Wanted to Borrow List

Decided to keep this separate from the main FakeBullion.com thread for easier organization.

These are all items for which I have a fake in hand, and am seeking a genuine item to collect data and scan so I can do a comparison and add the item to the Fake Bullion Database.

This is a low budget operation, relying entirely on user contributions at this point (advertising revenue is next to nothing so far). For some low-premium silver items it might make more sense for me to just buy the item outright, but for gold and high-premium silver I am looking to borrow from the community. I will only need the items for a few days. I will give you a "special thanks" credit on the database pages for any items you loan me (of course only if you want it). If you would like to donate the genuine item, I will scan and document it, then trade or sell the item and recycle the funds to acquire more needed items.

I generally do not want to scan/photograph items through packaging, so if you have a sealed item or do not wish to have the capsule opened, I probably can't use it. The exception would be items listed as "in assay card," in which case I want to scan/photograph/weigh the item in the sealed card and do not need to open it.

This is only a partial list and I will be updating it regularly. If you need clarification on any of the items on the list, let me know.

Looks like 78 items on my first pass. Many more to go

I recently spent 40+ hours organizing a mess of fakes and updating my spreadsheet. I moved the "Wanted to Borrow" list to the FakeBullion.com site so I can point multiple audiences there and edit and update one central list. There are currently over 300 items on the list, there are a few dozen I still need to add, and I haven't even started to go through the pile of counterfeit 90% silver and pre-33 gold.

Hi Nate, I think I have some of those items. I'll go over the list later and let you know.

Happy New Year!
