Me personally, I’ve been dealing with the same guy since the 80’s. He, within the last decade bought an electronic device that scan’s metal and can tell you exactly what it is composed of. He is the guy that discovered the fake 100 oz. Englehard bars. There is one cut in half on display in his shop. Some of the pictures on line, I took with my work camera and up loaded. The FBI believes there are a few left in circulation. But they are most likely in someone’s safe, yet undiscovered. I only buy from him and an Indiana company out of Winchester Indiana, Silvertown. I trust both implicitly.I completely understand.
I even wonder when you buy at LCS or online, do you really know what's in the package? How many of us can tell?
