ALEKS GREGORY - VERIFY THAT YOUR GOLD IS REAL
COINage Magazine
|December - January 2025
Aleks Gregory entered the coin and precious metals market four years ago as a collector and started trading bullion professionally shortly after. He utilized a Sigma Metalytics Pro verifier to confirm that his purchases were real and was astonished at the machine's capabilities.
-
Once launching his firm, AG Bullion LLC (agbullionllc.com) in 2021, he partnered with Sigma Metalytics and started distributing its verifiers. As of late 2024, he has sold over 4,000 units worldwide and stands as Sigma's largest global distributor.
The precious metals market has had an increasingly large number of counterfeits, and Gregory intends to continue to combat the problem by empowering investors and businesses with Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifiers.
How big of a problem is counterfeit precious metal coins and bars?
Counterfeit coins and bars have been an ongoing issue for years, but counterfeiters are becoming vastly more sophisticated. Consequently, fake precious metals are difficult to detect without proper verification equipment.
