2012 Silver Chinese Pand Coin - 1 oz. Finally the 2012 series silver Panda coins are out. The coins were actually minted on $30 per oz level. There are three sources for Panda coins that I recommend you purchase from in China. They are; China Gold Coin Inc. Bank of China Shanghai, Shenzhen or Shenyang Mint In the United States: APMEX Gainesville Coins Panda America Inc. U.S. release date is March 30, 2012. Price paid in China Gold Coin Inc. store on Friday, March 16, 2012 was 320 yuan. Interestingly, my first silver Panda coin purchased in China when I arived in 2008 was only 160 yuan.

SILVER UPDATE with Godfrey Walton, Endeavour Silver President Interview

silver will increase dramatically, it is still dirt cheap this year ..maybe even cheaper because of all the manipulation i can buy it cheaper ..because thats the way they do it to buy low and keep the public buying anything other than gold and silver ..you gotta hold long term . lets wipe out the silver in this world we need 1 million people world wide to come together to buy 3 kg silver or 96 silver 1 oz coin we then can make a lot of money please copy and paste this and share this information lets make silver extinct

MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet

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

The way coin dealers were doing it was to drill a small hole. But, people then want a discount on the bar. The best non-destructive way seems to be using an ultrasonic thickness gauge (but, they cost $100-$200 or so) because It is possible to use tungsten (which has a higher mass than gold) in gold bars, but it is quite difficult to do. It would likely be nearly impossible with 1 ounce gold bars/coins.Copper is diamagnetic (lead is, too), but neither exhibit the behavior nearly as much as silver. Copper is less diamagnetic than lead. Copper is less dense than silver, so weighing an coin/bar and comparing the dimensions to a real one would easily discover a copper-based fake (unlike lead, which can weigh the same as silver when alloyed with other metals).

Shows you how to use the "magnet test" to 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).
