How to test if your bars are real without drilling into them?
Assuming weight and dimension are on point and they pass the acid test because they have actual gold coating, how could one test them?

They use xray devices for this. You have certified instances who can test this for you.

No other option than xrays?
Could i have them tested in a bank or where?

Would have been even better if it were chocolate underneath.

See if you can sell them off as real gold
at the end of the day that's what matters anyways innit

Imagine buying a 10oz bar which turns out to be lead or some shit.

you get them from a reputable source, if you get a dud you're fucked anyway, it's not like you're going to get a refund. you should never have to seriously consider "what if my bars aren't real?" in the first place.
no, unless you have a friend who is an analytical chemist and is allowed to test any old shit in his lab then there's nothing you can personally do to ensure your gold bar is genuine gold and not a good fake, other than getting it professionally tested.
As long as you're not buying on Ebay or someone off craigslist I never worry about it. I stick with reputable dealers.
