Message:: [QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1481945, member: 37498"]That sounds like a reasonable solution.  FeeBay could require sellers of clad/plated items to have one of those words immediately following the precious metal.  i.e. Silver Clad or Gold Plated.  Much more honest than "1 Troy Ounce .999 Pure Solid Silver WWII Bullion Wow! Look! Genuine clad No RESERVE!" The way the title that 19Lyds posted reads, I'm not sure if the item is silver clad, or "wheat cent clad". :rollling: ...and the whole "In Clad We Trust" as an indicator that it is not what it claims to be on the front?  Gimme a break.  Sure, it has the word "clad" in it, but borrowing from the Made in China example, what about a product that says "Made in USA" on the front, and "In China we trust" on the back?  Does that mean it's OK because everyone knows that "In China we trust" means it's actually made in China? Or how about a package of meat that says "100% Pure Ogranic Free Range Grass Fed Beef" and on the back it says "In Horses We Trust"? :rollling:  Surely nobody could ever mistake that for beef because it says "Horses" on the back. Also, the script "In Clad We trust" on the back of a 1 oz bar is awfully small.  Much smaller than the photos shown here would lead one to believe.  I'd have to wonder if these are being produced and sold to people for the purpose of taking advantage of the elderly.  I know my 84 year old neighbor across the street would not be able to read it and would likely believe he's actually buying 1 ounce of silver, because to his eyes, "In Clad We Trust" looks a whole lot like "In God We Trust".[/QUOTE]
