<p>[QUOTE=&quot;myownprivy, post: 3304897, member: 84588&quot;]You&#039;re probably just paranoid because Apmex has too much at stake to sell a fake/accidentally sell a fake. Thus, we would expect they would verify their items better than most. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, this illustrates exactly why I don&#039;t buy from Apmex anymore. Besides the higher than average prices, what they sold, even if it is authentic, looks sourced from a secondary market. It&#039;s not in a good shape. It does not look new. This is wrong and misleads the customer. What they sent you looks ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thirdly, this illustrates why I never buy gold in bar form. They&#039;re too easy to fake. You decrease your risk of fakes by buying full ounce gold with the best security features on the market: Gold Maple Leafs. You decrease your harm from fakes by buying other gold only in small fractional form, like 1/10 oz gold coins. Should one be fake, which is unlikely anyway, but if it is--your loss is only around $125ish dollars at any given time. When I buy full ounces, I ONLY buy Gold Maples with DNA authentication for dealers to verify and radial lines and year privy marks for anyone to visibly authenticate with the naked eye (or a loop, for the old people with bad vision). </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, while bullion scanners and wands are not perfect (sometimes gold plated items can skip by as authentic) you could have a dealer scan your Perth bar to see if it&#039;s real.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
