I am not suggesting that people cheat but gold is very easy to melt and reform so that becomes a pure commodity that is virtually untraceable as long as you don’t try to unload too much of it at once. I suspect a single large gold bar embossed with a Nazi logo and authenticated is probably worth a good deal more than that but the number of buyers is small, you have to provide a chain of ownership for the authentication to be legit and there are serious tax implications as well. dot420666 (21,971) 100 Germany WW2 German 1941, 1942, 1943 Swastika Eagle 10 Rpf Coin Lot WW2 ERA 88 Opens in a new window or tab (Thu, 10:09 a.m. German 5 and 10 Pfennigs 1940 - 1941 - 1942 WWII Swastika.
I would personally have it melted down (or melt it myself) into much smaller bars and sell it to different dealers at spot prices over time.
