- How does the Fisch Fake Coin Identification Gauge work?
The Fisch checks the size and weight of the coin, medallion or bar. A common metal fake will be under weight if it is the correct size. If it is the correct weight, it will be over size. See Why the Fisch Works
Metals with a density comparable to gold that could be used to make a fake coin correct in both weight and size are the platinum group metals and tungsten. The price of the platinum group metals precludes their use. Tungsten is an extremely hard, yet brittle metal that would be very difficult to work into a passable fake coin. The talk of tungsten fake bullion coins and small 1oz. bars has been around for at least 30 years now. But none have ever surfaced.
- Is the Fisch easy to use?

- Can I buy one Fisch Fake Coin Identification Gauge?
Sorry, we do not sell the Fisch individually, neither can we substitute Fisch. This is all to do with the manufacturing process. Here’s a brief explanation: The Fisch are made by the injection molding process and then hand finished. The expensive part of the manufacturing process, aside from the initial cost of the tooling which is huge, is the machine time of the injection-molding machine. Machine time is the time that a very expensive machine is tied up making the Fisch. The longer the machine is used, the higher the cost. To reduce this cost, we make the Fisch together in groups. For example, the 4 Fisch in Maple Leaf Wallet #4 are all made at the same time. The tool or mold consists of 4 fingers, each finger being the tool or mold of each of the Maple Leaf Fisch. So that when the tool is on the injection-molding machine, all 4 Maple Leaf Fisch are made at the same time. This amortizes the cost of that machine time over the 4 Fisch.
If we sell, say, the 1oz Maple Leaf Fisch separately, we are left with 3 Maple Leaf Fisch - an incomplete set.
Put another way, the cost of one Fisch is virtually the same as the cost of all 4. The cost of material used to make a Fisch is not significant in relation to tool time.
