    @Jinx86 ... What is the weight of that bar? Cheers, RickO

    It has 107.08 written on it so I would assume that's the weight in Troy ounces.

    @PerryHall ... I saw that number, did not see a decimal...and saw 7.5 on the other side. So had no idea what was represented. Thanks... Cheers, RickO

    Most of those grease bars weigh around 100 ounces so I assumed the decimal point got rubbed off or was very faint. I'm not certain what the significance of the 7.5 is though.

    I might skip the 11-D.. not sure yet. They get pricey real fast and I'm not sure they are that "rare." I may just move on to other things and revisit that coin later... We'll see what pops up!

    Recently picked this up off of C-list for way less than melt. Only the 5ver is real gold.

    I wish. But no. Probably paid a little more than I can easily sell it for. I just decided to pick something off a list of art bars that i thought would be interesting to look at, all in the name of free shipping.

    A few years ago I went to our archives and asked if they had any of those silver bars. Nada

    Yes, that. I had a choice between that one or the Mt. Hood bar. I figured there would be a much larger population of Texans than Oregonians to sell to in the event i ever decide to part with it.

    JK....on the Mt Hood bar. Apparently, they are rare and sell for $700 or so. The Houston bars sell for $35-50 on eBay, which translates to around spot minus $2 here in this forum.

    Back in the day, I cherry picked 2 Mt. Hood art bars here in Oregon for around $20 each. Both were very profitable flips.

    Those are nice for a commercial bar.
    You know the rules though :)
    I didn't catch what you paid. Lol.

    I picked up some generic @ $1 over spot last week.

    Nice pickup @asheland , similar to my last pick…

    I found this one in PCGS 69 with a solid gasket holder. Very pleased with my newest smallest panda.

    It's all about what the people want...
