I've seen TNT bars before, here in Vegas. I'm thinking it was a local maker but might be wrong on that. I have not seen one in many, many years. I bought two 100 ozers in Boulder City probably 15 years ago now. Sold them for a slight profit on ebay. I remember that one got stuck at the bottom of a postal bin and nobody could reach it (at the destination facility) as it was in a very small box. Finally the buyer went to his PO and asked them to search and they found it and somebody actually turned the bin on it's side to retrieve. This was 30 days after I shipped and after I refunded. Buyer was straight up and re-paid. Thank goodness! Close call!

PS: I'll look for notes on it if I have any Smitty.

This one was bought by a customer in Laughlin, so I was thinking probably a local person. But couldn't find any info googling, of course I',\m not the best googler out there.
Thank AUAG
I'm thinking TNT became someone else like Nevada Mining? I was told what it was from my seller but for the life of me cannot remember the details......bought out or merged or failed and reopened under another name. I'm still searching....out to the garage next....boxes and boxes......ah crap.

Never saw that brand, but looks like a 1979-80 product and probably OK.

Interesting bar.

That is a big honkin' bar...
.... nice... Do bars this size sell fairly easy? Cheers, RickO
WOW! There's over 31,000 of these yet I've never seen one.
Sorry Smitty, no luck finding any info.
bob:(
I'm a 'sleuth' on the web and I have found nothing but I have not given up

I'm liking the look of it! A bit different than the typical bars
Good deals with KollectorKing, ChrisRx, Tookybandit, LukeMarshall, and Ajaan! On cointalk, Histman, Sakata, Blisskr, and a few others!
wow, now thats different
Looks to me like whoever made the CMI bars made these (or vice versa).
Those were made by the Constitution Mint Inc..circa 1970 - 1980 Provo Utah...Out of business for decades
Also very similar looking...
I've seen those in the past.

Let me know IF Anyone finds a 100 ounce for spot
Someday I'll get the fourth wheel
Good reason to stick with the ten ouncers.

Might want to check this out:

How much does it weigh?
Edit: That's a stupid question on it's face, I meant with the various nicks and such how much under 100 oz. is it sitting at?
