    Both have heavy premium on ebay Im thinking $300 - $500 a piece maybe more or less depending on the day, but the 5oz bars have become very popular and desirable.

    Great pickupps!!

    I don't know what you paid, but yes those are a buy all day everyday if close to spot.
    Money to be made flipping these.
    You may want to get to know the dealer and see if they can alert you when this stuff comes in.

    I tried to find something cool at my local place and they were closed yesterday, I'm assuming a long holiday weekend.

    Oh yeah! Those fetch 4 figures all day long. Great pick ups!

    Okay…my last 20 oz. arrived today. No more of those now. 😁

    I retro fitted a 2 slab display box to house them. The length was a perfect fit and I just used some foam to fill the space width wise.

    Nice! 😎

    Picked these up from LCS. Checked the allenglehard site for info but not familiar enough to determine if these have any premium. Any info from forumites appreciated.

    Insanely cool find!!!

    YPS or Yeager's Poured Silver is still in business and a lot of their silver is available on eBay and at their web site and at most bullion dealer web sites. They're worth melt value plus a small premium. That's a very cool design. B)

    Martin,
    If your at the LCS and have your phone... snap a picture of what your looking at and Google lens search it.

    The YPS I recall was a recast of the Disney pirates of the Caribbean coin.
    Pretty cool, IMO YP should have gold plated some

    Well I have the frosted back, so I gotta have the mirror back too....right?

    Nice bars! 👍

    I have a new arrival.
    I can't keep it though and have to give it away :o

    I picked the 1997 1/10 eagle up for a coin club meeting Christmas dinner raffle prize.
    I'll get the $204 delivered reimbursed but now I just need to figure out how many $5 raffle tickets it's going to take to make it a keeper ;)

    Haha.. I knew someone would call me out. Nah, it never ends, lol.. There's still that IMPEX bar nagging at me but I've yet to see one.. then there will always be another, right?

    Engelhard only made a 1 ounce for IMPEX that I know of.. very tough to find and of course $$$

    That’s awesome! I got some similar bars like that a few months ago:

    We're too late Brother to this game. I wish I started years ago. I lucked out with a 3 & 5 ouncer but now they are untouchable!

    Absolute truth here, back in 2011 a bullion dealer sold me one of those for spot +1 dollar! I bought it for $99. $33/oz

    About a year or two later stupid me sold it off for regular silver price in a big bullion trade.

    I’ve been kicking myself ever since.

    @Meltdown i think I bought 2 of those 5 oz. bars from you. Foolishly, I sold them a while back. Wish I had them back.

    Yep. I also sold the two others that I had kept. I couldn't resist - A guy in Texas bought them for silly money. B)

    Prices have gone crazy! I think anything Engelhard is smart buy nowadays. Even the “common” 1 ounce bars are seeing increased premiums. Get them now while they are cheap.. Demand is there IMO!

    I have a similar story... in 2016, my local dealer sold me 5 -3oz Engelhard loafs for the standard price of silver. Spot + 1.75
    I kept them for a couple years but couldn't help flipping them later down the road.
    I didn't even really need the cash, just seemed silly to not take advantage the premium... fast forward to today and It would have been REALLY profitable. (I can't find those photos darnit)

    A couple years back they had another batch of nice 5oz loafs come in. I had to pay up for these though, at the time I only had enough cash for 4 of them.

    Looks a little like the one I have:

    I think I paid 45 to $50 an ounce somewhere in that range it was just under 250. I just can’t remember exactly what I paid a little high, but I liked the bar.

    I got this one yesterday:
