Recently, a private jet loaded with fake gold caused a sensation. Coming from Egypt, a private jet landed in Zambia. Apparently, hundreds of gold bars were found inside, along with dollar bills and weapons. The gold bars were made of copper and zinc, gold fraud. If you want to buy gold coins or gold bars as a private person, you should pay attention to a few things. Counterfeit gold coins are still relatively easy to recognize. Size and diameter often differ from the real coins, because the specific weight of base metals is not identical to the weight of real gold. So, weight, diameter and thickness are important characteristics, as is a smooth surface. And there is the magnetic test. Gold, in fact, behaves dia-magnetically, which means it repels a magnet. The sound also provides clues, because counterfeits tend to sound dark instead of bright and fine. In addition, there are professional testing devices. Gold bars usually have a certificate of authenticity, and they are stamped with the manufacturer's stamp. The best protection when buying gold is to buy from a trusted dealer. It is better to avoid supposedly cheap purchases from abroad.
Instead of relying on physical gold, investors can invest in gold companies. Here too, of course, there are a number of things to watch out for. Well-positioned companies with experienced management and projects in safe regions should be given priority. These include Fury Gold Mines and Tudor Gold, for example.
