This one is really cool! Made with silver straight from their mines in Mexico!

Very nice, I like it !!!

Really nice product IMO! Very different than the precise cut matte finished kilos they have produced in the past.

I agree, the others are machine made and sand blasted I think and I much prefer the good old fashioned poured type.

do pours have a premium?

Not really, not the new stuff. But I like them anyway.
The older stuff, Engelhard, JM, etc. indeed have premiums.

This bar was $510, about a buck over. I think that's a very fair price for the product...

mapleman · May 10, 2019 9:09AM

I think there's an RMC logo on face. I really like this bar's look.

That is a nice bar....has a clean look.... and hefty. Cheers, RickO

Yeah, Republic made the bar with silver supplied by the Mexican mines. It's pretty cool to have "fresh" silver in the bar...

It's a standout for sure. Are you aware of any smaller bars?

johnny9434 · May 10, 2019 10:08AM

I like the finish on that

Out of curiosity, I did some research and saw they make 1oz round, 5 and 10 oz bars, (all stamped)
The kilos are mostly machined and look sandblasted, but some are poured like mine. I also found out that Republic that made my bar, out of Miami, FL is bankrupt and Asahi bought them out. So no more Republic bars will be made from what I understand...

Thanks. That also explains why I haven't seen as many 1oz RMC au bars while searching for deals in bars.
I haven't had an ashai in hand but they look fine to me. I recall reading that they took over JM in Canada a few years back. Regardless, nice bar. I'll look out for them. Thanks.

The Asahi bars look nice I agree...
