<p>[QUOTE=&quot;julius, post: 1463940, member: 38622&quot;]Hello everyone. I am looking for tips on how to detect fake ASE and AGE coins. I&#039;m looking to get into bullion more in the future and want to protect my investment. I have 1 gold eagle I got from the LCS. It is not slabbed (but from what I gather, slabs are counterfeited too). It has the nice high pitched &quot;ting&quot; when you hit it with another coin. Weight is 34gms. Detail looks good and matches up to pictures I find online. The silver eagles I have are similar; they have their own pitched &quot;ting&quot; which seems to be consistent, nice edges, and weight is good. </p><p><br /></p><p>What else should I be looking for? I don&#039;t want to risk thousands on an investment if I can&#039;t verify that it is 100% real. I have a nitric acid test kit but don&#039;t want to ruin the silver eagles with it, maybe on the edge it could be ok?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On a separate note, big banks and governments that keep gold and silver in reserve have to worry about this if I do. How do they know this stuff is real? Is a credit suisse bar in assay better than a loose AGE because of the assay?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
