    Weigh it on digital scales, usually a good indicator.

    A further update the Scottsdale silver I bought is fake took them down to Melbourne and peter Strich put it on his equipment no silver at all. Got my money back through PayPal and they have been taken off ebay. The measurements checked out ok but the sound was wrong and the weight was different over the 5 ingots. So I will stick the ingots on the wall to remind me. the ebay member id is imalkin45

    I've bought silver off eBay..
    From; Sammysilver (350) 100% feedback, crafty-Ted (902) 100% feedback, Davew6138 (673) 100% feedback, & h.I.aust (formerly hulley_au)(34) 100%

    & bars from Bullion Money, since they are a sponsor of this site my guess is their fine, anyone have any comments on the eBay sellers though?

    They look real to me. Do they have an array of SSS's on the back?

    How could you not be convinced they are fake when he said they look the same front and back?

    Everyone knows about the reoccurring S on tbe back..

    But it is only going to get worse as the silver price increases. Will people also try to copy legal tender? Or say the 10oz Perth Mint bars? What penalties exist in the law for copying these?
