<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1462708, member: 5233&quot;]Anyone who is going to invest in gold should do their do diligence prior to doing so.&nbsp; Lets assume for the moment, someone bought this piece and then tried to sell it as gold.&nbsp; There are several things wrong with it.&nbsp; First of all, I know it says it weighs a troy ounce...but do the dimensions of the bar make sense?&nbsp; Would a true gold bar be the same size?&nbsp; Someone who has bought gold before would likely know the &quot;feel&quot; of a gold bar.&nbsp; The standard dimensions for a 1oz gold bar are 42x24x2mm and this bar is 44x28x3mm.&nbsp; I know that gold bars can vary in dimensions...but all three cannot be bigger.&nbsp; This bar is clearly too big.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, it has no manufacture&#039;s stamp on it.&nbsp; Just about every bullion bar I have seen are labeled by who produced it.&nbsp; Not having one is a red flag to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, it is clearly a souvenir piece.&nbsp; It&#039;s not an original Nazi bar because the logos used on the bar are not historically accurate (and if it were, it would probably be very hard to sell).&nbsp; The eagle clutching the iron cross is not an original Nazi image...the eagle clutched the swastika in it&#039;s talons.&nbsp; So, this is a contemporary piece designed to appear Nazi without using any of the &quot;offensive&quot; insignias.&nbsp; Pieces like this are normally cheap souvenir pieces...I have never seen them made from precious metals.&nbsp; So, IMHO all the evidence is there to determine this bar is not pure gold.&nbsp; One just has to think about it for a moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
