Wasn't thinking about buying a gold bar but its good to know.
GoldScreenBox is basically a copy of the Sigma Metalytics, just without the Thru capability that the Pro offers. So the Sigma is the better of the two options.
There's more fine details on the fake bar, which seems really strange to me- maybe so that the assumption that the detailed one must be the real one traps more people
Could you use a multimeter and test the resistance across the bar? It would require removal from the packaging but I suppose it would work
So from what I gather from the vid, an XRF machine is defeated by a heavily plated (gold folded) fake bar ?
where can I purchase the gold screen box tester? Thx!!!
wth that's scummy stuff, law enforcement should be on that like white on rice!
"Precious Metals" EASY to BUY, Where you gonna SELL it. What assay problems you gonna have? In times of trouble, do you really think you can sell? It is difficult enough to sell during "Good Times". You cannot open the pre-packaged packs? Weight the bars? Balance beam the bars?
Dumb question: Can’t you just test it with a measuring cup and a scale?
If they use tungsten for the core or lead they can get the bar dimensions and weight almost perfect
Those who buy from bank, should they still worry if it is real or fake ???
A lesson for elementary school,easy ro know gold is real or not,use h2so4
Reminds me of when I became an expert on counterfeit Montblanc pens after I got ripped off.
Ive heard china is making fake gold bars from tungsten with a thick gold plating that will pass all the non destructive tests. Only way to know for sure is to cut in half or drill. Most people that have these will never know.
Be nice to figure out before you purchase it.
Great info.
I have one bar pamp suisse dont have serial no on back side.
Brought from reputed jeweler.
Surely anyone buying gold bars will only do so from certified listed dealer of gold.
Image looked bigger on the fake too
does the machines work on jewelries too ??
