....If you suspect that you have acquired a counterfeit 1 oz. Pan American bar, please send it to NWTM at the address below for authentication, at no charge to you. Genuine bars will be promptly returned and counterfeits will be destroyed.....

Question: Does this mean if you have a counterfeit they will give you a genuine in place of it?
Or does this mean if you have a counterfeit your are SOL? I can't imagine the company giving you a real sliver bar for the counterfiet. Plus if they think only 1000 have been made they are dreaming.

You are SOL. If you send in a fake, you get nothing back.

And yes, they are vastly underestimating the number of fakes out there...

Now maybe you guys can help me out- I thought the fakes were so good that the weight AND thickness was spot on. The letter says they are much thicker than normal.

Is this really true?

They are thicker, but the picture in their letter is exaggerated.

I have a few side-by-sides done here, more to come: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=23442

quality of fakes varies.
