    Seems fair to me ... I would buy it for that. That being said, I would try to get the seller to waive the $20.00 shipping fee.

    Actually, it's a head attached to the end of the long rectangle with the ENGELHARD logo to look like a caterpillar. It's a bit stylized but you can see the eye and the two antennas. No way does it look like a bull.

    I've been asking around on the dealer network, and nobody calls it a bull. Someone said that they thought that it meant that the bar was made at their Canadian facility, but that is just a suggestion at this point.

    Huh. I always thought it was a bull.

    In the collector's market, I've only seen it referred to as 'bull'. I don't think it was designed to be a caterpillar, though, as it doesn't always appear next to the rectangle (for example, it appears in the 'E' globe logo on some 1oz bars).
