<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1575567, member: 26302&quot;]Don&#039;t forget tungsten is not very easy to get a hold of anyway, besides being kind of pricey.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now, as an educated consumer, I know small gold and PT is not really a concern. I do not worry about those purchases. Silver, however, since its cheap and easy to fake SG tests, and new fakes like &quot;circulated&quot; WL halves have hit the market, along with much better bullion coin fakes, I am leery of. I usually buy junk silver that there is no reported Chinese fakes of, and pay attention even then. This is from a guy who literally has had thousands of WL halves go through his hands. I very easily could see in a year or two some major exposes about what jjack is talking about, and it putting cold water on retail bullion demand. How many people need to find out the &quot;silver&quot; they bought is worthless junk before it affects the market? IDK, but don&#039;t think anyone else does either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Juan, I know you are against overreacting to &quot;tungsten gold bars&quot; and in that I agree. I do believe, however, the issue is more severe today with silver than you have heard about. At least once a year there are stories from major conventions where dealers talk about new, better quality fake silver bullion products hitting the market. Every time even experienced dealers are found out to be holding some unknowningly. Because silver is so easy and cheap to fake SG with, I believe we will be seeing an explosion of increasingly better and better fakes. There are already a whole slew of coins like Trade dollars, pillar dollars, and other series I would never DREAM of suggesting someone who is not an expert in them buy them unslabbed. Just wait until this same advice applies to washington quarters, mercury dimes, and American Silver Eagles. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
