When did Johnson-Mattey and Engelhard stop making silver bars?

Anyone know what year they stopped making silver bars in the 100 oz and smaller sizes? Any idea when they switched from poured bars to struck bars? I own a few of each and I was just curious as to how old they are.

    Not completely sure, but I want to say mid to late '80's is when they switched from poured to extracted (struck). I could be wrong though, I just started getting into .999 seriously only a year or so ago. Was/am always a coin and junk 90% guy.

    Neither one could compete against the ASE's when first issued in 1986. Both stopped producing bullion bars & rounds by 1988.

    I am fairly sure that JM is still making some new bars, mostly 100 oz.
