It looks like some fake Sunshine Mint bars and Canadian Maple Leafs have made their way into the physical silver market. Here’s a backyard way to find out if your silver is in fact silver! [Warning: Use goggles and protective gear, this isn’t meant to keep your silver in pristine condition]
Happy buying and keep a close eye,
Megan
p.s. If you haven’t read Peter Schiff’s full report on Gold Scams, now is the time.
This video left me with a few questions.
How many of these fakes are out there? Is it just a few?
How easy are they to detect? Are they off on weight? Is a destructive test really required for these?
Sunshine must be selling a lot of these to make it worth the effort to counterfeit.
