I've been in the coin biz dealing in gold/silver for over 50 years. Phony gold, silver and platinum bars are nothing new. 100oz bars of silver get 3 holes bored in them, filled with proper amt of lead and sealed back up. Refiners used to get them and in the smelting process the lead would ooze out. Silver was used to make platinum bars. Gold plated 99.9 silver bars, and it goes on and on.
Absolutely nothing new. Just a huge revival of an old scam.
