<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24739446, member: 27832&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t expect Costco to pass fake bars (knowingly or unknowingly). But when you go to <i>sell</i> those bars, you&#039;re just some guy with gold bars, and how does your potential buyer know <i>you</i> can be trusted? I mean, you could show your receipts from Costco, but how do you prove that you haven&#039;t swapped out the good bars for fakes?</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe a knowledgeable-enough buyer can distinguish fake bars as reliably as fake coins. To me, though, coins are easier to authenticate, and that makes them easier to move.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if you never intend to sell your gold, that probably doesn&#039;t matter. But in that case, does it <i>really</i> matter whether the gold is real in the first place? After all, a fake bar that you <i>believe</i> is real gives you the same tingly feeling as a real one...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
