    I was fortunate enough to enter a giveaway and guess within 1 cent of what silver would close at on a certain day and won a 1/2 oz silver eagle style round. Hey its only worth 13 dollars but it was free!!!

    Weiss ...fantastic trade.

    Its like a real estate deal where you lose a few square feet but you gain a much better neighborhood.

    Just seemed like a good point to consolidate. Liquidate that which you don't like in favor of that which you do.

    And it felt pretty neat to "buy" a 100 oz JM struck bar in box for ~ $17.50 an ounce image

    That bar looks highly polished. Is the reverse also polished? Did it come from Engelhard that way or was it polished after it left the refinery? I have a 5 oz bar with the same polished finish.

    Polished bars sure are pretty. When these bars are polished, do they lose any metal weight? Do the bars become less desirable compared to original bars? Does anyone here avoid these bars or is it a matter of "if the price is right"?

    On the old bars I prefer the aged look that normally accompanies them. I will buy either one if the price is right but if picking them out individually I would pick out the naturally aged bars.

    I think that that is a very reasonable concern, but I do not know the answer.

    I doubt they lose any significant weight but the perception of the buying public is a concern of any retail bullion dealer and they are the ones who will eventally buy many of these bars. But they sure are purdy.image

    You could probably do it without significantly changing the weight, if all you are doing is rearranging the surface evenly, but you could probably take a tenth of an ounce off of it if that was your intent and have it looking just like this as well.

    I remember reading an Australian coin book written back in the 60's that told how one old grifter used to withdraw 100 sovereigns from the bank one week, put them in a bag and carry them around on his buckboard wagon with bad springs all week, and then deposit them back in the bank. After doing so, he would shake the little gold flecks out of the bag into a container. When he was finally accused of doing this deliberately, he said that he was "just taking the gentlemen out for a ride."
