    There were two on the site, the other is still available:

    @asheland .... Thanks for the link... Nice size, but that price is way out of line.... I expected around $400... Not $1200. Cheers, RickO

    After several years of patience, this finally walked into my work. >:)

    I’ve been looking for one of these, for several years.
    Plain back:

    Those are considered rare to some extent.
    I must have missed you're want ad :)
    I picked up a four pack of consecutive numbered in plastic.

    Not particularly, I’m just always on the lookout for really nice coins, and this one has been on my want list for a while, for my gold type set…

    I picked up an old man round for $40 and then had to go back and price check a WTC Recovery Silver Eagle.
    That was reasonable at $60 and I picked it up.
    Everything else I felt was overpriced more than what I got.

    Picked this up today along with a couple one oz Bunker Hill flat bars

    I have had this old JM for so long I can't remember. I worked underground at the Bunker Hill the summers of '75 and '76.

    Surprised to see great quality Enghelard rounds still in the wild. Got some recently.

    @asheland ... Nice... I like any gold coin - though I prefer the big ones. I do have a couple of tiny Mexican gold coins though. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks! Indeed, the larger, the better with gold, but I'm an Engelhard collector so this one was a great find for me. :)

    Very cool, the video was neat too. I love the old carded Engelhard stuff. I've got a carded 1/2oz gold bar but that's it. The premiums on the carded Eng stuff is usually kind of insane.

    Yeah, if it's in the original card, it's hard to pass up! I was happy with it, especially at the $190 price tag. >:)

    It’s for the collection, but, should I tire of it, that’s a very fair offer that I’d do.

    Fair enough. I have a small collection of Engelhard Prospectors, but always looking for more. Specifically 1/10oz, 1/4oz and 1/2oz examples.

    That's a great deal Ash.
    Let me know if you need any prodding to seal the deal...I won't even charge you a brokering fee.

    @D808LF .... That is a nice looking Rooster coin... Also a popular one, in that denomination, was frequently used. Cheers, RickO
