But as the price of silver climbs it is this round that I suspect might...

The colorization is a vinyl decal. As above....hot water or acetone. Your choice....either will easily remove the decal.

Don't worry about 10 oz. fake silver bars...yet. If & when the price of silver rises significantly will be another story.

" I'm a pretty conservative investor.

Don't think of acquiring physical silver (or gold) as a financial "investment".
Rather, acquire as a store of real wealth to protect some of your capitol.......

Maybe the bars will attain a "name-brand" popularity ranking, like the U.S. Assay Office bars have done.

They're great ones to hold IMO.

Many of the latter years have a frosted appearance. Except personal preference shiney or frosty means nothing.

Know the diameter of your Maples and do a google search of the web. type in "Coin supplies".

Good luck!

Native gold nuggets are unique and are valued individually by size, color (= purity), shape, and character.
