Our goal at FakeBullion.com is to provide the resources necessary for bullion dealers and stackers to educate themselves on the influx of counterfeit products in the modern bullion market. We believe the best defense is a good offense, which means not only knowing how to test items you already have, but knowing what to look for before you make a purchase. This requires extensive examination and documentation of the counterfeits themselves, as well as understanding the underlying properties of different detection methods.
To facilitate this, we spend thousands of dollars a year securing samples of counterfeit bullion, samples of genuine bullion for comparisons, tools and supplies for our how-to articles and videos, and on web hosting and content management software. We also spend hundreds of hours a year tracking down samples, taking measurements, photographs, and scans, creating info-graphics and producing videos, answering questions and concerns from users, and maintaining the website and social media accounts. Counterfeiters are always creating new products and scammers are always looking for new ways to sell them, which means FakeBullion.com is an ongoing project with no end in site.
To offset our costs, we rely on donations from our users. To reward donors, we make new entries in the Fake Bullion Database visible only to donors for the first 60 days they are listed on the website. After 60 days they become visible to the general public. Donors also gain access to the FakeBullion.com Forum where they can read and join in discussions related to counterfeit coins and bullion.
