Find Fake Gold and Silver - Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier Review

- In this video I show how to find fake gold and silver using the Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier. I recently purchased a Basic Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier which is able to test different gold and silver coins. I show how to set up and use a Sigma Verifier as well as give my opinions on it. If you are worried about buying fake gold then this machine will help to put your mind at ease. Fake gold coins have been a problem for many years. Unless you have a trained eye you will not be able to spot fake gold bars and these sigma metalytics machines will be invaluable to you. As I mention in the video even if this machine prevents you from buying 1 fake gold coin then it has already saved you money. The peace of mind from knowing that I did not buy fake silver coins or fake silver bars is awesome. The Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier is also able to test for platinum, palladium, rhodium, and copper. The normal fake gold test includes chemicals which can damage your gold, but this machine will not damage your gold coins or bars. The Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier can also test slabbed gold and silver coins. Fake gold vs Real Gold has always been a reason that people are hesitant to buy gold bars. I believe that any serious gold stacker or gold bullion investor should seriously consider purchasing a Precious Metals Verifier of some kind.

The only thing worse than buying fake silver or gold is accidentally *selling* fake silver or gold. Good pickup.
Doing it intentionally makes it even worse.
Exactly ... that’s what I meant. Imagine selling coins 5 years later and some were unknown fakes. Or accidentally leaving a few fakes in stack to people in your will?
lol exactly 🔥🐉
My sigma verifier was paid off when i detected a fake 1 oz gold coin when i tried to purchase late last year. That how valuable about having to own one tester like this... it protects u... can't imagine if u only get to realise that u have over 50-60 oz of fake gold bars after 10 years in your safe when u so decided to take it out and sell them to a bullion dealers.. and they replied: :Sir, Im sorry, these are fakes!" ..
yep it’s well worth the price for sure!,🔥🐉
Oh wow I'm glad you had that sigma! #silverstallion
Hey #richierich silver Stallion here! I see you just started your channel! Me too! I would love it if you checked it out and possibly follow along with me on my journey to stacking silver and gold to the sky! Stack it high #silverstallion
Agreed my friend.
SO sorry that happened to you!
This was the best purchase I have ever made. So far, I have been finding a lot of stuff I thought was fake and was prepared to throw away is actually real.
yep it’s great to have for sure! 🔥🐉
Dafuq are you buying bro?
I just picked up one of these machines , I’ve been looking to buy one for a while I grew tired of using strong earth magnets and the acid tests , looks like a great machine that will pay off in the long run can’t wait for mine to arrive!
In Hong Kong I asked the shop if they had a machine like this and they said they didn't need such a thing. I said you DO need it because I want to verify that what I buy is 100% real. So it looks like I will have to buy my own and bring it with me when I shop for precious metals!!!
Thanks for making this video. I just bought this machine. Thought I'd better watch a few videos before it arrives. This video really helps me understand the functions.
Great addition to your stack. As prices go up, it makes more sense to be able to verify it’s not fake. Unfortunately even with good intentions, some people will unwittingly pass fake Silver/gold back into the market.
absolutely! 🔥🐉
I've been thinking about getting one of these for some time. They're great tools for investors like us. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with yours. After watching this I need to get not just the base unit, but I need at least the small wand. Thanks!
yeah gotta get the small wand... thanks for watching my friend and I highly recommend getting one 👍🏽🔥🐉
I picked one up when i first started stacking n i love it. Puts ur mind at ease.
awesome and it certainly does! 🔥🐉
Thanks for the demonstration! I've got one of these coming my way in the mail right now. Can't wait to use it! Be well
Finally pulled the trigger and ordered mine! Cant wait for it 😎
Hi SD! I see that you answer most all of your comments! That’s so admirable I will be subscribing just for that reason.
Awesome ,concise info too.
It appears that this tester doesn’t require you to take them out of their plastics?
great explanation of how to use the Precious metals verifier. A good tool to have for sure
thanks so much and you know it! 🔥🐉
I want one of these so bad, but they are so expensive! Great video and one day I will have one! 🤙🏼
yeah they aren’t cheap but they sure are handy! 🔥🐉
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
You showed how to use the coin to check for calibration, but didn’t mention anything about what to do if the unit displayed that it wasn’t calibrated.
Is there some sort of manual reset process to get it back to being calibrated properly again?
Thank you.
Thanks Silver Dragons. What a cool piece of equipment.
