Ive heard of the Adriatic fire wagon depicted on the bar, but I’m not sure of the company who made the bar.

Neat bar, Joey. An eBay search yielded one listed as being minted by the Madison Mint in 1973

I've heard of the name but that's as far as it goes

Thanks guys!
I looked on the bay, as well. Seem to be going for a decent premium?
I only paid $25.

I agree with this, it appears that the bar has no identifying markers for the producer. The fire wagon depicted does say "Adriatic 31" though.

I see lots of them offered in the $30s, but most sold listings are in the $20s.

I was going to say that atleast you saved postage, but then again there's gas.

I see them being offered for multiples of melt, but that is meaningless.

$25 is a fair price, if you like it.

Think of them as bullion and you will avoid overpaying for such items.

So, they've been around for 50 years, huh?
Wow, what a detailed graph of information.

I think my daughter Lauren is selling one of these silver bars as well on eBay right now under her handle “captivatingcoin”. After nearly 15 years of passing on opening an eBay store to sell coins, she has finally decided to “go for it” like her brother Justin. Her first consignment received was a group of about 60 silver bars mostly from 1973. She still has about 45 of the bars to list on eBay. She then received a consignment of a large bag of raw USPI coins to sell as well. And, she is asking me for some stuff for her to offer out as well. I wonder how long it will take for her to get fully burned out on this new gig! lol. All kidding aside, I wish her great success on her new venture. If your travels take you over to her eBay store- send her a message letting her know you are a fellow PCGS coin forum member with her father.

@JoeyCoins ... Nice old silver bar, and not a bad price. If I see a silver bar that interests me, the price needs to be close to melt. Unless I am interested in it as a gift for someone... Then a bit of premium is OK. Cheers, RickO

These 1oz. bars from the early seventies are fun.
They were popular.
I got a few in ‘72 & ‘73 before I got my drivers license.
After that, and for a few decades thereafter, coins and bars took a back seat to dating.

Cool art bar I like all of them, Nice 👍🏼.
