This is an easy test, but it’s not an all-encompassing or fool-proof way to determine whether your gold is real. Something as weak as a fridge magnet will not be useful, but stronger magnets that you can find in specialized hardware stores or in common objects such as women’s purse latches, children’s toys, or even in old unused hard drives will be strong enough to perform this test.

Hold a magnet up to the item. Gold is not a magnetic metal, so if it pulls towards, or sticks to the magnet, it’s fake. However, just because it doesn’t react to the magnet doesn’t mean it is real, as non-magnetic metals are used in counterfeit pieces as well.

We have all seen a movie where a prospector bites down on a piece of gold to test it. We also see Olympic athletes bite on their “gold” medal when they receive it. Whether that is of any use is another story altogether.

1.Bite down on your gold with moderate pressure.

2.Examine your gold for any markings. In theory, real gold will show indents from your teeth; deeper markings indicate purer gold.
This is actually not a recommended test, as you can damage your teeth. Not to mention that lead is even softer than gold and gold-plated lead will appear to be gold when you bite it.

The first thing to do to check if you have real gold is to look at it. Look for particular signs that point to real gold.

Inspect the piece for official markings. A stamp will indicate either fineness (1-999 or .1-.999) or karat (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K or 24K). A magnifying glass will make this easier.
An older piece might not have a visible marking due to wear.
Counterfeit pieces can often have a marking that appears authentic; more testing may be needed either way.

2.Look for noticeable discoloration. It is important to check for discoloration in areas that face constant friction (typically around the edges).
If the gold seems to be wearing off and showing a different metal beneath it, you probably have a piece that is only gold plated.

You do not have to be an expert in coins to identify fake coins. While it does help to be trained in identifying counterfeit money, there are relatively easy ways to tell if a coin is indeed fake or not. By knowing these tricks and what to look for, you will be able to properly detect if a coin is in fact a fake or is a legitimate piece.

1.Hold the coin in question sideways and against an original coin. Inspect the sides of the coin in question as well as the thickness. A legitimate coin will usually vary in color and texture as opposed to having one solid color and texture. Also, compare the thickness and weight of the two coins to ensure they are both relatively the same thickness and weight.

2.Look at the characteristics of the coin in question and compare it with the legitimate coin. Nearly every coin has a certain impression and mark, and if the coin is authentic it will have these. Look at what stands out in the coin (the design, the shape of images on the coin, and so on) and make sure the word "COPY" or the letter "R" is not stamped on the coin. Look to see that every piece of this coin is identical to the legitimate coin.

3.Drop both coins carefully and listen to the sound of each coin as it hits the surface. If the coins do not sound relatively the same, you have a right to be suspicious. Feel around on the coins with both of your thumbs. See if each unique trait of the coins feels exactly the same to the touch. Finally, place a magnet over the coin in question and ensure the coin is not attracted to the magnet. If it is, you have a fake, as some fake coins are made of steel because it is easier to make a fake using stee.
