The Nude Bert Reynolds silver art bar was minted in 1973 by Arlington Coin Galleries according to my 4th edition Archie Kidd silver art bar guidebook. 1500 of these were minted according to this guidebook.
I do not see many of these but these can fetch high premiums on ebay based on the very few past ebay auctions that I saw on this art bar. Most of the nude bars that were minted in the 1970's were of nude females. As far as I know, the Nude Burt Reynolds silver art bar is the only nude male silver art bar that was minted in the 1970's.

I can't tell, is his mustache anatomically correct? and that bear rug he's laying on looks very comfortable I must say. Looks like he's ready to "shag someone baby".
To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

Actually there is a Dolly Parton silver bar that was minted in the 1970's. It is a Music City Mint (World Wide Mint) bar that was minted in 1974 but it is a rare bar with a mintage of only 100 according to the 4th edition Archie Kidd silver art bar price guide.

I suspect that this Marilyn Monroe bar is a Colonial Mint silver art bar that was minted in 1973. The Colonial Mint version of the Marilyn Monroe bar will have an "Incussed Reverse". In other words, the reverse side has an indention that is the shape of Marilyn Monroe but facing the other way. The front of that Colonial Mint bar it will have what appears to be a couple of letters that are located above her feet (as shown in this picture). The 4th edition Archie Kidd silver art bar price guide lists a mintage number of 10,000. These are serial numbered and the serial number is located on the edge of the bar. I have seen these listed on ebay and I have seen most ebay winning bids that range from as low as $45 to as high as $65.00 on ebay. I have seen some go higher than that but most of the winning bids seem to fall in the $45 to $65 range on ebay.
There was a Nude Marilyn Monroe bar that was minted by the World Wide Mint that was minted in1984. The World Wide Mint version of the Nude Marilyn Monroe bar will have a reverse side will have an oval that is stamped "One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver" along with the "WWM" initials under that weight and purity stamp that is inside that oval. The 4th edition Archie Kidd silver art bar guide book lists a mintage number of 2000 for the World Wide Mint version of Marylin Monroe. Those tend to fetch decent premiums on ebay at close to the same premium as the 1973 Colonial Mint version.
According to the 6th edition of the Archie Kidd silver art bar price guide, there was also a Robert E. Westfall version of the Nude Marylin Monroe silver art bar that was minted in 1990. The reverse side of that one will have a "Big 1" in the middle along with the weight and purity stamp.
Without the picture of the reverse side of this bar, then I am going to guess that you have the 1973 Colonial Mint version of the Nude Marylin Monroe silver art bar.
In my opinion, the 1973 Colonial Mint version of Marilyn Monroe silver art bar is the best one that was minted and it is a keeper because of the incussed reverse. Actually any Marilyn Monroe bar (or round) is a keeper but if I was forced to choose only one to have, then it is the 1973 Colonial Mint version.

I'm glad he's hiding his bar.
<< <i>With only 1500 minted, that might be a bar worth buying. Just need to try and market it the blue haired lady crowd.
Are you calling Dorkgirl a blue haired old lady?
