Fake or Genuine PAMP Gold Bars - Could You Tell ?

[Pete]

I came across this Youtube video showing some fake PAMP gold bars in Veriscan packaging.
Okay the expensive XRF tester showed the fake straight away.

BUT .....

Would you have spotted this ?

I know the fake bar is thicker but unless you had a genuine bar to compare alongside as in the video, I wonder ( and it is kind of scary ) how many people / stackers might have been fooled.
Appearance and packaging is excellent so be careful.

Thanks for sharing, Last month I visited Dubai and had similar experience, Tons of fake stuff in the gold market. I am mostly into coins and most of the shops were selling fake sovereigns With 22 and 21 Carat markings on them it was funny telling shop keepers those coins were fake   🤣 Barcodes on bars were not showing any results... 

here are a few pictures from the Dubai Gold Souq for gold lovers.

Why not simply authenticate using the (free) Pamp Veriscan smartphone app?
