john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 10:01 am Phone or contact large gold silver or coin stores in your area if they have an XRF machine to xray this bar, pretend you wanted to sell it, most will not charge you. Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 10:47 am Ah thanks will do . Would it be worth silver bullion prices if it checks out ? Hard to prove to a seller its real I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 10:58 am There is no markings so at best it"s worth bullion, the store with the XRF if you make up some story of this being owned by your grand mother and you are trying to find it"s value. Ask nicely if you can photo the XRF reading or if store offers reasonable buy price Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 7:56 pm You could make up a story or even better just tell the truth and ask them for their assessment. I would consider it part of your costs of acquisition. I agree best case is something like 999 purity, but if it really was poured by some dude in his garage, then it might be more like 95% or 99%. Knowing the purity will be important to setting an accurate price when you are ready to sell.
