A good friend of mine just returned from vacationing down in Texas. He owns a B&M shop here in town. In addition to buying/selling bullion, he's a bullion collector of mainly the older poured stuff or anything unusual/unique.

I only recognized a couple of the makers... Monarch, Nevada Mining Co...

I was able to purchase the two unopened rolls of Onza's. It just so happened that I had my camera in the truck, so I grabbed it to shoot a couple photo's for my online bullion junkie friends. image

Any other help with the makers? One of the 10oz smaller ingots has a lions head/mane and that is the only maker mark.
Also, I thought I had seen the teardrop stamp here on the boards before...

    I would of picked the same two things. The Onzas

    I like the 2 kitkat bars though. Never saw those before. I had the lion head one before and I could not get a premium out of it

    The Onza's are pretty neat. You don't see them as unopened rolls every day although they are probably not rare by any means.
    I think that lion head might be an early Crown Mint piece? The 2 long/skinny 10oz bars have GA stamped in it.

    Assuming the premium to melt is the same across the board I would grab the libertads personally. Otherwise I would pick the two most interesting bars in the group and to me that would be the McKay bar and the one with the Lion.

    I like the two Mexican rolls you purchased very much. There are a few rolls such as these in my own bullion holdings.

    I've had 2 1985 Libertads in my pocket all day, nice pickups! Was going to pick my paintings up from a studio and gallery today, couldn't make it, and was going to give each of the owners 1 while I pulled my stuff off their walls for being stupid.

    Nice pickup. I'm guessing the libertads are 84 or 85?

    The one in the lower right corner of your first photo was manufactured by Engelhard. You may have heard of them.image
