    The only Engelhard rounds I've seen are Prospectors, I've got a 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz. and 1 oz. rounds from a couple different years are these worth much over spot???
    So I take it you get 5 Mt. Everest Engelhard rounds for $90 with the buy it now option???

    Your 1/4 and 1/2 oz Engelhard rounds are from 1985....thats the only year of the fractionals. They also came in 1/10th size that year.
    This is the 1st time I have seen these 1986 "Everest" rounds. Might be a decent play even at $20/oz.



    Edited to add: The 1/4oz rounds sell for around 2-3x melt, and the 1/2oz rounds sell for 2x melt easy.

    I went ahead and picked these up since I've never seen them before. Maybe I can hype them up on eBay and get $30-$40 each image. Anyone want one for $25 lol

    << <i>I have seen them a few times before.......

    I have NO idea of the mintage or why they were even minted...
    [i.e. Engelhard's idea or for some customer.]

    If that is a "TM" mark after the " EVEREST" then it may have been for a customer.
    Gift shop item?

    Can anyone read what it says along the base of the mountain? >>



    I couldn't make it out. I will post better pics when they arrive

    These were made for the EVEREST outdoor clothing manufacturing co.

    They were both sold and used as employee rewards.

    I have no idea of the mintage..... like most Engelhard items.


    The " Compatible Multilayer Materials " is refering to the multilayer construction of their clothing....

    NOT the composition of the round.

    the patina does look like silver, but I have never seen any bars like this... a true gamble

    The top 2 bars are in fact silver.

    Most of Engelhard's metals were not made " Pretty ".

    I believe that these were made for industrial delivery.

    Only a VERY SMALL amount of silver was made for retail / public sale.

    As for being collectable ...... each to his own ..... just not for me.
