Is this RCM 1 oz gold bar fake?

Hi folks!

Long time reader, first time poster. I bought my first RCM gold bar recently from a reputable dealer (Toronto Gold Bullion), but I noticed something that is making me question it's authenticity. When I zoom in on a picture I took, the serial number engraving looks a little wonky. Uploading pics to show what I mean. Is this how it's supposed to look?

Cheers

It's probably fine, but can you show us a photo of the back, as well as of the side of the packaging?

I hope it's not engraved.

I'd think they were stamped with letter "punches"

The vertical lines look a bit wonky zoomed in.

The whole thing looks real.

2017 RCM 1 oz gold bar. Looks legit to me.

I vote authentic. You probably "over magnified" the S/N.

Here's a good comparison of your bar with a zoom feature

Looks authentic and the SN on derryb's bar looks similar.... Cheers, RickO
