Thanks Frank, bar arrived today.
Some info I was able to dig up on these Whites 25oz bars.
This I found on their website:
_"In the late 1980’s business had taken off at White’s Electronics. The company wanted to offer something rare, valuable, and precious to very special individuals who had helped the company succeed. So the decision was made to commission a small batch of 25 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Bullion Bars stamped with the legendary White’s logo. Unlike other bullion bars, which are machined and processed, the White’s specimens have a raw, fresh-poured shape and finish, preserving the natural essence of the silver. With a fine luster like no other, these bars are highly sought-after by collectors around the world.
Through the following decades a limited few were given to certain individuals in the metal detecting community, but many were protected in the factory vault as the price of silver went up. This Christmas White’s is offering up one 25oz bar from our private collection, and one very lucky customer will win it on December 23rd, 2016."_
I have since learned there were a total of 1000-25oz bars made for this occasion.
500 were made in 1985, and the other 500 were made in 1987
Of the 1000 bars, only 747 were actually given away, sold or donated/prizes.
The other 253 have been transferred over to one of the White's family members as "personal property" from the company, and until the bars are transferred back to White's Electronics property, they are not for sale or available.
