I think the coin shop should refuse to return the bar and tell the guy to call the police that would be theft |

OK, better idea: the coin shop should just call the police and tell them that they have a counterfeit gold bar that someone tried to sell to them. The police arrive and take it. I seriously doubt they'd get it back. The bottom line here is that the bar needs to be destroyed. Otherwise, it will continue to be used to defraud people.

I guess I should have posted a followed a update to this post. The shop work with the customer. ebay did not want to do anything for the guy. But PayPal did. The shop wrote up a letter. Told what tests we did and what NTR Test results were. PayPal refunded the money for the guy who bought it. We are not sure what they did with the ebay seller. |

After my research of sales on ebay, of the last 1,000+ Perth Mint gold bars on ebay sold by sellers with less than 150 positive, legitimate seller feedbacks, 75% of Perth Mint gold bars sold on ebay are counterfeits produced in China. That's right, 3 out of every 4 bars sold are fakes, when sold by sellers with less than 150 positive, legitimate seller feedbacks. Why would anyone sell gold at spot price minus 10% to 15% in ebay and PayPal fees? Think about it.Get your gold authenticated! Later in life, when its time to cash out, you get nothing! |

I would also like to see the pictures, I already found some of these coins being openly sold in (Not Allowed).com. Apparently they can even pass tests according to the supplier. Anybody of you ever seen such coins in real?
