Spot the Fakes—Trust These Mints, Avoid the Scams

Yesterday, we broke down bullion vs. numismatics. Today, let’s protect your stack—because counterfeit metals are flooding the market, especially online. The good news? If you know what to look for, you can stay way ahead of the scammers.

Stick with trusted mints like the U.S. Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint, and Austrian Mint. Their coins have high security features and wide recognition. Avoid unfamiliar names, private mints with sketchy reputations, or anything from a seller that doesn’t offer full verification. Real gold should feel heavy, look sharp, and come with receipts—because once you’re burned, it’s tough to recover.

Tomorrow, we’ll explore how to test your gold and silver at home—with simple tools that anyone can use.
