I have owned these in the past, I really really wish I had kept the ones I had before, but I needed this for my Johnson Matthey type set.
Paid $415 ~ $83 an ounce! 
But if you’re gonna pay up for one, this is definitely the look you want. And it’s a very tough bar to find!
At the time I bought it, it was the only one on eBay., So unless something has come up in the last few days, there are none of these to be bought on eBay at all right now.
It accompanies the other sizes here, The 20 ounce I bought recently as well and paid a pretty good premium on, the 10 ounce, I bought back in 2018 and paid a strong price then, however I’m in it under current spot at this point, so that one works to my favor…
Post your Johnson Matthey bars to this thread!
I also want the half kilo and kilo with the normal JM stamp, but I do have this kilo that is in the same family:
And lastly, I have the 100oz, a recent pick up:
Side view, this thing looks like a true Fort Knox bar!

I also have this, one of the last pieces made before Asahi bought their precious metals division:

I'm not into bars.....I MIGHT pay that per-ounce for a coin like the Apollo 11 or a Wedged-Tail Eagle or National Park Saint-Gaudens commemorative....but not a plain bar.
I guess to each his own.
Either way, you better like it since silver will have to double to make back your money.
Your not taking into account that another collector may value it higher than him. Making it a good buy.
Another one just showed up on eBay I’m guessing today or yesterday, but the guy is just out of his mind. He wants over $1600 for it!

It was there yesterday, that was the one I was referring to.
Am I right about it being wild money?
Exactly, it’s insane money, if you look at sold listings, they seem to be in that 350 to 400 range.

I missed out on a poured loaf 4oz with a standard JM crosshammer logo about 5 years ago. Went for around $400 if memory serves, the seller was super friendly and wished me luck on the final bid... I dropped the ball as its the only one ive ever seen.
Let me see if I can find a picture to contribute to this thread... great bars so far everyone
It's all about what the people want...
I’ve never heard of that, I would love to see that!

Great bars! Just searched my stash and not a single JM... I could have sworn I had one somewhere.. I'll have to fix that!
OMG that's another rabbit hole you can go down
no worries I don't think there is an end to collecting vintage bars.
Someone wanted to see a 1/2 kilo?
Beautiful half coinnerd. I’ve never seen a half. Nice

Yes! That’s spectacular! Those are very tough to find… Another one that is on my bucket list.
