Hello. I just received a 20g perth mint gold bar. This was purchased online from JM Bullion. I have been reading a lot about fakes today and am alarmed. I have no way to verify authenticity. I assume JM is considered to be a trustworthy vendor? One issue with the bar. It has a tiny imperfection in the matte finish. Under a loop on that spot it almost looks like the matte isn't uniform or is slightly worn off exposing more of a mirror finish underneath it. Is this indicative of a fake? I can't get a photo the area is just too small to photograph.
Don't worry about it, they won't all be perfect and a seller that size is likely bulk ordering them directly from Perth
J.M Bullion is one of the most trusted PM dealers out there, i would not be worried in the least Bought this from them a couple weeks back
