A Few Handy Definitions

BULLION- Pure form of precious metal (gold, silver, palladium or platinum) in the form of bars or ingots, at least 99.5% pure.
BULLION COINS- Legal tender, not intended for general circulation; made for the purpose of investing in precious metals, at least 99.5% pure.
CLAD- Manufacturing method; does not indicate content.
A clad coin consists of outer layers of one metal bonded to a core of a different metal.
GRAIN- 15.43 grains = 1 gram
GRAM- 31.1 grams = 1 troy ounce
MAGNET TEST- Only proves an item is NOT precious metal.
Will not prove an item IS precious metal; most metals (aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, gold, silver) aren't magnetic.
In fact, ferromagnetism occurs in very few substances; common ones are iron, nickel, cobalt, & certain rare earth metals (gadolinium, neodymium & samarium).
MILLS- Misused by unscrupulous sellers to sell plated items to the unwary- supposed to infer plating thickness.
PLATED- A very thin layer of metal deposited on the surface of another metal.
ROLLED/FILLED GOLD- A sheet of gold applied to a base metal, thicker than gold plating- gold content must be at least 1/20th total weight of item.
TROY- Weight system customarily used for precious metals. There are 12 troy ounces/troy pound rather than 16 ounces/pound in the avoirdupois system.

The gold bar comes in your choice of a traditional blue, Bear & Bull, or Support Our Troops assay card. I wrap the assay card in foam & pack it in a bubble mailer and ship with tracking.
