Engelhard NEWP - Have you seen these before

OnlyGoldIsMoney

This morning I was searching through ebay instead of working. I came across a type of Engelhard bar I had not seen before. I made an offer and bought this 1/2 kilo bar.

The seller said these bars are rare. I can only say it is the first of its kind I have seen.

Has anyone ever seen one of these before or know when they were made?

Thanks, Mark.

I've seen the bull crescent stamp before, but never on a bar so crude looking.
That does look to be an early one. Very cool...

Nice find on that 1/2 kilo. I always liked the fact that they put troy ounces on it. I was eyeballing that bar as well.

Not sure when they were made though.

I think one of those sold on Ebay for around $600 or so when silver was just ~$20/oz. I may be wrong though. Either way, that is an exceedingly rare Engelhard!

Great 1/2 kilo. Nice pickup.

Have not seen that one before.
It is odd that they would not express the weight both ways, as 16.075 T.O. AND 500 Grams.
