Fake gold and platinum warning

Hi all,

I am apart of a couple dealer networks and there has been an increased amout of fake/counterfeit items being sold to dealers. There have been several dealers, mainly in the Midwest, that have been hit with fake stuff and lots of other reports.

Top 3 things that are being reported as faked:
#1 PAMP suisse 1 ounce platinum bars. These are in "original" packaging and look pretty legit. Thickness of bars and difference in packaging are the dead give away.

#2 NGC MS69 1 ounce AGE! I don't know much about these but the PMV will pick them up easily.

#3: NGC MS69 1 ounce gold maple leaves. I don't know much about these but the PMV will pick them up easily.


Guy saying he is from Texas has been hitting several shops in the midwest. I am sure there is plenty of other stuff going around as well.

Just a heads up to everyone!!
