2. INTRODUCTION For as long as gold has been considered as a valuable asset, there have been several counterfeits trying to exploit it. Individuals all around the world, consider saving in gold as a fortune. It is said if there was any indicator to measure wealth around the world, it would definitely be gold. With all the value that gold adds to one’s asset, security and purity act as a scarecrow in the idea of saving in gold. Ensuring the purity of gold is hard to claim. Gold might have a stamp with a particular purity mark, but it isn't always a certification of its actual gold content. Some gold products of low quality have a higher fineness marking. Additionally, there are gold-plated fakes as well. In such a case, how can one test if gold is real? But before proceeding to answering this question, let’s recall gold’s key features.
3. Properties of Gold Gold is a natural element that is known since ancient times for its color and precious usage in jewelry. Below are some of these unique properties of gold: • Conducts electricity • Resistant to corrosion • Exceptionally malleable and ductile • Catalytic properties • Biocompatible
4. How to test fake gold? Magnet Test Gold is not magnetic, so you can use a magnet to determine whether what you have is actually a cheap base metal. This is not an all-encompassing test, as it may consist of another non-magnetic metal, but it certainly helps to narrow down the field. Scratch Test For this test you need a non-glazed ceramic plate, and the goal is to drag your coin/bar across the plate, scratching the surface. If the scratch is black or grey, it’s not real gold. If the scratch is gold, then it is genuine. Bear in mind that this technique may damage your gold. Acid Test For a bit of etymological history, the term “acid test” actually comes from gold testing. This test involves nitric acid and can be dangerous to you and damaging to your piece, so it is often best left to an expert. Density Gold is a very dense metal, and the purer it is, the denser it is. Therefore, you can run a density test to determine whether what you have is real or not.
