7 oz Engelhard INSANITY! $225/oz!???

piecesofme

Are you kidding me? I knew the 7 oz'er is the key to the set, at least it is imo, but $225/oz. for them things???

Make sure you're logged into eBay and put this in the search box...and make sure you're sitting down LOL.

Wow... since I do not collect these, I really have no idea of what the value may be, however, that does seem high. I would assume it is a serious collector of these that won. Cheers, RickO

Linked up.

Even the seller's 5 oz Engelhard went for over $60/oz. That just seems like a crazy premium even if you are a collector.

Indeed.

When some old poured Engelhard 4 ounce bars appear the real fun begins.

CoinCoins

that's stupid.... bring that to almost 100% of coin shops and you'll get melt value for it

Baley

wow, that's more for silver than even if it was in the shape of a dragon!

Note to self: Cherrypick any 7 ounce Englehards I might find at the B&Ms and coinshows.

At which point the LCS will put the bar up on eBay and quintuple its investment.

I wouldn't count on a cherry pick but I guess anything is possible. I've seen the "ask" higher then +$225 per ounce on 4's and 7's. MJ

I was watching that sellers auctions go off last night and I just couldn't believe it. You're right, even the 5 oz'er went for $60+/oz. I was like wtf is going on?

I bought a 7 oz engelhard for just over $900 when silver was $41. He got a real good sale in my opinion on this bar.

Unfortunately there is no Official Red Book to help gauge tough Engelhard items. You're on your own trying to assess scarcity and value. Just adding a few more dedicated bar collectors could make tough Engelhard items that much tougher.

I picked up this 3 oz Engelhard within the last month off eBay. I paid much more than I expected because someone else bid strong. Did I pay too much? I'm still not sure. What I do know is it is the only 3 oz Engelhard I have ever seen with the bull horns. Of course someone with a horde of them might start listing them on eBay tomorrow and I'll feel foolish.

Of course someone with a horde of "fill in the blank" might start listing them on eBay tomorrow and I'll feel foolish.

Been there.

I have no idea of the manufacturer for that bar. It does not look like anything I've ever encountered from JM or Engelhard.

IMO it does not look especially old.

Wingsrule

Never saw one like that before, and I can guarantee it won't end up in my collection.
