Bought these today for $35/oz. Howd I do?

AnkurJ

Went to a jewelry store to try to find something for my wife. Had no luck, and just asked if they deal in silver bullion. To my surprise, the owner said he had 20oz. Initially he wanted $37/oz and I passed. Before I left he asked what I would offer. I knew the Engelhard commands a premium, so I offered $34. He said $35, I agreed.

I am not familiar with the other bars and if they get a premium or not. Not bad for a small jewelry store though!

Anyone know the rough age on the engelhard?

The Engelhard bar was a good pick-up. The others are spot price bars to me. Overall a nice deal.

With prices down, this is the time to buy. That Engelhard bar alone would have run $500 earlier this year.

The Liberty Trade Silver bars are Engelhards also. Note the small "E" in the octogon to the right of the torch base.

At $35, you did well.

That's the only 10oz Engelhard I ever seen like that.

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Produced for Manfred Tordella & Brooks...they should also carry a nice premium...btw I have not seen the 5 oz Liberty....lots of 1 oz liberty MTB, but w/o the "E"

You DID REAL GOOD.

The 10 oz bar is from the 1962 - 1965 era. Good early bar!

Very nice old poured Engelhard. I think it's a fairly hard to find type. I have a simular one, same fonts but seven digit serial.
