These past couple weeks silver has dropped quite a bit..
so i decided to go to J&M at metrotown to purchase a 100oz bar
I recieved a engelhard type II bar

After doing some research I realized there are some lead filled engelhard bars floating around, although quite rare..
I wanted to get your guys opinion.. I should have asked them to write down the serial number on the reciept.. After looking at the bar i noticed a 2mm gash with what looks like a copper color inside, it might just be the age of the bar.
Should I be worried?? It does however pass the ring test.
Do jewlery stores like J&M typically check for these kind of "lead filled" bars when they purchase? Im shitting bricks right now as I baught it at spot price of $28.8 with approx $1.80 premium.. and it it were leadfilled I just lost almost 80% of my investment
