Thank you Sir.
I looked into this more deeply.
The main thing for me is the thickness of the bar.
To keep in mind that the original Certicard is 1,25 mm thick (measured with a caliber), 1 oz Perth Mint bar is 1,71mm thick.
It's really thin bullion. If the fakes are doublethe density, about 3 mm its so hard to tell difference.
The thinner the better, everything else being ok and "halal".
Mine 50 g bar is about 2,4-2,5 mm thick.
Even a 100g bar is a "thin" being 4,5 mm.
Does anyone have a side picture of these fakes?
Assuming that they are too fat? Tungsten out of the count...

Scaringly good pieces. I've personally own Perth Mint coins and bars since 2012. Lately with the new Certicard serialnumber font and new package makes me feel scared. How can I trust anymore.
Without a UV pattern these fakes are getting so close to a genuine.
There should be a additional security feature, hologram or QR code like PAMPs Veriscan.
or is there a hidden feature on Perth Mints we don't know? |
