Questions & Comments
It is NOT clad. I have been buying and selling these for years, if it says 1 troy oz of .999 silver then it is not clad. It is also in an “Air tight” the plastic container it is in keeps it from tarnish and scratches. It is also called a silver bar not a coin. Not trying to but in just like to know that the buyer and seller know what it actually is so that neither party gets gypped.
1 TROY OZ 999 SILVER COIN & 1troy oz 100 mills 999 silver big difference. You should of put 100 mills in the original title so everyone would know it was copper with silver plate. I'm very disapointed in the title and discription of the Maple Leaf Bar/Coin.
I think one mistake sparks people to harp on it to make others feel dumb. Don't let this auction cause you to drop the site. Ignorance plagues this world and unfortunately you have to deal with a fraction of it right now. Hope to see other auctions from you!
Just a note to newer silver stackers - currently there are 1 troy ounce "100 mills" silver bars available. These are NOT silver bars, despite being labelled 999 and 1 troy ounce.
Essentially these are silver plated copper bars, with the silver plate supposedly being 100 mills thick. Now there's no such measurement as a "mill" (at least not that I can find a definition for) - however there is a measurement known as a "mil", also known as a "thou" - which is 1/1000th of an inch - so 100 mils would be 2.54mm. If a bar is 100 mils plated (on both sides) then over 5mm of the overall thickness would be silver....
Now a typical silver 1 ounce bar has the following dimensions: 50mm high x 29mm wide x 2.10mm thick... these bars measure 50mm x 28mm (essentially the same), yet the claimed thickness of the silver plating alone is over twice the thickness of a genuine bar!
Anyway avoid these bars like the plague - they are NOT bullion, they are NOT investment grade, and are absolutely worthless. Experienced silver buyers know this already, but such sellers prey on the uninformed to buy their rubbish silver plated items being sold as bullion, with no explanation that they are plated.
Wow! Bet you weren't trying to start a war when you listed this! Geez! Don't let it get to you! People can bid or not bid! I think you put enough info for a person to make a good decision! Good luck! :-)
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be harsh, but I see it came out that way.....I was simply stating facts to inform potential buyers. These art bars are highly collectible- unfortunately the mints that produce them can be quite unscrupulous. Legally, the bar should be marked as clad...the use of the word mills (not even a real word in this sense!) is to mislead people. I did NOT mean the seller was misleading anyone, she has been honest from the start! But sometimes we need to do a bit of research before selling a potentially expensive item.
sheesh.. it's not like this item is selling on ebay or she is trying to make tons of money or scam anyone.. these items are being given out for FREE , using points, not money, also the person is mailing it free of charge.. if you dont like the item then go look somewhere else.. and give her a break..- Rain
The word mill indicates this item is silver-plated, not solid silver. The term 'mil' when electroplating silver refers to 1/1000". The word mill (with 2 Ls) is simply a misuse, meant to mislead the unwary. If the bar does not say COPY or specifically state that it is plated or clad, it may even be illegal to buy and sell in the US.
This bar is clad silver and not solid silver.Soild silver would not have the mills on the bar.It would just read .999 pure silver or just .999 or more 9s and say silver.Good luck on this and thank you for offering it.
