<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DW-coins, post: 1317231, member: 33380&quot;]Nope, sorry, your logic is faulty because the only material in the universe that will have the exact dimensions as an ASE AND will weight out at 1 troy oz would have to be made of silver, so the best a counterfeiter could do is cash in on the premium, not much incentive there, especially after to take into account the expenses of preparing dies and punching out the planchets, etc. However, to fake non-standard silver bullion would be much more lucrative because all you have to do is make it weigh 1 troy oz. Any material can be made to weigh out at an oz, no material other than silver can weight out AND maintain the same dimensions of an ASE. </p><p>The bottom line is this - ASE&#039;s come with a premium for a very good reason and since you get that premium back when you sell them, there&#039;s no reason to buy anything else. In my book the ASE&#039;s are the best and most prudent vehicle for speculating in physical silver. Bars and rounds are far more prone to counterfeiting and in the long run represent a greater risk than do ASE&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
