Magnet Test on a Real and Fake Engelhard 100oz Silver Bar

[Be sure to see our video on using Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges to accurately determine if a bar is made of real silver]

This video shows you how to use the "magnet test" to help determine which 100oz Engelhard silver bar bar is real, and which is fake (made from lead).

Silver is diamagnetic, meaning that a magnet will not stick to it, but you will feel strong resistance when moving a strong magnet on the surface of the silver. Although lead is also diamagnetic, it is much less so, as this video shows.

Note that this test will likely not detect real silver bars that were hollowed and filled with lead (the ring test might, however).

The magnet test can positively determine that a bar is fake, but cannot positively determine that a bar is real. For a very accurate test, you can use an ultrasonic thickness gauge (check our our other videos to see one in action; we were the first to use this technique).

Silver: 3 Reasons The Little Brother Has Massive Potential

When we think of gold, we think of the solid, safe-haven, value-holding, inflation-hedging, shiny, yellow metal that lets us sleep at night knowing the governments of the world cannot print it out of existence. Gold is the big cheese in the precious-metals investing community. There’s no doubt that gold should be a part of everyone’s investment portfolio, but it’s important not to forget gold’s little brother: silver.

Silver holds all of the same characteristics that make gold a great monetary metal. Silver is durable, malleable, easily recognizable, portable, divisible, and uniform (one silver coin is basically the same as the next). It is also scarce enough to make it valuable for smaller transactions. Most important of all, as with gold, no amount of money printing will reduce your physical holdings of silver by one bit.

What makes silver even more attractive than gold is its potential upside. There are several reasons why silver may outperform gold in the coming years. They are outlined below. After examining these reasons, we’ll explore the recent shortage of Silver Eagles at the US Mint and what this all means for the price of silver in the long run.

Gold, Silver, Bullion and Taxes



US Gold Eagle and US Gold Buffalo coins, all weights, are not reportable for any quantity.
Foreign coins sold in quantities of 25 ounces or more are reportable. Foreign coins include, but are not limited to: South African Krugerrands, Austrian Philharmonics, Chinese Pandas, Canadian Maple Leafs, British Sovereigns, etc.
Fine bars sold in weights of one kilo (32.15 troy ounces) or more per transaction are reportable.

Silver:

Bullion coins sold in any quantity are not reportable. Examples include, but are not limited to: Mexican Libertade, US Eagles, Austrian Philharmonic, Canadian Maple Leaf, etc.
Bullion bars and rounds, .999 fine, sold in weights of 1,000 ounces or more per transaction are reportable.
Junk bags of 90% coins, $1,000 face value or greater sold in a single transaction are reportable.
As outlined here, a gold and silver bullion investor can avoid any 1099B reporting requirements by simply pursuing a buying strategy of coins that are exempt. We must add a note of caution: arranging the sale of bullion in multiple transactions to skirt the reporting requirements will expose the seller to further scrutiny and possible prosecution. A dealer that determines a seller is using a pattern of sales to avoid 1099B reporting is required to file a Suspicious Activity Report

Can Silver Shine Brighter Than Gold?

When we think of gold, we think of the solid, safe-haven, value-holding, inflation-hedging, shiny, yellow metal that lets us sleep at night knowing the governments of the world cannot print it out of existence. Gold is the big cheese in the precious-metals investing community. There’s no doubt that gold should be a part of everyone’s investment portfolio, but it’s important not to forget gold’s little brother: silver.

Silver holds all of the same characteristics that make gold a great monetary metal. Silver is durable, malleable, easily recognizable, portable, divisible, and uniform (one silver coin is basically the same as the next). It is also scarce enough to make it valuable for smaller transactions. Most important of all, as with gold, no amount of money printing will reduce your physical holdings of silver by one bit.

What makes silver even more attractive than gold is its potential upside. There are several reasons why silver may outperform gold in the coming years. They are outlined below. After examining these reasons, we’ll explore the recent shortage of Silver Eagles at the U.S. Mint and what this all means for the price of silver in the long run.

