Be careful of eBay seller gold24kplating2011 not only is the name totally suspicious but he only has 3 other sells so he has 100% positive feedback. Selling scotsdale bars Edit: and yes they do look poor quality
Don't know if its been mentioned already, when talking about buying off eBay; scottsdalesilver is a good legit seller. I get my Scotties from him on eBay. Just thrown that out der.
Well i never. I just got my order from a coin club and as a bonus they sent me some scotsdale. That was very nice of them. LOL i wonder if they are real? Will i ever know? Possum

Hi No1joey, Here is the other 1 oz I still own, the plastic it was in was part of the same strip of plastic pockets that yours came from, i.e. I had to cut them apart with scissors to sell them seperately. Ya'd think it's pretty unlikely that there would be a real one and a fake one in the same strip, so we can't use weight to decide whether they are genuine (unless you would like to double check the weight of yours) I did buy these in person from the lads at bullionbourse, they're up in Guildford, close to where I work, and as far as I know they are reputable. I'm not about to start filing down or putting acid on it. If you want you can sell it back to me at the same price as I sold it to you. I don't mind owning two again, I was going to buy two of them ugly little Buffalo rounds from bourse this week anyway. I reckon bullionbourse don't sell scam metal.
....and an Academy hand poured 10 oz I got from bullionbourse reads 10.3778 Gee I hope theres a margin there, otherwise Im out to Guildford for lunch tomorrow haha. I did file a tiny bit of the hand poured 10 oz, it isn't plated.
That's fine, anything close to 10.5 is good, you just don't want anything close to 11 or over as that's copper. I sent you a msg via eBay re the Scottsdale I agree I don't think it's fake, if it's from BB and was sealed... Might just be an unlucky ingot at 30.3 I've got 2 Scottsdales already and 2 buffalos and 2 PM koalas a panda and a maple and liberty I want to get an Austria philharmonic and pan americans and maybe one of those of Mexican ones, u know a bit of everything
Fake on left, (likely) genuine on right. The interlocked S are a different pattern, and lean left on fakes, right on real. Lefty loser, righty real. Burn these patterns into your brain.
They're all nice to look at. Don't forget to get a couple of them Kitco Cougars and the Tahu ones too I'm buying maybe two a fortnight, just buffalos while they are the cheapest at BB. Erm, I'll send you some money on Thursday, cheers.
Have spotted another fake on eBay, havent even bothered to replicate the double s's but have just used straight lines and dots instead
