    Hi all
    Am I right to say that these bars aren't from the one and only Australian Bullion Company ?
    Are these worth hanging onto ? They test .999+FS
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks mate
    Not much info available on these. I’ll bet there’s a good story behind them.

    These bars are mid to late 2000s at best. More likely late.

    I wouldn't use them to keep a door open, but that's just me.

    The Melbourne based company used the ABC logo to take advantage of the specific wording in the GSTR 2003/10 which argues that the ABC brand is recognised as investment within its market and not subject to GST.

    It's a long story, but suffice it to say this version of ABC is not the LBMA registered outfit it seems eager to be confused with.

    They do sell (the real) ABC Sydney's bars though.
