    Hi all,

    Wondering if someone can help identifying some silver bullion I have stumbled across.

    First of all are the 1/2 oz (I think) Koalas in some blue packaging, they are sealed so I don't really want to open them to see what they actually are. I am guessing they are just standard silver koalas just a bit confused as to why they are packaged that way.

    Next are some 20g silver pandas which I have no clue on, these are front and back pictures

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks

    First thing first, what I will do b4 jumping into any conclusion.
    Take to any bullion dealer to test it with XRF to verify the metal content for them.


    The Koala doesn't seem very legit.
    It doesn't have any kind of stamp on it or what so ever.
    The Koala imprint is not very clear.



    The Panda , I wouldn't want to touch at all.
    They could be cladding. If they are silver would consider as medal only.
    The metal color doesn't looks right.

    As metals price goes up these Fakes items will floods the market.

    All this items may not hold any value at all.

    here there everywhere
    I do remember that packaging , could be a Downies product , without opening the packaging no way to tell .
    The toning on the Panda's does look good ,without getting them XRF tested ,no way to tell .
    Otherwise spend hours on google images
