Chapter 4 Engelhard Gold.

Greetings fellow PM Enthusiast .....
I have mostly stayed with Engelhard Gold in the sealed original COA's.
I have made a few exceptions .... but not many.
Let's start with the bars....
1 gram in the White & Blue COA. This is the only one I have seen.
1 gram in the very common Red/White/Blue COA. These usually sell for around $50.
2.5 gram .... not a common piece. I am still looking for it in the COA.
5 gram ........ This size is very common and sells for a small premium over spot ... usually around $225 or so.
10 gram ......... not all that easy to find. If you see one, don't be shy... buy it.
The 1/4 oz. bar. I have always like this size bar. Not rare, but not seen all that often.
A 1/2 oz. bar. More common than the 1/4 oz.
A 1oz. Eagle bar.
And the 1oz. Globe bar. The Globe bar is much easier to find than the Eagle.
Notice the style of COA. Every thing in the R/W/B COAs is also found in this paper & staple COA.
A 2oz. "finger" bar. Not common but not real difficult to find. Expect these to run $150 - 250 over spot.
I have seen 5 & 10 oz. cast gold bars .... just not wild about them....so...
And now one of my favorite Engelhard series ..... The Gold Prospectors. The 1 oz size was minted
from 1975 thru 1987. The smaller sizes were made from 1980 thru 1987 ??. Try putting together
date run sets of these! ( I still have a ways to go on these.) Ilike them enough that I pick every one
that I run across.
1oz. 1/2 oz 1/4 oz 1/10 oz
This next series I have named the " Big Flag " series. NONE of these are easy to find.
They come up so rarely that I can't give a "normal" price to expect for these.
This is the only 2.5 gram I have seen .... and the only "gram" size at all.
A 1/2 oz.
The 1oz.
My "Paper weight" .... the 5oz Flag bar.
And of course ..... A 1oz. Prospector in Flag COA.
DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL !!!
( I know .... what dial?!?! )
Up next ..... Chapter 5 .... JM Gold.

<< <i>Gecko I did not buy it. It was for sale at melt a month or so after the coin show which I saw it. I'm not wanting to collect anything anymore and passed on it a second time. Even silverbaron did not want it when I asked if he wanted me to pick it up for him. >>

Yes it can be. I never saw a picture of a 25 gram gold bar before. Wonder how much it was worth and how many people actually have seen it. Should fetch higher than normal.
The 25 gram Canadian gold bar is very common. A bar out of
the plastic normally sells for spot or just a little bit above.
At $1225 spot, it should sell around $985 to $1000.

So if its in the plastic what would the price be?
Never seen a 25 gram bar and when I search for it, there was a thread in this very forum in May 2010 that said it was rare? Can't link the thread here but I believe the poster who thought I was someone else had found it and asked about it and everyone told the poster to go back and buy it, its rare, etc.
