    But a friend let me shoot them and share them here. Super cool bars!

    Nice Engelhard bars - especially is purchased not too far from spot price.

    Anyone know the metallic content of this Prince Hall Free Mason medallion? Found in a group of coins in an old time collection. Not marked, is probably pot metal, but sounds like silver when “ dropped “ onto a flat surface. Thanks.

    Knowing the guy that owns those, I’m sure he paid a pretty penny for them.

    Hard to say, but kind of looks like pewter or some kind of “white metal“

    I've got a cool bar coming in the mail. From Great Britain, Backyard Bullion. I've seen him on Youtube for years and finally broke down and ordered one. It was right around $45 an ounce adding shipping, etc, but I'm ok to pay that once in a while for something interesting. His bars are all sent to the Edinburgh Assay office and have official hallmarks and many of you know I'm a sucker for that stuff! :D

    I'll post a picture here when it arrives. It's a 100 gram made for the https://www.thesilverforum.com Is anyone here a member on there? I'm not currently

    Picked this up today.. I know it's minted by Engelhard, but no idea what year. Alengelhard claims less than 1000 Mintage.

    Anyone know the year or other info?


    I thought I had one as well, but I had it confused with this one:

    I have a poured Colonial bar, but I'm not sure if Engelhard made it or not.

    Alengelhard has one listed, but with a serial number. If you email them a picture, they will get back with you with an answer within a few days. The one with a serial number sold on Ebay for over $4000 on 03/20/2022 !!!

    I've seen a few past Ebay auctions for bars like yours in the $450 range.. so I'm guessing not from Engelhard..

    Yes they are. I wish I could find that picture of the dozen or so that were in the dealers case 30 years ago when I got mine.
    I didn't know enough to buy them all, when I went back for the rest they were Long Gone.

    My latest silver bar. A gift from a friend. :p

    One gram bars are a bit small for stacking, every little bit counts.
    If you get another like bar will they multiply like rabbits do?

    You never know! :D

    Hey I'm not going to judge just because you feel like one of everything is cool.
    I went down that rabbit hole years ago. :o
    I think when a person gets to the point when they have their weight in silver, you can cut yourself some slack :D

    Got a hunch these will dry up and become tougher to find. Just wish I started MUCH sooner. As an example, not too long ago I grabbed this on Ebay for under $200.. Try that now!

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,706 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I owned a 3oz Engelhard years ago. Actually got it at spot +1
    let it go soon after in a trade, basically let it go like normal silver. I kick myself often for that one! :rage:

    I’ve been focused on coins for the last couple of years but I still like to dabble in silver bars when I find one I like.

    I like! 👍

    Nice pickup, lower production numbers.
    Don't try and divide 20 by 3 it doesn't end well :o

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,706 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think I’ve got that same bar myself…

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,706 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Libertads and JM pours. Both are a strong like from me. 👍

    Nice pick ups!

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 2,040 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @edwardjulio

    Both have heavy premium on ebay Im thinking $300 - $500 a piece maybe more or less depending on the day, but the 5oz bars have become very popular and desirable.

    Great pickupps!!

    It's all about what the people want...

    Picked these up from LCS. Checked the allenglehard site for info but not familiar enough to determine if these have any premium. Any info from forumites appreciated.

    Top one less than 100 minted = huge premium:
    "4th series ingot in unique serial absent variation. An example sold privately on March 3, 2017 for $2,500.00. Another example sold via eBay auction for $2,373.00 on October 23, 2017"

    Bottom one less than <250 minted = huge premium:
    "4th series in 5-digit serial variation with leading zero format. Although this serial range spans approximately 6,000 numbers, production of this 5oz variety was very sparse within this run."

    I would email pics to alengelhard.com for verification of authenticity. They get back within a couple of days.

    Great find!

    Edited to add; that might even qualify for the "YOU SUCK" award! :wink:
