I'm new to stacking and fell for a deal that was a little too surreal... 25 one-ounce silver bars from what looked like a legit website with some reviews. I thought it was gonna ship from America since the interface is very American and it's all english, using our measurements, shows my zip code. When I placed my order, I just noticed it ships from China. They just arrived, and yep… totally fake. Weight checks out, no magnet reaction... Bottomline is they're silver-plated brass. Everyone who's just getting started, please... Be wary.
