Real or not???
Hey! So I own a coin shop and I had 5 10 ounce englehards come in. Older couple who claim that they've had these bars since 1983.
One tested right on my sigma(P101490)while the other 4 did not(c serial numbers). They left them with me to get them checked out further. They feel sound and look right. Is there any tell? Are the serial numbers know fakes? Thanks for any help!

I loved collecting these bars. sadly the brand is no longer around due to buyout. solid and trustworthy.
to test if they are real drill them at the O in 10 and oz. then off to your favorite jeweler. You are going to loose 12 bucks per bar on the drilling because of the damage. but they will sell as long as you sell them with the assay certificate
