   • Unpacking or package damage;
   • Scratches or defects on the gold bullion;
   • Scratches or defects on the blister certificate;
   • Bullion bending or deformations.

Regardless of its weight and size, gold bullion loses some of its value in case of any of the aforementioned defects.

Damages and defects in the product or the blister certificate outlook are treated as investment product liquidity violations and it loses their added value. Gold products in this category will be bought back at prices lower than those offered for products in flawless condition.

The aforementioned conditions apply only to the buy-back of the gold investment bullions under the Bulmint brand which have the matching logo and serial number marked on the bullion and the blister certificate.
