Is there a tip on how to verify this a real silver bar?

I found some people selling off of alibaba, not this design but others.

Well I can provide proof this was purchased from SilverTowne.com legitimately. Though as far as verifying that SilverTowne is selling legit Silver, I am unsure how I could do that outside of testing it myself.

You can be certain SilverTowne is selling legit silver. The question is providing proof that this was actually from SilverTowne. Receipt isn't a foolproof way. Someone can buy 1 bar from a reputable dealer just to have receipt, then sell dozens of fakes.

One shady guy on here tried to sell me a 1oz gold APMEX bar, and I nearly bought it. Now I'm not saying yours is fake (I'm sure it's the real deal), but I'm merely pointing out that just because it has a dealer's stamped brand on it doesn't mean it actually came from that dealer.

That makes sense when you put it that way. I was unaware people really went to such lengths to sell counter fit metals on here, especially in such low weight's. Currently the bar in the OP was sold to the user posted above you, however this is good knowledge to have for any future sales I make in this department, which is likely.

In the future, is there any 'proof' I could throw out in the initial offer to help ease a potential buyers mind?
