This is the first time I see this kind of bars.
Kind of expensive though...
Does anyone own one?

14.58 Troy ounces

    I'm surprised that Sunshine marked the bar in avoirdupois weight instead of troy.

    That is what I do not like about it. Might prove difficult to sell. And good luck getting any premium for it.

    One Troy pound = 12 Troy ounces

    I'm guessing the seller is hoping that someone will think this bar has 16 ounces and bids accordingly.

    It was poor judgement on Sunshine's part to mark a bar in an ambiguous fashion, even if a client requested it.

    Avoirdupois measures should not be used for precious metals.

    It is not an auction, PerryHall. They clearly state 14.58 Troy ounces but...what a premium! MM

    I recently purchased a 14.25 oz. JM London assay office silver bar, looks way better than this bar as it is shaped like a small brick.

    I have a one Troy pound Silver Eagle replica .... I have had that for many years... could get a nice premium for it now. Cheers, RickO
