Message Subject HOLY SHIT! 83 Tons Of Fake Gold Bars: Gold Market Rocked By Massive China Counterfeiting Scandal!

It's surprising they'd use copper instead of tungsten. Tungsten has a specific weight (density) very close to gold, difficult to tell them apart.

I wondered the same! Maybe they were sealed containers, plastic sleeves etc. I don't know anyone who would take a 1oz gold bar out of a sealed plastic sleeve to attempt to test it. Let alone if they did they wouldn't scrape it for an acid test or cut into it for the same reason. Most people relish the quality of such a piece and handle them with kid gloves so to speak!

Please, I have drilled gold and silver bars. They sell just the same only diff is you know its real. Now come on and crawl out of your Mama's basement!

These days any ultrasound probe will reveal a counterfeit gold bar. Or silver, for that matter
