Would you purchase a PCGS themed bar minted by the Royal Canadian Mint?

The thread mentioning the ebay themed RCM bars makes me think there may be a market for themed bars. An example could very well be PCGS... and many others. Would you be a buyer of these types of bars? Would you pay more for a specific serial number?
I myself... would have some interest in it, but premium cannot be too extravagant...
Perhaps PCGS has already thought about doing this. If not... perhaps may be an interesting venture.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Can you imagine a 10 oz bar slabbed?
But yes,,,, I would be very interested in a RCM PCGS labeled bar.
Even better a US made bar from a maker such as SilverTowne.
They should only be for sale to authorized dealers and collectors club members.

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......

If they were priced cheap enough, I bet you guys would buy some.

Do you see that as a possibility?
I do not.

It's not only a possibility but it actually happened. When the ebay/RCM bars were first offered on ebay they were priced a little below what the plain RCM bars were selling for on ebay which is why I bought them. Since the initial offering went so fast they raised their price on subsequent offerings. I would never pay a premium for what essentially is advertising on the top of a name brand silver bar. When I buy silver I look for recognized name-brand manufacturers and if the price is good I'll buy it in spite of "ebay" or "PCGS" being stamped at the top of the bar.

Does anyone know if there exist any PCGS related bars or rounds? Never thought of it before until seeing this topic, but seems like a possibility in their 30 years. Maybe something somewhat obscure like the rounds that the Red Book used to issue.
I'm guessing there is not as I don't recall ever seeing or hearing of one. But maybe some bar collectors have.

Does anyone know who wholesales these RCM bars, A-Mark, Elemental etc?
Coins 'N Things ebay handle: baypreciousmetals was the sole distributor for the eBay RCM bars. Most major bullion dealers do handle the regular RCM bars i/e APMEX, Provident Mint & JMbullion, just to mention a few. It's unlikely that Elemetal Mint ( formerly OPM .. Ohio Precious Metals) will ever be involved, since they refine and produce their own named brand bars.
Here is a link for them

Thank you! I'll look up coins and things , the link did not work.
