    Nice! I assume that's a rare ingot... I love odd ounce pieces.

    Those old loaf bars are pretty.. I love the flow lines.

    Also picked up this at a sliver over silver. Another "mini homerun". By the way, that Engelhard 4.000 oz bar is excessively rare. I have owned but 2 examples. Last one I sold was 3-4 months ago, and it hammered on the bay at $331. Just goes to show how rare it really is.....at over $80/oz!

    That's a nice score, I've never gotten a 3 or 4 oz. Engelhard.

    3's are fairly common, along with the 5's and 10's of course. The 4 is second rarest only to the "legendary" 7.000 ounce bar. A true find indeed!

    I thought the 4 was more scarce than the 7. I had no problem finding 7's. Actually picked up 3 in last year. The 4 was Hardest for me.

    In my opinion the 4 is the hardest to find. The 7 oz is rare but can still be found but the 4 just never shows up for sale

    I'd take $260 via paypal right now for it. Last one sold at $331 via ebay. Next one might sell for $350 or $200, who knows?

    I've never had a 7 oz. bar either, completely forgot about that one.

    Does it weigh out at exactly 4.000 oz?

    My old JM kilo bar says 999 and 1000. on it and weighs exactly 1001.0 grams. So they covered the 1/10 of a percent impurity possibility. I'm wondering why Englehard was so precise with this one, when it might in fact weigh 4.003 ounces. image
