Reportedly, a very rare bar up for auction @ HA. It's very nice, but it's far too pricey for me.

Exceeding cool Rothschild bar. Should bring 25K+

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......

Cool bar but there are too many coins and bars that I'd rather buy for what this bar will sell for.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Interesting for collectors, but way too expensive for stackers.... and I am a stacker

Poured gold is very nice to look at.

Now I know I'm not the only one who is underwhelmed with this bar.
There are no interesting graphics, no logo, no vintage-looking fonts. No obsolete or obscure weight--or weight of any kind, for that matter (it clocks in at a dull 5 troy ounces, BTW).
No value given in dollars, lira, pounds or some other obsolete currency. No ultra-low serial number...no serial number at all.
HA doesn't make a claim to any important era or event. It wasn't owned by a famous outlaw or royal family. It wasn't the first or the last of anything. It wasn't struck from the gold of some fabled treasure, pirate ship, or ransom. They think they know when it was made (relatively recently). But of course without a date or serial number, it's just a guess.
It is entirely institutional looking. Industrial, like a lead billet made for fishing weights or buckshot. It is the opposite of exotic--it's downright boring.

Nice, but too rich for my blood !!!
Gotta agree with you. When we bought in that huge collection of gold bars at Harlan Berk's there were one or two Rothchild bars from the 1950's, and I couldn't get more than 101% for it (them).
A boring bar.
