Nope. Cupronickel alloy with a tiny bit of iridium. And a silver layer.
makes sense. amazing how similar the size [density] was to a real bar, don't you think?

I got em for him, just because he's going to make a movie comparing them to the real thing. Educational.
Yeah, that's the plan.
Though work/life/travel then snuck up and has swamped me. Hoping to have time later this week or this weekend to pull them out. I did get the composition data on them. November 19, 2013, 12:43:27 AM

I've found someone willing to sell me what I'm looking for.
I didn't care to make a bulk order, as I don't have any use for a large amount of fake silver.
The link i provided was $17 for 5 of them, with free shipping. Seemed to be good.I didn't care to make a bulk order, as I don't have any use for a large amount of fake silver.
Glad to see that you got what you needed.
Those are the 1oz bars. I only need one of those, and I need a 10oz bar as well.
I have some fake ones I got. I'm suing the guy. Had it tested to make sure with a metal gun

If your still looking PM me. I have one of each Engelhard neither of them (10oz/1oz) have serial #'s and both are still sealed in the bag.
Edit and they sound fine.
Edit2: The 10oz is Engelhard and the 1oz bar is Sunshine Minting.

I bet they sound different than real bars
They do, and it's a common trick used to test authenticity. Fake stuff is more of a thud instead of a ping. I would just stick to the density test, there's no possible way to beat that, given standard bullion measurements. its possible. all you have to do is layer silver on top of tin on top of a tungsten core. if you get the ratio right than you can perfectly match the density of silver.
Right, but the depth measurement with an ultrasonic gauge should be badly wrong. Basically, I just want to see how good this batch of bars is.
that's correct. ultrasonic is what you would have to use to detect that sort of forgery. perhaps some form of electrical resistance test might work also?

Sorry if this has been repeated, but have you tried some place like aliexpress? i found these scottsdale silver non magnetic fakes with 2 seconds of searching. they seem to have all sorts of varieties for cheap.
