Per Gecko's request, these look an awful lot like Englehard fatty 10s

    Interesting, I wonder if they were made-to-order by Engelhard.

    It sure looks like that is the case.

    When I saw them in the shop this morning, I couldnt help but feel they were made by Engelhard for the "Gold Standard" company. Kind of like how brand name companies make the generic labels for the food industry. Would love to hear SilverBaron's take on these bars!

    Note the "P" prefix on the serial number, just like on the Englehard.

    The "999+ FINE SILVER 10 TR OZ" is also the same as on the Engelhard bars.

    Also notice the rectangular box surrounding the name is identical to Engelhard's. I wonder if those serial numbers fit within Engelhard's numbering system, i.e. are they a part of the sequential system? No doubt in my mind they are produced by Engelhard. Cool bar!!!

    Could also just be a ripoff of engelhard. Copying everything they did to make it seem more legit. Just saying.

    I like the idea that they were "made for", though. NWT does that for Pan America.

    Weiss, thats a valid point and also something Tom said this morning as we discussed it. Im almost convinced that its an Engelhard product though. There is a chance its just a copycat too.
