Bogus led-filled "silver" bar

[TreasureHunter]

Hi,

I don't know if anything like this has been posted before or not, so I thought I'd share:

Lead-filled silver bar!

Isn't lead double the weight of silver, like just a bit heavier than gold? Surely the weight or size would be a give away.

Yeah that's a pretty famous example - think it was 1980s vintage.

I'd like to buy one of those, or something like it.

I'd like to run ultrasound tests.

Happy to pay estimated actual silver weight, plus 50%, plus postage.

Lead is 11.3g/cc, silver is 10.5 (so that bar should have been slightly overweight).

Gold is 19.3, not even in same ballpark.

To clarify.

I would like to buy a bar that has been purchased as "real" and discovered to be a fake
