    They didn't appear to be labeled as 'plated'. They were counterfeit, scam bars.....
    Glad they got pulled........

    Yes, this seller admitted that these were plated.
    It's the subsequent seller that probably was not going to admit it.......

    Ebay does not allow plated bars/rounds on it's site. It's in the coin/currency selling rules.
    Report all you find, please. It's a clear violation.
