Just out of curiosity, why aren"t these bars stamped "gold" or "AU"? They just have "1oz 9999 Fine". Link to Perth Mint product: http://www.perthmintbullion.com/au/Buy-Gold-Bars/1oz-Cast.aspx?productId=18
Why aren"t these bars stamped? It's an over-sight by The Perth Mint; if they had to change the "Stamping" they'd have to go through a mountain of paper-work, (LBMA) both hard copy and electronically to alter / add the words "Gold" or "Silver". Do you think the management would do that? Perhaps when the silver bullion bars go 9999 (Four Nines) they may take the initiative to include "Silver". There's no hope for the "Gold".
I would have thought the LBMA regulations would require the bar to be stamped with the "Ag" or "Gold".
I've got a 1kg Perth mint gold coin that says it's gold, but it's actually plastic. So how can we be certain it's not 1oz of silver, with gold plating? I reckon they've made a mistake.
