In the aftermath of the recent stories [4]about Tungsten-filled 10 ounce gold bars discovered in midtown Manhattan, there have been two broad sentiments expressed by the precious metals community: i) that this is as many have expected, and that of the physical inventory in circulation, much is fake (particularly that held in official hands, either via ETFs or in sovereign repositories which for various reasons still can not be publicly assayed) and ii) is the comfort that while it is relatively easy and cost-effective to use tungsten to falsify larger gold bars and bricks, those who own primarily gold coins are safe as for some reason, it is less economic, feasible or widespread to counterfeit smaller precious metal denominations. Sadly, while i) may be true, ii) is patently false. The proof comes courtesy of a firm called ChinaTungsten Online [5]which proudly markets its broad "tungsten-alloy services" including, you guessed it, the gold plating of various tungsten formulations among them "gold" bricks, bars and, yes, coins. Oh did we mention a Chinese company openly advertizes its tungsten gold-plating and precious metals replication services, something which the tabloid [6]media's CTRL-C/V majors openly mock as improbable conspiracy theory. Well, as they say, it is only conspiracy theory until it becomes conspiracy fact.

Of course, for those for whom gold coins are not enough, the Chinese firm is happy to provide every other imaginable formulation. Such as Tungsten fake gold bars: [10]
With all that said, perhaps the best use of the above mentioned services would be for a contingency case in which the government of country X, Y and/or Z were to decide to replicate a certain 1930's executive order [12]in a global coordinated attempt to devalue the fiat system not on a relative basis, something which fiat printers are more than capable of, but on an absolute basis by confiscating all the gold in circulation. It just might make such a confiscation more complicated if all the usual suspects were to hand over to said governments not gold but gold-plated Tungsten, which in turn would make the endgame, i.e. the terminal currency devaluation of fiat, that much more problematic.
It would be truly ironic if in the end the same Tungsten that is now the bane of precious metals dealers everywhere would be the reason why central bank X, Y and/or Z was unable to destroy its currency sufficient fast.

Well at least the company that markets itself as proving "all kinds of tungsten fake gold coin" has extensive disclaimers. The point is that anyone wishing to, can procure tungsten-plated gold coins with one simple telephone call.Tungsten is the only lower value metal that has a specific density close enough to gold to fabricate passable counterfeit pieces of the same size and weight as genuine Pictures of tungsten fake gold coins and ingots. Over the years, there have been a few isolated reports of smaller tungsten fake gold coin found to have been drilled to remove some of the gold which was replaced with tungsten. However, tungsten fake gold coin is far more profitable to fabricate larger original bars of tungsten that are then scanning gold.

Be very careful about automatically believing any story you may hear. For your own protection, tungsten fake gold coin would be better to take physical possession of the smaller sizes of tungsten fake gold coins and now, and know that what you own genuine solid tungsten fake gold coin.

Detecting a high-quality tungsten fake gold bar would be extremely difficult. It would likely require significant and material alterations to the bar being tested and this would negatively affect the marketability if its hallmark veracity were vindicated. Some applications require the tungsten to be fake gold. The main reasons for tungsten fake gold bar are to protect the wire from corrosion or to solder it to other metals.There are many more options, for those who are so inclined, to reinforce their inventory of gold-plated tungsten products on the company's website. And naturally, in addition to the bolded applications of tungsten gold bars, one can conceive of some more. Especially in verticals in which the actual end product does not exist, and all that does exist is a receipt claiming gold is at the end of a rehypotehcation chain. One wonder how many invoices CIF Liberty 33 or various other gold ETF secret "warehouses" one could find upon rummaging through the garbage behind the firm's headquarters in Xiamen [11].

Xiamen Tungsten denies ownership of huge Jiangxi mine

Xiamen Tungsten issued a statement June 7 denying that it has a controlling stake in the company that discovered the world's largest tungsten mine in southeast China's Jiangxi province, worth an estimated 300 billion yuan (US$47.15 billion).
The company was linked to the mine after an article about its discovery was published on the website of the Ministry of Land and Resources on June 5, because Xiamen Tungsten was one of the businesses that signed a partnership with the local authorities on alloys in April 2011.
Xiamen Tungsten's statement rebutted the article's claim that Xiamen Tungsten owned a stake in Jiangxi Jutong, the owner of the rights to the newly discovered mine.
According to Xiamen Tungsten, the article probably mistook the company for Xiamen Sanhong, another Xiamen-based firm which holds a 30% stake in Jiangxi Jutong, since Xiamen Tungsten's chairman is also a member of Xiamen Sanhong's board.
The primary shareholder of Jutong, Xiamen Tungsten said, is the Beijing-based Judian Investment, which controls a 53% stake in the Jiangxi company.
An official at Xiamen Tungsten admitted to the China Securities Journal that relations among the tungsten companies are complicated, as the two Xiamen-based companies have a supply contract.
The mine in Jiangxi is not worth the 300 billion yuan reported in the article, the official added, because the ore yielded by the mine is of a lower grade, containing only 0.16% tungsten trioxide.
Given the reference price of around 130,000 yuan (US$20,430) per ton for tungsten ore, as set by the industry group in Jiangxi, the official said the value of the proven reserve of 1.06 million tons in the mine will likely only be around 136.7 billion yuan (US$21.48 billion).
Lin also pointed out that the extraction and processing cost of such low-grade ore would be higher. Considering the costs and the government cap on the mine's output, Lin said, the mine's profitability is still in question.
