bamafanforsure has sold this bar before. Sells for a premium if I recall, but not a giant premium though. Bars like this appeal to those that collect old pour silver bars.

I heard of that ebay name before. I think that this ebay seller for a while also was selling several "diamond-shaped" .999 pure silver items. I could be wrong on this but I think the "diamond shaped" silver items were 5 troy oz's of .999 pure silver. The only reason that I remember this because the ebay seller named bamafanforsure seemed to be the only one that was selling this unique and other old poured style silver bars.
I still think that the bar in the OP is an Engelhard (or Engelhard Canada) old poured style silver bar but then again I could be wrong on this. I think that Engelhard has a lot of different style old-poured silver bars back then.
EDIT: It is possible that it could be a JM bar that was minted in Canada. I think that there were old poured style JM bars that were minted in Canada. Then again I could also be wrong on this. Just a couple of wild guesses on my part.
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a '70's silver art bar expert but I try my best to play one on the Internet.
JM of Canada had silver bars with a maple leaf on them and the words JMC on them. This is just another of the hundreds and hundreds of old pour bars made by people/companies long gone.
Bamafanforsure sells many bars that are odd and sometimes he is the only one even selling them which made you wonder........

Thanks for the help. I have some of the Canadian JMC bars. It would be cool if this were an Engelhard piece. But being silver is good enough. I searched the net and found lots of silver makers marks but mostly for silverware

After all, our own Gecko experimented with crude home made bars ...
