100-Oz. Bullion Bars from CRI?

PipestonePete

Is there any premium for this style of 100-Oz. silver bars from CRI? I am quite certain that this bar is more than 20 years old. I have 5 of these.

I've never seen that style before. A little too crude for my taste. Looks like it was made by someone with a letter/number punch set.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't want one even at a discount.

Smaller bars with off brands can be kind of cool and fun.

But gambling on purity, weight, etc. with 100 ounce money? Too rich for my blood.

Just my personal opinion, but I would ship them off to a large bullion dealer or refiner and trade them up for other forms of .999 fine bullion or have them melted, assayed, and poured into another form of my liking.

I've done that with no name 100 oz or garbage fantasy NAZI silver bars, just to get them out of circulation.

Thanks for the advice. I am handling these bars for my local hospital. Apparently these have been created by having X-ray images refined for their silver content. So are you recommending that I "trade up" to brand-name bars and then sell those?

If you're going for cash, just sell them to a refiner and take the cash. Upgrading is for investment purposes or longer term holding.
