Engelhard Silver Bars - Question

GRANDAM

Did 5 oz or 10 oz Engelhard Bars ever come factory sealed in plastic.

I have several 10 oz Engelhard bars in plastic and “assume” they were factory sealed but do not “know” for a fact. I don’t recall ever seeing a sealed 5 ozer.

I’ve had several 10 oz bars in plastic as well.

GRANDAM

Yes, I see sealed bars on eBay but wonder if they are factory sealed by Engelhard?

I would think many collectors seal their 'special' bars to protect them.... Cheers, RickO

I DNT think poured engelhard bars came sealed except maybe the ones that came is box or display sets. The newer 10oz machine pressed bars did however. I've had quite a few

This is what I was thinking but not sure of.

Thanks for the replies.

They did, the newer struck types, I've seen many over the years.
Many however over the years have gotten brittle and split open so many have been discarded.
