Maybe even some guidance on a price expectation. They were definitely more neat than the ASEs in the collection.

Daniel,
Good luck with the liquidation,
I would not use the slab of the $10 Gold for a photo platform though, you don't want to scratch it.
You will get some good advice here on the silver bars.

There's soft plastic on top of the hard plastic for the $10 gold.

Well I'll throw this out there, using the Archie Kidd guide books....
Prices jump all over the place.
Probably realize a few dollars over spot to a collector.
Most are pretty common.
The Patrick mint curtis biplane they made 15,000 of so pretty many and not as much of premium over melt.
The 2 USSC bars ( united state silver corporation) bring a little more money IF they have a serial number on the bar, these do not.
The basic kitty hawk bar has a mintage of 7500.
The California gold discovery bar doesn't seem to have a mintage number.
These bars would probably fetch a little over the melt price at auction (probably not more then $5 over melt) and the you would have fees associated with selling.
Unless you put them up in the classifieds section here on the collector site
You can search ebay sold listings for ballpark figures.
I would say those type of bars would sell best on the BST... no fees, good customer base. Cheers, RickO
Agree. Common Art Bars that all could use a good bath. Not much of a premium over melt for most of them. I would sell them as a lot of 6 on the BST & you might get spot + $1 or $2. Good luck.
Silver art bars were very collectible in the 1970’s. The collectibility was greatly affected by the Hunt Brothers silver bubble of 1979-80. It never really recovered.
