We are very excited to finally unveil FakeBullion.com to the public!
It has been more than two years since our founder acquired the first sample counterfeit pieces and posted an analysis on a couple of precious metal discussion forums. The problem has grown tenfold since then, and we are eager to start providing resources that can raise awareness among collectors and dealers.
We'd like to thank the individuals who have donated counterfeit pieces to us for analysis, loaned us genuine pieces for comparisons, and tested earlier versions of the website to provide feedback. The site has been in development for over a year and has come a long way.
We'd also like to thank the Supporting Members who have already contributed to the website, all of those who will join in over the coming weeks and months, and our advertisers and affiliates. Developing and hosting the website, acquiring counterfeit pieces for analysis, and publishing content all costs time and money. This resource would not be possible without member and advertiser support.
What you see today is just the beginning. FakeBullion.com is an ongoing project and we will be adding new content weekly. The Forum for Supporting Members will also grow and is sure to become another valuable resource. We look forward to building a community that can be a positive force in the coin and bullion industry!
