  • From my experience, having sold a multiple of these....and the equally rare 4oz bar....the bar will usually sell for 2x - 4x melt. So figure $450 on the low side, and as much as $700 or $800 on the high side. List it on ebay....1 cent to start...no reserve for best results.

    Sounds like something that would have to be sold on eBay to get full value. I doubt that the local B&M coin shop dealer would offer much more than melt.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    This is exactly correct.

    That's true with 99% of all bars...

    That's because most bars are only worth melt or a small premium over melt.

    But if a B&M wanted to sell one to you, they'd charge you the multiple gecko talked about. There's a dealer locally that has several of these in his showcase and when I inquired about them, he said they aren't even for sale. He has them in the showcase for looks. But i'm sure if I offered stoopid money, he'd sell. That's what he means "they're not for sale."

    I'm a buyer of the 4 oz and 7 oz bars whenever I come across them. I do better at shows then anywhere else. MJ

    What do you usually have to pay at shows for these bars? Which is rarer---the 4oz or the 7oz bars?

    I do not come across them often and I would say the rarity is about the same. Car's/AgBlox turned me on to these a awhile ago. Maybe, the 4 ozers are a little tougher? I've
    paid in the low to the middle of Phil's range. I've also paid a lot lower once and much higher once ( I was uninformed at that time)

    I recall a 4 oz Engelhard bar sold for over $500 on eBay within the last 6 weeks. A 7 oz Engelhard could easily do as well.
