Engelhard bars question

Bought this on eBay and just got it. The picture wasn't clear so I didn't see this before buying it. Looks like the serials have been ground off. Why would someone do that? Could it be stolen? Should I return it?
On another note, trying to put together a Engelhard type set of 1oz bars. Do you know of any not shown in my picture?

It looks like someone has removed some metal. Have you weighed it?

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I don't think you'll have any problems selling it in the future.
<< <i>wow thats strange. Perhaps it was stolen so they got rid of the serial numbers. Did you buy it like that? If the ebay auction shows that then good luck getting money back. >>
That was my first thought.
If you brought that into our store, I would buy it as damaged goods at a low enough price that I could profitably send it to our refiner to get it off the market.

Choose a small space on a side......can you scratch the bar with your finger nail?
The reason I ask is that the bar does NOT look like an genuine ENGELHARD to me.......
1....... Notice the flow lines....... it looks like it has been brushed in one direction....with NO evidence
of the cooling puddle lines normaly seen on these older, cast bars.
2....... While the drill bit has wiped out the bar number..... there does not appear to have been enough space for
a genuine number to have been there.
Just a few thoughts, Sir.