Great information! Luv'd it. Thanks
you are welcome and thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
Great video and explanation. Thank you Silver Dragons.
you are welcome thanks for watching my friend! 🔥🐉
I have the pro version, never regretted it. One thing I like about yours is there is a 4 nines fine and 3 nines fine setting for silver. The Pro only has a 4 nines setting, so the 3 nines silver shows up in the yellow range instead of the green range. It would be nice if the pro version had a .999 setting so ASE’s would test in the green range. This wouldn’t bother me so much, but a copper round can also show in the yellow range of the “pure silver” setting.
wow that’s interesting... i’m glad
I got this one then. thanks for sharing 👍🏽🔥🐉
A link to your Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier would be awesome!!!
link is in the description 👍🏽🔥🐉
Just got mine tonight...can't wait to play with it.
They work well. I bought mine years ago for close to a grand but it has picked up several fakes. Nothing in my stash but in a friends and even some the coin shop had out back because they were concerned to sell!
they do work well and it’s great to have one for sure! 🔥🐉
They have a pro model that was recommended to me. I can’t really afford the pro, do you feel this would be comparable? It’s half the price of the pro, seems to me just doesn’t have the sizing element and pro does more metals.
Always wondered about the price and operation of a verifier. Thanks. 👍
awesome well i’m glad I could help! 🔥🐉
Just getting back into coins. I bought my first gold coin Friday. I asked the dealer how do I know if it’s a counterfeit or not since the $5 Indian gold coin had no paper work. He pulled this same device out and assured me since it is in between the parenthesis I’m good. 😅
Nice! I might consider getting one at some point.
Great piece of test equipment. No chemicals no magnets. Not sure if I would have to sell my silver to buy it.
yeah it’s great for sure! don’t sell any silver though 😂🔥🐉
You can buy these (Fake bars of Au/Ag)on
Wish
which is a Shame...!!!!
Too Many people get Scammed.
Great Work n Share
✌💛🌐
NICE MACHINE 👍
yeah those are such a scam! thanks 👍🏽🔥🐉
Great demo!
Is it possible to get a fake coin from the major online retailers? If that ever happened, I feel like it would be impossible to prove they sold one to you and trying to get a refund.
SD, does this tool enable you to detect the silver composition of a slabbed graded coin? Will the wand penetrate the plastic? Or do I need a different tool for that?? TIA!!
Will this test jewellery? Like chains and what carat they are?
Would love one of these but i am in the UK and the customs would be expensive plus delivery. They don't seem to sell them elsewhere
Thank you for this informative video🙏
you are welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
I've been interested in getting one of these but it seems these only check the surface of the coin. If the core is fake would this machine pick that out?
Where is the best place to buy one of these in the UK? They dont seem to be available other than in the USA. Or are there similar machines for testing available to purchase in the UK market? Thanks
Me too in the Uk and would be interestes to know where to buy one
Good video, are you still just as happy with it? How has it held up?
does anyone have issues testing 100oz engelhard bar? i cant get the bar in between the lines but does not show the arrow
Mine just came in but I don't want to open it.
My coin dealer says those can be fooled on silver.
I'm debating selling it and buying the pro one.
The shop I go to deals in silver and gold bars and coins only. The sizes of gold are 10 to 100 grams and silver bars are 10 grams to 1 kilo. So the large wand would be perfect.
Do you have to take the coins out of the plastic capsules?
Which one do you recommend? I'd mainly be testing coins in capsules and bars in assay cards. 1/10 ounce all the way up to 10 oz.
I recommend the one I bought. link in description 🔥🐉
SD Nice pick up!!!!!!.... I am looking for one for Jewelry,,,,if anyone has a suggestion, even if it is a few years from now,,,, I might be looking for a new one....
Where would someone go to if they wanted to buy one of them Sigma tester. Any recommended sites Etc? Ta
Got mine 3 says ago. However a random clad quarter will test as silver on the pre-60 silver setting.
wow good to know! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 Not sure if it does on others. It might just be a quarter is to small for the main "eye". The wand shows clad as fake tho. I do like having the machine.
How does it work when you measure a something that is goldplated or gold filled?
it will say it’s fake 🔥🐉
If you have a silver coin that is 92.5%, try to run it on .999 gold test using your PM verifier.
Very interesting I'll add this to my library nice to know if your gold & silver is reall
yes it’s great to have for sure! 🔥🐉
When looking for war nickles I came across a 1946 nickle that looks different . Warn down like a typical junk silver in high circulation. I cant tell if it is silver or not. I did some research and found that a small amount of silver nickels were in fact minted in 1964! Can you use my nickle in a video and test it to see if it is? Only 4 were officially found but people say there are many out there!
