Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Just curious, no need to disclose the premium, obviously.

This is an example where I would send it in for certification if a TPG offered such services.

A very cool bar indeed, it's the first I've seen in that denomination. Congrats!

There was significant premium. OPA is correct and this bar came from Apmex.
FYI- Ampex worked with me on the price since the item literally has no history.
They had never seen this type of bar before not did anyone else I asked.

Capt, how can you be sure? Not presuming anything, just curious to know how an unique item can be identified as original/genuine. Thanks!
1. I'm satisfied it is real and Engelhard. If I had the extra cash I would have purchased it.
2. It is awesome.
Nicely done MJ.

My statement is literally true and accurate: I have no question that it is real.

A real "49'er!"
Apologies to the Dos Equis people.

Are the "5" of ".9995" and the "12" of "12 TR OZ." hand stamped as well as the "-49"?

Doesn't the apparent addition of serial numbers by hand interest anybody? My guess is that this bar was part of a special run and that this bar is number 49 of that batch. Any other ideas?
That collector I had in Chicago who had over 3,800 ounces, all different, in his gold collection did not have one. I still have his two poured 10 ozers, so I know he would have bought a 12 had he ever seen one.
I strongly suspect that this is the sole survivor of a single production run.

If the collector with 3,800 ounces did not have a 12 oz gold piece it is indeed rare.
I have a handful of silver items where only one example is known but the 12 oz gold piece is in a class by itself.
