I’m getting this machine on Tuesday. There are plenty of people getting ripped off with fake gold and silver. You can no longer tell the difference with the naked eye anymore. They even weigh the same now . And to make matters worse, I saw an ad on Craigslist where the guy even admitted the bars were fake and he wanted to sell fake silver bars for $4 each. The only reason that I recommend Bullion Exchange to people is because they test all their inventory when people are selling to them and they even sell the Sigma precious metal tester. So many people that I know got scammed with fake gold or silver. The counterfeit coins coming out of China are on another level. You can easily be fooled into getting ripped off.

For a home-user, if you have the money for the Sigma Verifier Pro, would you recommend getting the Pro, or sticking with the machine featured in this video?

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

As you can see in the video, this version of the Sigma is able to accurately test different types of bars and rounds. The Pro has more comprehensive selections and more features, so if you're expecting to invest in many different types of bullion, the Pro might be for you. But for at home use, many customers find that the regular Sigma is sufficient for their needs.

@selectsilverarts542 5 лет назад

This machine was used to measure the purity of a round marked as .999 FS. The bar was off to the right at its furthest before removing its self from the safe zone... Switched to the Numerical reading and 1.69-1.70 toggled? .999 is to be 1.60-1.63 no more or less Sent this round in to be tested and turns out that it reads 99.47 silver and .53 Tungsten What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

Sounds like the machine did its job. Since the round is almost .999, the reading showed that it nearly fell into the .999 brackets, but wasn't quite pure enough to make it there. It's possible the mix of tungsten was simply a manufacturing error with the round. Older rounds can also sometimes have issues reading as .999, due to wear, circulation, and other metals they may have come in contact with over time. Obviously, the authenticity and purity of your investments is of the utmost importance - that said, on this particular one ounce round, it's a difference of about 1/2% of an ounce of silver, which is 10c with a spot price of $20 for an ounce.

@jr.patriotswrestlingclub5768 5 лет назад

Ok I have a question. I have a gold bar that I have made from gold nuggets and placer panned gold. I used my testing stone and it doesn't dissolve until I use the 22k acid. so I would think that means it is 22k. But if I put a small drop on the gold bar it's self it slowly turn a dark color but it never bubbles or fizzes or acts funny it just slowly turns dark on that spot. but only does that with a drop of 22k acid not any of the other acids

@Bullionexchanges 5 лет назад

@jr.patriotswrestlingclub5768 5 лет назад

@Bullionexchanges 5 лет назад

It means that the bar is between 18k and 22k, however, you'll need to test it with an XRF Assay Analyzer Gun to get the exact karat. The acid test wont tell you exact karat.

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

@SilverGoldComics Год назад

Hi two questions... does it matter where it falls within the brackets? (I have one, but there instructions are limited) and, I tested a 1oz copper coin and it fell within the brackets for .999 silver. Is that normal? Thanks

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

Great questions! It does not matter where inside the brackets the reading falls. Sometimes authentic coins can even read slightly outside the brackets. The Sigma, just like any test used to authenticate coins, is just a tool used to give you information. When you look at all the information together - that the coin has the correct weight, diameter, and is showing copper spotting like authentic pure gold coins often do, the fact that the coin is just outside the brackets of the Sigma is not worrisome. If the reading showed so far outside the brackets that the arrow pointed off screen, that would be concerning. To answer your second question, the Sigma measures the electrical resistivity expected of precious metals. Some metals can have similar electrical characteristics to others, and thus, may fall within the Sigma's brackets even if it is not the metal for which the Sigma is testing. It's important do multiple tests, including measuring and weighing the piece in question. The information the Sigma provides, along with information from other standard tests, can provide a better overall picture of what the piece in question is made of.

@TheFirewoodHut 2 года назад

This machine saved the day at an Auction I went to yesterday. A 1 oz Perth Mint bar tested *fake*! Saved me, or another bidder, a lot of $$$$. One Q I got is: when I got home, I tested several of my .9999 bars (in assay cards) to be sure my sigma was operating correctly. The bar was right in the middle of parenthesis on .999 setting. When I swithched to .9999 setting; it fell well outside of brackets.

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

Glad to hear the Sigma saved the day! The best way to test bars on the Sigma is placing the metal (without an assay card) directly on the center target, or using the wands directly on the metal. I wouldn't be too concerned as long as the bars you have test OK on the .999 setting.

@@cristoff3 I got mine for 700 2 yrs ago, well worth it! Reason for the wand is factory protocol states this for smaller than 1oz coins. I think this has to do with the “thinness” of sub 1oz coins. The machine uses electro-magnetic field disturbance to get its reading and maybe the small coins do not sit properly within the main machines generated field.

PM’s are mainly valued for their electric-chemical properties. Common misconception that it’s solely due to rarity. It produces a controlled electro-magnetic field into the area that the coin is placed. Each PM causes a different kind of disturbance in this field and the machine reads this disturbance to determine if it’s the metal of X purity that you ask it.

@Bullionexchanges Год назад

The Precious Metal Verifier can be used to measure the bulk metal in a bullion bar or coin and ensure that the metal matches the electrical characteristics that would be expected of it. The Verifier can see through plastic cases and bags, so numismatic coins do not need to be removed from protective holders. - The way it works is, different sized sensors are used for different sized samples. The biggest sensor is in the main housing and is used for large samples, like 1-ounce coins and bars. - To measure smaller objects one of two external wands is connected to the main unit via a cable. The large wand is used for coins weighing between ¼ and 1 ounce. The small wand can be used for smaller samples, such as 1-gram bars and CombiBars, 1/10-ounce coins, and the like. - The user selects the metal that the sample is expected to be. The Verifier sets the value of that metal’s resistivity to the center of the bar display. - The bar display has brackets that show the expected range of the reading for the selected metal. So, for example, if the user selects pure gold as the metal, and pure gold is placed on the sensor, a value within the brackets will be obtained. Virtually any other metal with a similar weight will fall far outside this range. If the actual reading does not correspond to the expected reading, an arrow will show up on the bar display.

Best method of testing is a combination of high accuracy tests. Sigma will answer the question “is it XYZ metal of X purity?” But it want tell you if the weight or dimensions. Sigma uses electro-magnetic field disturbance to get its reading. Silvers Value, and every other PM isn’t solely due to rarity. Otherwise my farts would be super valuable as only I can produce them.

If you deal or stack in any significant volume, this machines 700 price tag is a drop in the bucket compared to the risk of purchasing even one fake gold coin! Not only does it bring you peace of mind, when you sell your customers will have that same peace of mind when you verify the piece on the sigma in front of them.

Agreed, it is always a good idea to double check.
