I recently got a one gram IGR support our troops that is in assay from Bullion Exchange. I had it tested by an XRF scanner yesterday and it kept coming back plated. She tested a half ounce and quarter ounce American Gold Eagles. They both tested perfect so it wasn't the machine I don't believe. Anyone else hear about any of these being fake or faked? Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
 
Very interesting can you please share photos? I have read of fake IGRs but I didn't think there was much of an international market for them. Was it a hand held XRF device or different?
 
It was a hand held big yellow scanner. She did it many different ways but it kept coming back as plated. As I wrote the two AGE's came back fine. Here's a front and back photos

It says the file is to big to upload. Both pics won't upload
 
To resize them you can find a website or you can SMS them to yourself/screenshot them.

I haven't never seen that branding before. If it is fake would you be willing to sell it to me so that I can inspect it and compare with other IGR bars? Hopefully I'll be able to do a write up to make sure we can expose IGR fakes.

No I got it in a trade and the guy said send it back and he'll replace it with a maple gram. So that's going to be my plan of action. He's a good guy and he'll make it right. He can figure it out about it being fake or not. I'll keep this thread posted though on what he does with it.
