We had to slip some fake ones in to replace the gold we stole for the Iran deal.
At the end of the day, if the gold is real, the markings do not matter
Unauthorized, PIRATE gold, huh.
Yeah, right.
This hints at why I only do junk silver.
One can google “chinese gold” and find sites that advertize fake gold bars. They actually have a pretty thick gold coating. The idea is that they are great “sales contest” prizes.
They are tungsten filled and, apparently, tungsten and Gold weigh pretty closely the same.
Gold is gold......
Possible attempt to disrupt the global economy? ...It’s Trumps fault crowd.
There are fake gold coins and bars available on Alibabba and eBay.

One can see why china’s been so hurried buying gold up from outside sources. They buy good bars and then create fake bars to put back into circulation. Its known they are the ones that have wrapped tungsten with a thin layer of gold and made fake bars this way.
One of the hidden risks of buying gold. Would you even know if it wasn’t gold?
Since they have the bars, and it’s real gold, send the bars to a legit refinery and recast them. Too late to lament where they came from.
A couple of my gold bars are stamped, “ACME”. Should I worry?
