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

Gold does not need to replace currencies to reshape financial power. It only needs to replace collateral.

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