Here's what investors who have bought the Fisch say: 

"I bought the entire set of Fisch tools about a bit over a year ago. In the time I've had them, they've saved me from buying 2 fake sovereigns and 1 fake Mexican 50 peso...in short, they've paid for themselves many times over."
"I checked a 100 Corona coin today and it was fake, too large around, too thick, and not heavy enough. Your product saved me a fortune.  Thanks again"

"My Fisch wallets have already prevented me from purchasing 3 counterfeit Mexican 50 Peso coins … The coins were the exact correct weight but were slightly too thick and slightly too large in diameter. I have also found many British Sovereigns which checked oversize or too light. Many were from supposedly reputable dealers."

"I want to compliment you on the service and on the Fisch. I received my order on Monday afternoon and the timing couldn't have been better. I am going to look at some Kugerrands this afternoon. I am interested in the unit for checking the Maple Leaf so please email me back and let me know if I can order it using the card info you already have."A buyer on eBay wrote: " I love your tools. I got a counterfeit Maple the other day. Only passed the shape test. Made my job easy."

Here is part of a long email: “Well, ninety minutes later the Fisch had flagged up eight coins as being oversize in diameter, the coins would not pass through the slot, or fit in to the recess. All of the coins passed the weight test.  I also rejected one coin for being oversize and a strange color. The coin dealer replaced the nine coins with no problem at all.  So here i am, very pleased with my first effort in buying gold coins. The Fisch did all of the work, and made it so much easier for a complete novice like me to feel confident in my purchase. In closing Ken, i would like to say thank you for a brilliant invention.”

The Fisch is being faked!

If it does not say "The Fisch", it is not "The Fisch".  The fake Fisch does not have the Fisch logo or the name “The Fisch” on the front panel of the gauge. 


The US District Court, Southern District of New York issued an "Order of Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction", on July 15,  2010, against the counterfeiter. 


Not surprisingly the fake Fisch do not work: Here is what a buyer of the fake Fisch said: "As far as knowing that they were fakes it was easy, they didn't work." Read more of his email below.


Sometimes these fake Fisch are represented as being genuine Fisch, sometimes in an effort to evade, they are not called the Fisch.


Be aware that fake Fisch are sometimes offered by on eBay.  After Fisch Instruments' intellectual rights attorney notifies eBay, the listings are pulled by eBay through their VeRo program.    


Here is what a buyer of the fake Fisch said: "As far as knowing that they were fakes it was easy, they didn't work. Before I got the Fisch (fakers) I just used my scale and caliper. The fakers said my real gold coins were counterfeit. I knew something was wrong and I researched online and found a forum thread dedicated to the fake Fisch. The Fakers don't have the trademark and copyright symbols.  This time I went straight to your site and got wallet #2 and 4. "
