So are you ready to get your start in the world of gold collecting and investing in gold? I am sure you are! But, there are a few things you will want to remember and learn, in order to make your new adventure worth your time. So gear up for a quick crash course on how to shop for real gold, and avoid getting fake gold! In recent times, the gold selling industry has increased with fake gold. So it is important that you learn the right steps in order to protect yourself from these scams! You may feel a bit overwhelmed at first, but stick with it, and before you know it you will be a pro at identifying fake gold. Which, in turn, will help you save yourself from sinking a ton of time and money into something that is worth next to nothing! So let us get started! First off, it is important that you learn a couple of popular myths that I am sure you have already been told about. The first one, is the old myth that you can tell if the gold you are considering is the real deal or not, by a “14k” stamp or something similar on the back of it. This however, is no longer a truth statement. It has become very easy for anyone to add these stamps to fake gold, in order to sell it of as the real thing. Another problem with this myth, is that other countries do not even have stamps on their real gold. So you could in fact, find real gold, without a stamp! So no matter which way you look at this myth, it is just that, a myth. So do not fall for it, or you will be sorry. Next up, is another old myth, stating that if you pick up real gold coins, you can tell it is real, by whether it leaves a coloring or marking on your hands after holding it. However, this is completely false. In fact, real gold will not leave any kind of marking on your head. So you can actually reverse this myth to use to see if gold is real or not. When shopping, be sure to check for markings. If, after holding gold in the your hands, you find a coloring on your hand, or any other kind of marking, you will know right away it is fake! So do yourself a favor and always keep your eye out for this when collecting gold! Lastly, one of the easiest ways to know if gold is real or not, without a doubt, is biting down on the gold. Yes, you read that correctly. If you bite down on gold, it is soft, and should bend to your bite. You see, fake gold is made up of different metals, making it nearly impossible to bend. Unless you have the bite strength of steal! With all joking aside, it is a simple and fast way to make sure you are not buying fake gold. So good luck and learn as much as you can to protect yourself from fake gold.