I realize it’s been several years since you made this video
I just got my sigma today haven’t even looked at the book
Will it test 90% and 40% silver coins
Hey there Silver Dragons, do you know if this machine can do the other rare earth valuable metals such as Ruthenium & Rhenium & Osmium & Rhodium ect? I do a lot of home refining & would like to verify my chemical purification methods on each slug i produce as it takes a lot of work to do each little one due to the high temperatures involved & chemicals used.
ive had problems with bullion dealers trying to ripp me off in the UK by trying to tell me my samples are impure,
(I have a PHD in inorganic chemistry, so i know what is pure & what is not when i produce it),
i had one try to offer me just 300 pounds for a 2 & half ounce pure palladium ingot last month that was worth over 3 thousand pounds. Needles to say i told him where to get off. So i am contemplating getting one of these machines to take with on such trades.
it can do rhodium but that’s it 🔥🐉
Whats up Silver 🐉!? What you you think about trading bullion/coins for Jewelery? Can you do a video on this? Whatever comes to mind? Thanks!
I would literally never do that 😂 I like coins WAY better. thanks for watching 👍🏽🔥🐉
Is the machine a strong build or just plastic?
after getting this machine did you find any fake coins you previously thought were real?
Does this test gold scrap metals?
We have one at the shop. Worth it.
nice you really gotta! 🔥🐉
Does the unit have penetrative ability to rule out the possibility of base metal inclusions?
If you mean on larger bars, the really big bullion wand that penetrates several millimeters in on large bullion pieces will. The manual suggests you check several areas on a bar for embedded base metals, in fact. If you mean coins and rounds, the unit and/or wands will tell you with an indication outside the brackets, looking past any coatings or plating.
BTW, if your sample is slabbed with anything ferrous, it won't indicate anything and will just kick back to the run/calibrate command...but if you check your sample with a magnet you'll already know this. Sigma reminds users that the verifier should NOT be the only factor in judging authenticity...look/feel, weight, and magnetism are _always_ part of the process.
Would be cool if they can bring the price down. Silver Dragons, are there other competitors making something similar to this verifier?
hmm idk. this is the best one I have seen 🔥🐉
I have Question
I can buy this machine in Dubai ?
Platinum tested abit out is becos of the surface of the coin has curvature and u need a flat spot on the coin to get into the bracket. so try to flip it around and move the platinum coin abit around the circle on the sigma to get a reading into the bracket.
good idea 👍🏽🔥🐉
I believe it has to do with the thinness of the coin. Try placing the calibration disk on top of the coin when you are testing it on the main sensor. That should get you a good reading. The small wand works because it is not reading all the way through the coin.
Good video... so scared to buy a fake and not know it! Hate scammers...
yep scammers are the worst! 🔥🐉
Other than convenience, any reason why it wouldn’t just go to a pawn shop and ask them to bring out their machine to check your coins?
Great info
thanks so much! 🔥🐉
Congrats ivan always wanted one 🤓
maybe someday you will get one! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Good video. Peace
thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉
Would this test jewelry too just curious
I have been waiting for this video. Thank you for making it, i need to get one of these for sure. My stack isn't big but i don't want to wait to have 1000's of ounces to find out some are fakes.
Where is the link to this in your video description?
awesome 👍🏽 I have added the link to the description 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 Thank you.
were is the best place to get one those machines? thanks silver dragons 47🐉
I put a link in the description to where I got mine 👍🏽🔥🐉
How much does it cost for this machine Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals ??????. Thanks
If you are stacking a lot of silver and gold, it can be of great help.
absolutely! 🔥🐉
Those are fantastic!
🗽🇺🇸
oh you know it! 🔥🐉
Finally getting mine
Hi. I am from Thailand and Thai gold are usually 96.5% and silver are usually 95% and 80%. Does the machine have the option for such percentage? I am looking to buy the machine but in doubt about these settings. Please kindly spare your time to check for me. Very much appreciated.
I did not see one for those settings 🔥🐉
Silver Dragons thank you 🙏🏼
I'm always worried if I get one a new model will come out lol 🤤🤘🏻
lol who cares there is no software updating 🔥🐉
What does “proof” mean?
Glad my LCS has one so I don't have to try and afford one lol
lol nice use it all you can! 🔥🐉
can this machine detect coated fake coin?.
yes 100% it will know 🔥🐉
I've been hunting for one ON EBAY for a few months now. Still holding out to find A used one for 700.00 ill find one someday.
Well hello there! My name is blues klues, and I require the klues steven.
