Oldps reimaged: Southeast Refinery

Weiss

In 2006-2007 I began dabbling in PMs after a long hiatus. By late 2008 I was sinking deep. My dealer knew to hold anything interesting with a low premium back for me, I was visiting him daily and paying cash.

These rolled in to his shop early 2009 and I grabbed them for $15 each:



These were apparently produced in the mid-1980s. They're kind of neat, because even though they're only 1 ounce bars (you can still find rounds, 10 ounce and even 100 ounce bars from them), they're individually numbered. Some are currently listed on eBay at crazy prices, but I think that's wishful thinking by the seller. A bit over melt seems to be what they sell for online.

Nice looking bars.
Variety is the spice of life, it's nice in my opinion having some different refiners/pm's.
Do you know if the refiner went out of business since the 80's, or if are they still producing today?

Thanks for sharing

Johnny, they are still incorporated but I've read they stopped being a bullion company and switched over to rare coins many years ago.

One of the bars has a dropped serial number, thought it was kinda neat:

Neat bars..how many were there? I do not stack bars, but have a few 'interesting' ones - not from refiners, just art bars. My favorite is one of Secretariat, the race horse. Cheers, RickO

There were 15 and I bought them all.
