I'd guess Minerals & Chemicals, based on what Wikipedia says.

Bought quite a bit (for me), but it's all for re-sale

This is all I'm "puttin' back" this week though, I'm a sucker for the 5 oz'ers.

Found locally Thursday.

Man, those are all killer bars!

OPA

Managed to buy one of these....In transit....



Picked up a bunch when APMEX had a one day sale on these.

coinnerd, I like your 20 oz Engelhard. I believe the 20's with the bull horn are more common.

So you're the one that oubid me on that Doyles bar, huh OGIM?

Pictures will be uploaded soon......

Got some metals for a family member, most of the 90% I got it at 23.75x, the silver dollars at 30, and the quart oz eagles at 460 each.

I also managed to grab a Perth 1oz high relief dragon.

And this 5 oz JM poured bar at the show today for an okay price, $3.75 over spot. About the same as the going rate for maples. It looks like it was minted yesterday. The owner had a small plastic case that fit 3 of them perfectly. I haven't seen too many around like this so I picked one up just for the novelty of it. If you guys tell me its scarce I might have an excuse to go back again tomorrow

Now that's a cool 5 oz'er Pokermandude!!!

Rich, I thought it would end up going higher. A few months ago I got outbid on one. Now I can stop looking.

You would be wise to pick them up for $3.75 over spot. Let me know if you will have any to sell.

Thanks OGIM and the other member who PMed me about these bars.

He had 2 others in the case, I'm going back this morning and will see if they are still available.

Show part 2.

Got there right before the doors opened this morning. Made it over to the same dealer's table, but the other 5 oz bars were already gone since yesterday.

Made my rounds again, stopped off and picked up a few more ancients from one of my favourite dealers. He had a couple small silver bars in the back of his case, 2oz and 5oz poured with the the letters NCM written inside a Nevada state outline. Asked how much, got them for about spot +$3.50/oz.

I wander over to some other bullion dealers and see one with some 10oz and 20oz bars which had been sitting there since the day before. Saw some of the same 20oz poured style (Engelhard I believe) bars in a main bullion only dealer's case that hadn't sold either, so I passed on those. This dealer, myself and another customer/collector started talking about small and oddsize bars. I say, what a coincidence, check these two I just bought.

I pull out the 5 oz and show the collector is quite impressed, I can tell he really likes it. As he fondles it I am digging around in my backpack and pull out the 2 oz. His face lights up and he says he has to have it. I believe he offered me $120 on the spot for the 2 oz bar. I hesitate and he says "$150? $170?" Over double the spot price. He confirms my suspicions when he says "I am crazy, I will pay that!" and laughs.

Since I kind of like the bars and keeping them as part of a collection/set, I tell him I'll think about it and will catch up with him later. He asks where I bought and if he has any more of them. I tell him probably no more left, but I direct him over there any way.

I do some more rounds, find another cool little bar (2.8 oz MMI with engraving on the back) and I spot him again. I tell him I could probably part with the 2 oz bar and confirm that I'd sell for $170. We make a quick exit and we do the deal. I also show him the newest 2.8 oz bar and he says "you're killing me here!" and laughs. We exchange info and we may end up doing a deal for my 5 oz and/or 2.8oz bar in the future.

I return to the dealer where I got the 2oz and 5oz bars and make another ancient coin purchase.

All in all a pretty good day

I'll likely decide to sell this one and only 5 oz JM poured bar as I have realized I am nowhere near "crazy" enough to collect bullion bars! I like my huge premium chunks of silver to be at least 100 years old Keep an eye out on the BST here this month.
