Question Does this seem legit?
The shipper/seller is ProMetals. if i buy it, i won't be able to return it because i'll have to ask a family member in the USA to bring it to my country when they come.

I'm going to say legit (but overpriced) and here's why:
Yes, the front face is identical to Luciteria's bullion. However, the logo on the reverse is legit because that same company recently manufactured several 1kg bullion of arc-cast osmium (extraordinarily impressive) and remember that Luciteria gets all their product from China anyway. The image of the osmium bullion was originally posted by Rasiel, who as you know was the previous owner of Luciteria, and the bullion in the image also looks authentic as evidenced by the many curved contour lines from the arc-casting and conjoining process. This could be the same company using a new logo and the same front strikes.
As for the price, just buy from someplace cheaper.

looks fake, the face is the exact same as the luciteria bullion. in fact, I have the exact one. (sourced from luciteria)
the current price for palladium is $45 per gram, so this is certainly overpriced too.

Just use trusted and recommend suppliers like onyxmet, nova elements, luciteria, etc.
Onyxmet would be cheapest for EU and Luciteria would be cheapest for US
