Do they really look like this in hand (dark background)? What is the process that gives that look, if so?

Thanks in advance!

Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    I haven't seen one, but there's no way a .9999 fine gold bar would have a black cameo appearance, unless it's been "colorized." That's probably just a photographic effect.

    It's a cameo proof. The background is mirrored and the lighting angle gives this effect.

    Why the odd weight---34,992 gm? What is 3 TOLAS?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, it reminded of gold-proof that is why I asked, but wasn't sure if just photography-lighting effect or some type of 'frosting' finish?
