I just cut open my gold bar. Is this normal?

Yes that’s called gray gold
They use it for filler because it’s not as shiny, but it’s actually worth double.

Osmiums even worse than uranium, if you ever want to fondle it you literally cant take it out of its case as it'll form osmium tetroxide on contact with the air which REALLY REALLY wants to fucking kill you, and also is extremely volatile so it'll spit fumes of it at you. Even U-235 you can atleast get away with looking at in open air, Osmium? That shit'll kill you dead in a fucking minute.

Sigma metalytics. It’s 1200$ but worth it. It can even go through plastic covering graded coins. Or just buy from reputable sellers. You will still need one for tshtf.
