This is a great question and the correct thought to have anytime you are investing your time and money into precious metals. Not all dealers will have the ability to test coins or bullion in front of you. This should be a red flag for any buyer, small or large purchase!
Here at Humboldt Gold Exchange, we have invested in two cutting edge precious metal testers & verifiers that are available in our store at all time:
The first unit is called Thermo Scientific Niton DXL Precious Metal Analyzer. This machine quickly distinguishes between gold plating and solid gold, determines the accurate karat (K) of gold, and breaks down the exact percent of up to 22 different elements, including all precious metals, that could be present in the piece.
The second unit is called the Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals PRO. It measures the item in four separate measurements that ensure that the coin or bar contains the correct metal. We measure the surface resistivity and the resistivity all the way through the item all at once so you will not have to worry about the depth of the buried metal.
We don't expect you to only trust our word and years of knowledge, we have the tools available to provide you the proof within our promise. We pride ourselves in having some of the top machinery available so you can buy with the peace of mind you deserve.
