    Im 98% certain they are legit.

    You could get investigative and perform specific gravity tests on them.

    Due to the rarity of these bars, they probably cost a bit more too.

    Checking the density of objects, for pure silver
    it is aroudn 10.5 - dipping objects in water and weighing the difference.

    so any volume of silver will weigh 10.5 times more than the same volume of water.
    gold is around 19.5
    platinum around 22

    just search the forum for spec gravity tests, there was a great post which featured photos and detailed steps.

    but with those bars you dont need to test them, just weigh em.

    Nope - if anything being unknown generics, they're worth closer to spot than say a Silvertowne or other bar.

    Most likely genuine bars - the coin is definiitely legit.
