10 oz bars

Bobk

I picked up 4 10 oz bars yesterday at spot +1. 1 A-MARK, 1 Heraeus, and 2 bars that did not have the minter on them. They do state,Minted

from U.S. strategic stockpile silver formerly stored at U.S. assay office San Francisco 1981. The other side states, .999 fine silver ten troy

ounces. They are a little narrower than the A-MARK and the Heraeus bars but a bit thicker. I guess that 40 cal FNH I was going to buy

yesterday will have to wait. Bob

The first thing on the silver bars list on Apmex is for "generic silver" and only .79 over spot. It interests me alot more to have plain old "ugly" bars then to have shiny highly polished bars.

Konsole; I agree; just give me the silver. Some people will not touch it it if it has a fingerprint on it.

This I can understand for classic coins, where the grade/condition is extremely important.

Silver is bullion and as long as it's a reputable bar/round I could care less if it has a fingerprint on it, or is circulated vs brand new uncirculated.

There are exceptions for rare bars/rounds. I just don't consider it the best use of my dollars. jws

I like the new and shiny ones wrapped in air tight plastic my self! I paid .99 over spot. (but what do I know anyway?)

The Strategic Stockpile bars were produced by APM when they aquired the silver from the stockpile out of the SF Assay office. They also made 1oz and 5oz bars and 1oz rounds.
