It is a Deak Intl, Australia 1 oz gold ingot. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285241974420 What is the simplest way to verify these? With bullion coins, just a gram scale, micrometer and pinging the coin is enough. Report this Post to the Staff

It could be a shell of gold around a tungsten core. For that money you would be better served by buying a Krugerrand or other 1 oz gold coin. These would be much easier to sell in the future.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 9:22 pm I prefer coins and do not buy coins, ingots or gold on e-Bay. No return is a big red flag for me and not a long time seller. Caveat Emptor! Edited by dsking 04/19/2023 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
glenmorenee Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 01:45 am There seems to be whopping collector premiums on these vintage bars. The premium on this Valcambi bar seems pretty reasonable at ~$150 for a whole 50 grams. The premiums I see for 1 oz buffaloes is $150-$175. What am I not seeing here? Report this Post to the Staff
