Johnson Matthey 5 gram Silver Shipwreck Bar

Out4uv8

Hello, I've become a collector of the JM 5 gram Shipwreck bars. I'm up to 5 and continue to search for more. Most people haven't seen them or don't know what they are, but I've seen them mentioned on here and there's a few sites as well as youtube that talk about them. Here are the facts that I have, can anyone add to this:

1982 or 1983 20,000 pieces made from silver from a shipwreck
Numbered
Blank back


1. I would be interested in any info that anyone else has on them that is provable.
2. If anyone has any that they would be willing to sell, I'd love to purchase.

Thank you.

Those are neat little bars ...I have always wanted that one and the koala as well.

They usually go for $100 bucks plus on ebay so they are far from your average piece of bullion....hell they are far from your average overprice piece of bullion.

Do you have the assay card? Its something cheesy like made by JM for "treasure mint" or someting like that for an American company.

If you get the assay card it will usually have the date.( at least its that way for gold grams)

I have 2 of each Koala and Shipwreck.
I do not have the COA but have seen it.

One of my SW is Serial #80 sealed!
