Super cool Engelhard poured 100 oz bars!

I went to my friend’s B&M and picked out one of these this afternoon. (Purely on aesthetics) they are all the same series.

Check out the various cut-in lines from the different moulds used!

Which bar is your favorite? I’ll reveal which one I picked a little later:

Weiss

Wow. All are very cool.
I like #1 the best, but #3 has that cool pebble-dropped-in-a-pond look.

Meltdown

Very cool. I'm lovin' the 3rd bar with the circle patterns

asheland

The third one has a Saturn look.

The first pic is my favorite, but I would be happy owning any of them.

These bars are quality! Every side I tested with the PMV read .9999!

While your 1st one is nice but I like your 2nd one better. It just doesn’t come with this look often, congrats!

Heck yeah!

asheland

Thanks everybody!

Well...If I were buying based on aesthetics, it would have been number three.... When it comes to bars, I do not judge them like coins though... just purity and weight. Cheers, RickO

What are "cut-in" lines? I know they are in the mold but do they serve a purpose? I've never seen one but I've only held a few 100 Oz. bars back in the 1980's.

I've been asking around myself lately after seeing them. I have two theories: One is simply to make the bar come out of the mold easier, and/or a primitive security feature to show quickly if they have been tampered with (filing, drilling, etc)
You certainly couldn't hide any tampering with those lines there!