Inflation will drive the price up more.
the prices keep going up I would just get one now 🔥🐉
Thanks SD, I need to pull the trigger on his myself. Do you know if Yankee has one?
they are great! I do not believe he has one 🔥🐉
Silver Dragons yea, I have stacked gold and silver hard this year and my recent purchases of gold have me a bit nervous. A AGE, GML and Buffalo. The Buffalo is a 2015 and looks a bit dull to me..🤔
Mark Huber better test it 🔥🐉
Can you test jewelry
where did you buy it?
I put a link in the description 👍🏽🔥🐉
Does This Machine test the core of Metal also or the skin only ???
it tests the core 🔥🐉
Okay thanks for reply
But I have one question
Can I buy this machine in Dubai???
@@SilverDragons47 does it matter where inside the [ ] the line is?
How do I know your tester isn't fake?
Thank you for sharing. This convinced me: Gonna get one... soon!
you are welcome and do it! 🔥🐉
how much are they brand new?
8 to 9 hundred. Seen some selling above A grand. But that's to high.
right now they are listed for $880. link in description 🔥🐉
Over 40k! 👍🏻🤘🏻
for sure thanks my friend! 🔥🐉
can this machine be fooled?
What's up silver dragon's silverstallion here

The Chinese will probably build and sell Counterfeit Sigma Gold Testing Machines for 75% off new cost.
My local shop has a 23oz silver block that I want to verify before buying. Currently waiting for my tester to ship.
Took mine just a couple of days short of 9 weeks to ship (ordered on March 10, shipped Priority Mail on May 12). It might have helped that I phoned GoldBug Supply and spoke with the proprietor once it went over 8 weeks (no drama, just touching base to check) who told me they were truly backlogged and a bunch were going out in a couple of days...mine shipped a couple of days later.
I've only had it a few days and I'm loving it. As the video shows there are some minor idiosyncrasies involved so I'll be learning these subtleties as I go, but I can reliably verify silver coins and rounds from generic silver ounces down to Mercury dimes and gold items from my big 1.2057 ozt. Mexican Centenario down to my favorite small fractionals, the 20 franc 90% gold series and tiny .1106 ozt. oddball purity .986 fine Austrian ducat.
It's pricy, but I call this a definite winner. I hope you got the set with 3 wands that includes the really big bullion wand that penetrates several millimeters in on large bullion pieces exactly like the one you're looking at!
Silver dragon's that was a costly buy and now dont you gotta add that in to your cost of your stack. And i'v been buying silver for so long i could tell just buy the look and feel of a round or coin if it's silver or not. I think you could do that to with out a sigma.
But when you buy one i dont think your buying for your self your getting it ease other people fear's if your silver and gold is fake or not.
yeah it’s nice to take to the coin shop and look cool 😂🔥🐉
Can it do Jewellery?
No
maybe some with the small wand but not a lot 🔥🐉
I need a sigma
One day I will start buying again
everyone needs one 👍🏽🔥🐉
$1000??? 😳😳😳
See also: czcams.com/video/gl6wLoi7fsY/video.html for another view of the machine.
awesome! 🔥🐉
Thats Interesting I was Waiting for a scond hand One ,But I know a Shop that have a muti thousand dollar one I thinknIf im worried i will getv them to check it
@@briansmythe3219 -- were I an LCS owner and had one of the expensive machines, I'd offer to use it for customers for a very small fee (say, $0.05/sample, to help pay for the original machine) and I'd handle the machine and coins to test myself entirely but well within view and reach of the customer (so they'd know their coins are safe). Maybe I'd print some forms that could be filled out to keep track of the results and give to the customer as well. I'd be on the lookout for used (refurbished?) ones to sell. I hope the shop you visit is able to help you and that you are able to help them, too 😊
@@debbys-abqnm4537 Yeah Thanks there good Its a XRF machine and they will test your coins for nothing , I seen another Video on the PRO" model of these They had some extra features , I was going to link it for you but I cant find it Sorry
@@briansmythe3219 -- using such a machine -- for free -- as a way to please regular customers and invite new ones into the store is a good idea. The cost of the machine can probably be written off taxes, too, and also may be covered in an advertising budget. As I don't plan ever to buy one (I don't stack that big or buy things I'm not reasonably certain of), no need to pass along that URL... though others may be interested. Maybe make a separate post under this video for that link when you find it, more people will see it 😊
For the price you said it's not perfect?That's not reassuring!
lol nothing is perfect 🔥🐉
Platinum coins fake..that sucks man..
SHOULD - Probably TURN OFF machine -Before PLUGGING IN Small Calibrators !!
@silverdragons would this work with 2oz 5oz an 10oz coins
I just picked up one of these machines , I’ve been looking to buy one for a while I grew tired of using strong earth magnets and the acid tests , looks like a great machine that will pay off in the long run can’t wait for mine to arrive!
