withdrawn 10g Gold Bar - Perth Mint

[Blinny]

Greetings Fine People of the Forum of Silver!

Parting ways with my 10g Gold Perth bar, frankly it's attitude has caused us to grow apart and I no longer wish to maintain the relationship.

Asking £575

I will include Royal Mail special delivery to sweeten the deal.

Bank transfer please.

Thanks for taking the time to have a gander.

UPDATE***

A few people have asked if I have had it verified, I haven't, so I'll pop to my local jewellers or pawn shop and see if they can do that for me, unless anyone near Wigan can do that 🙂 thanks

@Blinny Its probably an optical illusion, but can i see a side profile picture of that bar, please. Its looks quite thick head on.

It is quite thick, it nearly has the dimensions of a typical 5g bar but it has the extra junk in the trunk.

I just added it to my comment above, it used a different camera app though and had to refresh a couple times, can you see it?

I've a few further questions but will pm.

I would advise closing the listing until verification has taken place.

Agree with this 100%

Sorry to say but doesn't look right this bar too thick, lettering not sharp on Perth mint

[Leonmarsh]

Kangaroo foot bleeding into bar edge 

Writing of Perth mint and swan logo mushy 

And serial number 7 is off 

[Leonmarsh]

@Blinny if you bought from a dealer or on here it should be sortable if proven not authentic

The most faked gold bar on the planet. NB: I am in no way saying that the bar in question is not legit. For info only

Cheers guys, I got it off a friend last year, he says he got it off eBay from Italy. I'm taking it into a couple places tomorrow to get checked out. I'll update this post and let you all know!

I'd just open and weigh, jewelers will likely do it anyway. If its not 10g then you will know its a dud. You will loose £10-£15 if real..but have peace of mind.

I found my scales! I weighed it in the card an it's 17.2g which seems a bit heavy. I just messaged my friend to see if it's ok to break it out the card because he was guna refund me and try an get his money back from eBay if it's fake but it's more than 12months ago

The fake ones weigh 9.6g exactly

Ebay won't do anything, seller is long gone with money unfortunately. Break it open and weigh, my guess is underweight/overweight most likely.

Great spot originally James. Be good to do a thickness measure after the weight check. That bar looks twice as thick as it should

Yes my concerns exactly.

[Leonmarsh]

It's the thickness rather than the weight and the fact the kangaroos foot is hanging off the bar

I’d leave it intact and get your jeweller to use an XRF on it first.

The bar should look like this

No, don’t open it contact the seller it’s a legally binding contract inform the seller of this.

eBay won’t intervene but contact the seller.

If you open it he’ll say you’ve swapped it out.

The bar is numbered it proves it’s the same one.

It's the edge that has me worried, the roos foot going in but the bordered edge is different, this bar has like a single border (if you get what I mean) where the others seem to have a double border
