RE: Anyone seen a fake gold or silver bar?
People have been warning about the fakes for some time now. I've been buying my metal at JM Bullion for years now. Good price, free shipping, and insurance over a certain price which isn't that much... Can't remember it now but you can check it out on their website. I price them against APMEX and SD Bullion every so often and JM bullion is usually the best deal overall... SD Bullion charges shipping on small orders which kills the pricing.

I buy from JM Bullion too. I've been very pleased with them. You can also quickly do the ice test to see if your silver is real. Take two pieces of ice. Put them on a flat surface. Put the silver coin on one of the ice cubes. If the ice cube with the coin melts faster than the one without you can be pretty sure you have a silver coin. Silver is a metal that naturally conducts heat thus melting the ice faster than just a sitting piece of ice. I stay away from Ebay too risky. They are getting very good at making fake silver coins right down to the weight. Tooooo risky.
Cool tip on the ice!!! going to check it out..