Reason #1: The 16:1 Rule

Historically, silver has traded at about a 16:1 ratio to gold. At today’s current spot prices, silver is trading at closer to 55:1. If we assume that silver will eventually return to its historic ratio, the current deviation could imply one of three scenarios:

1) Gold will drop off a cliff

2) Gold will fall significantly, while silver simultaneously rises

3) Silver will skyrocket to all-time highs

For the first scenario, let’s assume that silver’s price remains at current levels, and gold falls to assume the historic 16:1 ratio. At $30 per ounce of silver, gold would need to fall to $480 per ounce — a level not seen in almost nine years. For the second scenario, let’s assume that gold takes a significant hit. The most recent bearish estimates for the gold price have been around $1,200 per ounce. At a 16:1 ratio, silver would have to climb to $75 per ounce — more than double its current price. For the third scenario, let’s assume that gold maintains its current price, even though we at the Hard Assets Alliance think it is destined to move much higher. With gold at $1,600 per ounce, silver should be $100 — over three times its current price.

Of course, anything is possible, but if you believe that gold will rise as the dollar falls, what does that say about silver? Perhaps $100 per ounce does not seem so unreasonable.

Reason #2: The Metal of All Trades

Many of us think of silver as an investment metal, but silver’s main source of demand comes from industrial uses. In 2011, coin demand only made up about 10 percent of total demand for silver. The rest was applied, in everything from photography to jewelry and electronics. There are even some instances of silver replacing platinum in catalytic converters.

Gold & Silver Double Bottom With Major Bearish Sentiment

JUNE ANALYSIS: Gold and silver prices have bounced after reaching a double bottom. Here is a price analysis for June 2013 reviewing likely circumstances.



June Price Forecast - Clive Maund
Gold is now one of the most hated asset classes in the world, and Big Money's media henchmen are not wasting any opportunity to put the boot into it, oblivious to the irony that such negativity is music to the ears of the true contrarian, which we like to think includes us. The relentless and brutal attacks on gold in the mainstream media are a sure sign that we are at or near to an important bottom. We see that gold has dropped back quite hard, but in a fairly steady manner, over the past week or so towards its April panic lows. This alone implies that there is a fair chance that the support at these lows will hold, or that if it is breached, it won't be by much. While gold admittedly doesn't look too good on its multi-year chart, as the high volume breakdown from the top area implies that it could drop further towards strong support approaching $1000, this outcome does not look likely given the Commitment Of Traders and sentiment extremes that we are already seeing, and the explosion of negativity towards the metal in the mainstream media, all of which are indicating that we are at or close to a major bottom NOW.
The COT chart shows that Commercial short and Large Spec long positions have dropped to their lowest level by far for the life of this chart. This is bullish. Small Specs are out completely, which is another positive sign.

Gold's COT is at its most positive since the 2008 crash with the Commerical short and Large Spec long positions at their lowest levels since that time. This is construed as strongly bullish for the medium and long term. In addition, the Hubert Gold Sentiment is at its lowest reading for years. As a contrarian indicator, this is strongly bullish.
Will the double bottom pattern hold or could we still see a move down to the $1,200 level which mainstream media has been hinting at for months? Looking at the upcoming month of June for the gold markets, it is very difficult to suggest that there will be steady movements. The market will certainly be held hostage to the whims and statements of the Federal Reserve. The mere mention of the possibility of pulling back some of the quantitative easing will continue to put a massive panic in the markets. The $1,400 area will be important. If the market will be able to break, and more importantly hold, above that area, it would signal a stronger gold market. The area between $1,350 and $1,400 seems to be one of consolidation. The reality is that most talking heads on the television have left gold for dead, and I am starting to wonder what is left to beat the market up. The fact that most people hate gold doesn't faze me overall, as I have heard this kind of pessimism on and off for years. The markets seem to have two speeds, one that focuses on the longer-term trend, and one that focuses on the last week or two.
The metal's plunge after the longest bull rally in at least nine decades has kept it below the 200-day moving average since February. Prices may climb to $1,500 in June after forming a "double bottom". Equally as likely, however, is another leg down in this price correction that could take gold down to the $1,200 level and silver to around $17 where they will likely find strong support.
