Got this two weeks ago at $31, and finally had time to look it up, posted in Friday porn along with some other cheap buy junk silver.

    Hmm. Might have something (or everything) to do with the maker. I'm not familiar with "MA". But I have MTB bars made by Engelhard and JM.

    Does yours have the "MA" mark on it, or another mark? Can we get a shot of the back?

    Yep, its an MA. Get your point and see some JMs as well. Tricky.

    But I see even MA have a good selling price,
    so I'll see how it goes when spot spikes up and will let you know. I'll put a watch
    on several different ones in the chain to see what they actually sell for.

    Gladly sell off one once to get two ounces in return. But any good deal balances that I was
    a bit overcharged for the 90%.

    I believe I have Statue of Liberty bars produced for MTB by JM and Metal Arts and they are very similar. I can't remember if I have such a bar by Engelhard, but I don't recall so. I don't know the values of them but they are very beautiful bars and Metal Arts does usually command a premium.

    Nice catch!

  • In a previous thread, member jfoot13 shared this info.
    "The "MA" below the .999 stamp on reverse refers to Medallic Art of Nevada who minted these bars from JM, Engelhard silver or in this case privately obtained or existing stock for retail distributor Monfra, Tordella & Brooks of New York.

    I regret having sold the 1/10 Au round...

    Thank all of you guys so much for having and sharing all this knowledge.

    I can't believe it but in a totally different shop today, I got that liberty silver coin,
    with the 1986 mark on the back, however 1986 centennial in tiny letters on the front.

    That and 2, Littleton sealed BU ASEs for $94.
