Info on 1985 JM & MTB rounds

duxbutt

HI all, I got these from a memeber on here. I bought the 5 of them he had. These are by far my favorite rounds. I am curious to know if anyone knows how these came to be from both companies. Do these show up very often? I have been looking for more but no luck. Any info would be great. Thanks

I don't really know anything about them. I used to have some 1/2 oz pieces just like it. They seem fairly commom, About the same as a normal JM bar I'd say. Many companies had refiners/mints produce bars/rounds for them for many different purposes.

I also had some in gold, 1/10, 1/20 and I've seen other sizes as well.

duxbutt got them from me

The pic does not do them justice! There is nice rainbow toning on them like on morgans

The JM/MTB stuff is neat, I think Keepdachange has a 100 oz bar like this. Ive seen thse in 1 oz sizes too and 10s I believe, might be a 5 ozer as well

Just like the bars made for MTB which is Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, Inc., they are (JM) basically commissioned to make the bars and rounds as MTB does not make any bullion products. MTB

never noticed before but this one might be made by Engelhard as there is an "E" logo off to the right

I thought with all the Statues of Liberty in this thread, this would be the place to ask about this bar by PAMP. It obviously has the exact same theme. When was it produced, and is it rare? I've never seen one before.

1jester

So I take it no one has ever seen or heard about this PAMP bar before?

No Sir, That is a new one for me. Nice Bar.

Thank you, Dux! As usual, I'm at the mercy of the silver bar experts to enlighten me, but all I hear is resounding silence.
