<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 34495, member: 68"]I've seen few fake bars. Most are base metal which are marked as being 1 Oz silver. The double eagle presidential series has been said to be plagued by such issues. There are also some old bars that are faked but usually are good silver, they just aren't really old. Many 100 Oz Engelhardt bars have three large holes drilled through them lenghtwise and the silver replaced with a base metal. These bars are virtually impossible to detect by sight or weighing. They are usually found because they don't "ring" properly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
