Previous years
Coins from previous years are tested by us for weight, content and condition. A specialized device measures the magnetic reactivity of the coins or bars, as a metal’s magnetism cannot be manipulated. Different metals exhibit unique responses to magnetic fields based on their composition. Precious metals like gold are non-magnetic and weakly repelled by magnets, while common counterfeit materials like tungsten are attracted to magnets. All test objects remain in their packaging and suffer no decrease in value. Gilded objects and counterfeit items are immediately recognized.
