Do any of these strange silver bars command a premium?

One is from the "REPUBLIC NATIONAL BANK OF NEW YORK" and is sealed in plastic, with a JM logo and serial on the reverse. One is probably a generic from a company I've never heard of before, and one is a tiny little Englehard I've never seen before. It is twice as thick as a normal bar.

    I have one of those HW 10 ounce bars, don't even remember when or where I picked it up.

    Mine doesn't have the Chinese characters on the back, though. Just the HWMC letters as yours has.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. 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."

    That is interesting, did Johnston Matthey make their bars? Or is that some other JM there down at the bottom.

    That is THE Johnson Matthey. JM has made silver and gold bars for many different companies. Kraft, and the Cortez Mine come to mind. There are many others.
