Parts of that ad are a bit weird, though.

Quote:
Precious Metal Content: 1 oz bullion: gold
Shape: Bar gold bullion: 24k
Certification: Uncertified 24k bullion: shot
Metal Type: Gold casting grain: milling
Fineness: 1 milling grain: gold shot
Brand/Mint: Stuller Mint round: gold bullion
Year: 2015 solid gold: not scrap
Country/Region of Manufacture: United States refined gold: gold shot
gold shot: 2015

Here, they say 1 oz. rather that 1 dwt, bar rather than shot, and fineness of 1 rather than 0.9995. Also, what is 'Solid gold: Not scrap' or 'Gold shot: 2015' supposed to mean?

It is supposed to confuse the uninformed possible buyer into making a bad purchase. Nothing more, nothing less

I guess it could confuse someone into buying, but if you get confused into buying you probably shouldn't be looking at the internet at all. They have some saying about fools and their money cant quite think of what it is right now.
