    Hi,

    I recently bought one Pamp 1 oz gold lunar series (Horse) and I have noticed a small black dust on the gold, inside the pamp assay card. I’m a bit surprised because this assay has never been opened and comes from a reputable dealer (bullion exchanges).

    Has anyone already noticed something like that? See the red arrow on the picture below.
    Thanks a lot!
    PS: second question is about the imperfect/scratched edge on the left side, is that normal too?

    I can't comment on the black spot but I am surprised it's there.
    The edging is fine, it's just part of the process and edges can't always be perfect so nothing to worry about from in relation to that.

    Firstly Welcome :)

    And secondly......that spot!!......WOULD DRIVE ME CRAZY :confused:

    Must say I'm shocked to see it in a pamp , but I have had it in a 1oz silver bar plastic sleave.

    That's why I gave up on anything that I can't touch. "If you can't touch it, you don't own it" :D

    Sorry in advance - that spot may be horse poop

    Definitely should not be there. Is it an option to take it back and ask?

    Haha the horse poop!
    Thanks for your responses guys!

    This morning I went to the dealer's store and they agreed to exchange it against another one (that has no dust inside).
    Thanks Bullion Exchanges, I really appreciated!

    It's a lesson learnt for me, always inspect front and back inside the card when purchasing Pamp assay bars....

    I hate to say this but if you had actually read the thread the answer is there (twice mind you) and also the fact he has resolved the issue almost two weeks ago @mrsilverservice .
