[quote=mixxalot]Is there a way to determine a real gold or silver coin from a fake when buying from a coin store in San Diego like San Diego Coin and Vault or BlueVault? I did not like the wait and check only policy at these places. If I pay 10K to buy gold, I want to take possession that time of purchase![/quote]
That’s what I was thinking if getting that plastic tool. Yes it’s overpriced, but buying from the mint is paying like $200/ounce above spot prices. So if you buy more than 2 ounces elsewhere, you are even.
