By applying for a job at a Precious Metals Brokerage. It did help that the owner is my best friend and I have been protecting my wealth with Silver and Gold for 15 years. Wish I learned earlier.

People are so stupid! Something for nothing is not a good deal. It’s a scam!

Costco is a great place to get low premium gold and silver. When you go in for your 500 toilet paper rolls just grab a bar. Money Metal Exchange and JM Bullion are pretty good for online buying. Fast shipping and never had an issue.

There is one real easy solution. Ask your dealer if he has an XRF machine. For legitimate brokers, this is not a big expense. The dealer could even make money by charging a small additional fee for verification....

Maybe they are fake Trump silver bars, just like how fakey he's been, selling guitars, watches and sneakers and helping Muskrat sell Telsa vehicles, oh, forgot about the bibles he was selling.

That’s interesting that it happened with 1 Oz bars. You’d expect them to counterfeit 5 or 10, or 100 oz bars instead…

Needless to say, THIS is another reason why people should ONLY be buying sovereign coins and not generics. Generics will not hold up during a confiscation, meanwhile COINS are legal tender.

I think if they come door to door for generics we've got bigger problems

Who are they going to take the metals from?

Who do you know that has it besides you and me and we will hide it away forever before we give it up.

That though is exactly why they do with smaller bullion, less likely to check or be concerned with smaller bullion items.

Off Ebay?? The Chinese have FLOODED the coin

market with FAKE gold and silver coins. I think it is purposely being allowed

for a number of reasons including:

1) to scam people

2) scare buyers away

3) Make it difficult to sell, when/if the times come

Money Metals Exchange.. https://www.moneymetals.com/

they even provide SECURE Storage. don't be fooled thinking YOU can hide your metals at home. if gangs find out you have metals (gold/Silver) at your home (even if in a vault)

they will raid your home, hold you and your loved ones hostage, torture them as you watch, until you give up the location and combination. then they will KILL YOU.

don't believe this will occur, search for stories.

store your metals at a secure VAULT (like money metals) then no one can get to it except YOU.
