You don't want the sticker on the bar, might as well leave it in the packaging if you are doing that. 

Just thought it would look rubbish if / when the film all gets tatty 😁

Not a big deal don't get me wrong I love these bars and will happily leave in their packaging. I'm planning on stacking these 500g bars. Was just wondering what others thoughts were 😁

The 500 gram bars look awesome I only have the kilo's but will buy some of the 500g when I have the funds.

I have a kilo on order and will get the good delivery version too. Also waiting for the 500g minted bars to arrive. Chards look like they have such good deals on second hand bars but hardly in stock

Not hard to proove authenticity if you keep your receipt that is if you bought direct from the Baird

Once my vac pac machine turnes up next week all my bars that are not already sealed will be vac packed with there coa if they have them and without if they dont. My OCD wont allow for toning lol  

I agree that a shiny bar in its OG packaging will always sell a little easier than not. But at the end of the day silver is silver for the most part

Given it's a bar, can't you just give it a clean if it tones? Genuine question!

Both sold out. Like the look of the first one better if I was going to buy.

neither are quite as nice as BYB's shine 100oz bar.

Maybe some could but some of my bars have almost proof like finishes and cleaning will.scratch ect. Most of my bars will.be sold.at some point down the road so vac pac and in the safe they go👍

imo depend who are you selling to. if its a shop then it don't matter because with or without they are going to test it before buying it anyway (since anyone can copy/print a piece of paper)

if it's selling to another stacker (without testing ability) then a certification paper might help ease the worry)

It must be hit and miss this is how my bar came and the sticker is on the bar.  The bag is not sealed but resealable

Hi I know it’s an old post but have you noticed the weight on the bar and certificate are different I say this only because I have a issue with one of braid and co bar as the bar numbers don’t match  hope this makes sense
