of this kind for me. I know that the 1 oz bars have been faked, but haven't seen anything about the 10 oz. My only problem with the piece is that the prospector and donkey in the circle has a sandblast finish to it, whereas all the pictures I see on the internet have a shiny finish. The engraving is high quality, but now I need to chase down more information about this type of bar.
Please keep us posted with that and any other fakes that you know about! The more information we have the better choices we can make in the future 👍
