This is not a genuine gold bar from the Perth Mint! It's a fake. Here's a couple ways you can tell.

    Just got this exact fake off ebay from a seller that had over 60k feedback - this was for a 1 oz bar. I knew it was a fake immediately due to the thickness, kangaroo pattern on the back, and the serial number font. I did not have a problem getting a refund but I can only imagine how many uniformed people have been ripped off.
  • Good quality videos for such a tiny channel. Keep up the good work! I remember when I was at 5 subs and I could only dream of more than 100 but promise me. You will get there.

    Also, the packaging should be tamper evident. You would see “VOID” appear in the plastic that surrounds the bar as you open it.

    Wish you cut it in half with a hacksaw. I was curious to see if it was lead that had been electroplated with a thin layer of gold...

    I have an original Sigma PMV and from the looks of your readings on your pro, this bar would have tricked my PMV. The weight would have been a dead giveaway though. Did you do a magnet test on it?

    i thought it was an ounce bar due to the size being so big, easy to spot, 10 gms are small, very small

    I'm fairly new to gold. Is this something a person has to be careful of even buying through a bullion dealer such as SD Bullion, JM Bullion, US Gold Bureau, etc? Or is this more of a problem when dealing directly through individuals?

    Could it be a nordic gold ingot with a gold mirror finish?
  • @HardAssetsFTW
    Could you take some dimensions of the bar and/or packaging. Need more info!

    I am going to start collecting gold bars from a legit site , can I ask if I should remove the bar from the packaging or leave it in the packaging does it affect value

  • @nolver53
    Where was this bar purchased from?

    Scary stuff,better off buying gold maples,with the security on those its impossible to counterfeit
  • @MrSuperG
    What would ten g weigh in the packet if you didn’t open it up 16.1?
  • I wish some people would at least link them so we can use it for a movie prop os

    The fake ones tend to have the dotted serial number.
