For people who like Englehard bars

I normally do not buy vintage bars but I just couldn’t help myself.
I bought 11-ten ounce Englehard silver bars. All bars are non-magnetic, they pass a sigma meter, and I weighed a few bars (312 gms) out of their plastic sleeves so I believe they are real.

I think the bar with the serial number c388883 is really cool because it reminds me of a binary radar serial number on currency.

Poor taste to ask but did you pay about $350 per bar?

Considering the market environment, I would be interested in knowing that as well.

Either way, nice pickup of very recognizable Vintage silver bullion

Vanhalen and lukemarshall: I assume by your comments that $350- would have been a good price, correct? Again, I don’t play in the vintage silver bar market.
I paid less than $350- per bar.

Hey @Ppp ,

I watch Ebay to gauge the current market price on some of these types of pieces.

People are still paying around the $350 mark on these types of bars on that venue

If you can get them for less, especially close to spot, its generally considered a win at this time.

Good job Sir!

Nice silver bars, and it seems you got a good buy as well. I really like the serial number 388883, because the ship I served on in the Navy was DER 383.... And I spent most of four years aboard. Cheers, RickO
