Looks like some kind of polarization effect. Would sun glasses work?

Actually, it is a good idea. I bought the Fisch's to do the same thing.

And that cost what ?
At least 7 times the price of this thing ?

Now the only question will be can the forgers make this mark on their crap.

The fact that major bullion producers are coming up with these things is a signal that silver counterfeiting is becoming a real problem.

I'll stick with merc dimes for now, thanks.

I saw those on the tulving site. They're only 6/10 of one percent more expensive than their cheapest 10 ounce bars. I think it's worth it if it's difficult to forge.
