    Wow.....I guess unless you buy from well established dealers you are taking a chance.
    This will only continue to occur imho.
    Basically all bullion can be suspect if not from reliable sources.

    You dont know where they were purchased.Could have been a big bullion shop online.
    Worthless without pictures.

    I have my doubts that they came from a bullion shop. Most likely from overseas via eBay. Being sold for less than $15. One common denominator: not US sellers.
