Older one ounce silver bars

Are any of the one ounce silver bars from the early 1970 silver bars collectable?

Thanks for any comments

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Lots of them are, just depends on what you have. Some are worth the same as any other 1 oz bar, Others are worth upwards of couple hundred dollars.
    Its all relative

    What about sealed in plastic "Deak-Perera" one ounce bars from 1979-80?

    These were from the silver that Nelson Bunker Hunt bought when he tried to corner the COMEX...I read once that the Hunt brothers sold most of their silver to Deak-Perera who promptly made one and ten ounce bars with it and sold them on the open market...Much of that has been remelted, I'm sure..

    I have maybe 20 of these still individually sealed in flimsy plastic..

    What's their value? Interest?

    I sold a certain Coca Cola 1oz. ingot about a year ago for $742 on ebay... image
    Edited to say... there's not a lot of readily available information on art bars.
    Your best bet is probably completed listings on ebay.

    There's a decent book on art bars & rounds. Can't think of it right now.

    These are aboot as early as any you'll find:

    Good gravy, the thousands and thousands of these that I received as scrap way back then
  • image kinda neat I found the "Watergate gang" 1 oz. bar I bought for $13 a week ago has a list price of $50 although he had one for sale at $35, the mintage on that bar is 1,000.
