How to Spot a Fake Maple Leaf
Counterfeit 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf coins are increasingly common. Use the acoustic verifier above as your first line of defense, then check these key red flags:
- 🚨Incorrect weight (should be exactly 31.1g)
- 🚨Wrong diameter (should be 38mm)
- 🚨Flat or dull ping instead of clear bell tone
- 🚨Missing or fake security features (radial lines, micro-engraved leaf)
Tip: Sophisticated counterfeits can fool visual inspection alone. Always use the acoustic verifier above alongside precise weight and dimension measurements.
