Anyone know anything about GA Analytical silver bars

I found 5 of these buried in my safe, so it's safe to say i've had them for awhile but I never educated myself about them. Must've been bought with a large purchase and I just set them aside and they kept getting pushed back.
Are they worth more than Spot? image LOL, they've got to be, but i'd like to know something about them if anyone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Don't know the history, but I'll say they will fetch 1.79 over spot.

    The only reason I say that is because that's what MPM is selling the few they have for.

    10oz GA Bars

    It's all about what the people want...

    It's on the Bay now
    Let's see if MPM's price is in line with what I will net after 6% in fees.
    Thanks to all those who've replied via messages, I appreciate the help.

    I have one 10 oz GA and probably I paid about $2 over. Mine went into the bullion stash. GA bars appear frequently on ebay.

    I don't know about that Mark. There's only 3 bars (2 from same seller) on there now and one is mine and the other guy wants stupid money and has relisted several times.
    If they're common, how come this one sold for $450 a few weeks ago?
    I don't have a cert. form, but let's be real, it's the bar that's worth money, the cert. is just a ncie bonus.
    Another one sold for $382 10 days ago. It's worth a shot to test the waters. If I do well, i'll list the other 4 I have.

    With these bars, imo, is always a matter of luck. They can sell for cheap or they can find two bidders willing to go way over spot.
    Hope the latter applies to your auction.

    That's just it, I don't think the are ultra rare or anything like that, but they seem to come up just infrequently enough to where 2 might go at it bidding.
    Thanks for the help and well wishes folks, I appreciate it. We'll all see if it was worth my while 23 hours from now lol.

    No.
  • Its up to $11.50 from $ 0.99 and over 22 hours yet to go! You got your two bidders, maybe you will have a dozen before its over.

    I paid $340 (shipped) on ebay for my Golden Analytical 10 oz bar in late March. I recall I made a best offer and it was accepted. Spot silver was $32.36 that evening.

    I cannot account for the person who paid $450. With luck that buyer will be looking for more of them.

    Its doing well on ebay!!
    I'd say you're meeting the criteria (min premium price and 6%) already, and the fun is only just starting.

    Should easily break the $400 line and go for the record. Good luck!

    Yeah but...how many people know that website and how many know eBay? After fees, net $325. Not bad for not knowing what I had and for the ugliest one of the bunch. image
