So today I did a purchase of 2 10oz perth mint silver bars. I went home and decided to weigh them, they both weigh 310.6gm each. Perfect. I thought whilst im at it, ill weigh my other perth mint ones. They all weighed around 310.6gm except one which weighed 312.3gm. This one looks the most worn with a red tinge on the top stamp of the bar (toning?). Also a little concerned as the bit where it says 999 the bottom of the 9's are worn out and it looks like the 999 wasn't stamped as hard as the others because there is no part of a square around the 999.

Me being over cautious or does this seem suspicious to you? Bars I bought today are perfect though

Depends where you bought them. ;)
 
Dont have any 10 oz bars to weigh and compare, but Im sure lots of others can for you.

Not surprised that they are overweight, but no idea if 10 or so grams is the norm.
 
Its only around 2gm over so nothing major, just concerned since its the only one overweight, the only one with a red tinge and the only one with no square around 999

Old style stamp? Yeah I've got one it weights few grams over. No biggy. I think it's 313g
