    Bache, OPM, US silver credit, international mining mint, Simmons, National Refiners/assayers.

    I know most of these are not as well known but I own bars from them and a few of them I've seen tons of stuff from such as OPM & Simmons. Others may disagree.
    Its all relative

    I've seen lots of OPM stuff on eBay lately. Anyone know where exactly in Ohio these folks are?

    I don't know about the well respected part for many of these but no one has yet mentioned CMI.

    They extruded many larger sizes and pumped out massive quantities, though I don't know the dates they were in operation.

    I've seen and own a number of thier bars from 25 and 50 to 100 ouncers.

    Exact same shape as Engelhard 100 ouncers and just scaled down for the smaller sizes.

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Hell, I just found out they're in Jackson, OH! Well geez, that makes me happy as a dead pig in the sun. Me and my family all hail from right there...Rio Grande, Vinton, etc... Too cool, I'll have to pay closer attention to OPM.

    Would their precursor be Jackson Precious Metals?

    I have a 100 oz. poured bar from them. Seems a bit old to me, had it quite a while.

    Paid spot for it back around '02-'03.

    I'm fairly certain they have been out of business for quite awhile. May have resurfaced now as OPM?

    OPM is a top notch refiner. One of only a handful that are certified to refine to the highest purity - beyond the .9999 standard.
    They deal in large quantities.

    Another name to consider is Republic.

    Too bad OPM doesn't make 5oz & 10oz bars. At least not lots of them as I can't find anything but 1oz & 100oz on eBay.
