What the Fisch Does

The FISCH makes you your own gold coin expert. 

With the Fisch you can buy your gold coins from whom you want, when you want and where you want. You can pay by cash, check or trade. Just check the coin with the Fisch. If it passes, it is not a common metal fake. There are Fisch for all the popular gold bullion coins like the Krugerrand, American Eagle & Maple Leaf.

The Fisch will make you your own gold expert. And, after all, who can look after you better than yourself? Protect your gold investment.

Fake gold coins don't look like fake gold coins. They look like real gold coins. Dealers, jewelers, bankers and investors have all been fooled.

You need to know that what you buy is gold. Not someone telling you it is gold. Because if it turns out to be fool's gold, it is your hard earned cash that is out the window. Even if you have a "guarantee" that the gold is genuine.... Consider this...

You buy a TV or a microwave. It breaks while under warranty. You take it back to the store. It will be fixed. For free. No arguments. You bought it there - the serial number makes it easy to prove - and you have the warranty.

But how could you prove where you bought your gold? There are no serial numbers on gold coins...

Say you buy a gold coin from XYZ Gold Corporation. Some time later (6 days or months or years.. it doesn't matter) you decide to sell. The would-be buyer says "This is a fake."

   
  "With any coins, it's buyer beware"

- U.S. Secret Service official, 1982
 
You rush over to XYZ Gold Corporation - if they are still in business - and tell them the bad news: "Hey". you say, "this coin you sold me 6 days, months, years ago is a fake!"

What will XYZ Gold Corporation say? "Gee whiz, we're sorry. Here take this coin." Don't count on it. Put yourself in their shoes. How do they know you haven't switched coins?

Even if you have a receipt it is not much help. As Changing Times wrote "A receipt is not a guarantee of authenticity...because coins are not individually identifiable."

Maybe XYZ Gold Corporation consider themselves experts and are offended by your claim (and feel their business is threatened): "Listen , buddy, we've been in business for years. We are experts. We don't sell fakes. Any more from you about this and you'll hear from our lawyers."

   
  "Normal investors don't stand a chance against a skilled counterfeiter unless forewarned and forearmed"

- Silver & Gold Report, 1984
 
Like it or not, you are totally dependent on them to right their mistake. If they refuse, your only option will be to sue them in court. And it will be difficult to win. After all, you are going to have to prove that the dealer sold you that fake.

This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. But you can protect yourself from fake gold.

THE MODERN FAKE IS DANGEROUS

   
  " Faking gold coins has long been a profitable business, especially in Italy and Beirut, so that today there are millions of fake coins in circulation."
-Timothy Green in How to Buy Gold, 1975
 
Visually identical to a genuine coin, the modern fake could wreck your investment portfolio. Precious metals dealers, coin dealers, jewelers and bankers have all been fooled by fakes. But they don't like to talk about them...

Silver & Gold Report calls fakes "The Best Kept Secret of the Bullion Industry."

 

Daniel Kehrer says in his best-selling book The Cautious Investor's Guide to Profits in Precious Metals: ".... Precious metals dealers are none too anxious to admit it, but counterfeit coins are a problem."

 

Kehrer adds that "recognising the problem (of fakes), and learning how to spot (them) has become standard 'training' for investors today."

 

How does Silver & Gold Report and Kehrer recommend investors protect themselves against fakes?
