bigtattoo79 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 1:16 pm Started collecting a little silver and can't help the fact I'm stressing over getting fake silver. So far I've only bought from APMEX, Provident and JM Bullion, can I assume these bigger companies wouldn't deal in fake silver? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 3:40 pm Extremely unlikely that any of those thin margin retailers would ever have anything other than good silver. Buy US silver coins or US American Silver Eagles or Canadian maple leaves if you are hesitant. Those are higher over spot prices, but do offer more security if you are still concerned.

Lunch Money Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 4:00 pm I think that's a pretty safe bet. If they were found to be sending out fake silver, it would be pretty devastating for their business, so they likely have pretty good safeguards against it. If you have concerns with getting fakes, though, there are ways to check - magnets, weight, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
bigtattoo79 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 9:28 pm Thanks for the info. I'm not buying too much all at once but I'm definitely interested in picking up a little every now and then. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
everything Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 6:52 pm Some rounds have safety features, even cheap rounds. In my opinion SML has incredible safety features. Dealers are super picky, they verify everything. Save up and buy on dips vs. buying small quantity. Report this Post to the Staff
