    The main ones to look out for that are rare and popular silver art bars for collectors are the following:

    1.) World Wide Mint "75th Anniversary" Coca-Cola

    2.) Greathouse Productions - minted in the 1970's and 1980's

    3.) Green Country Mint - minted in the late '70's

    4.) Duane Spellman's The Mint - sports-themed bars that were minted in the late 1970's and the enameled-sports-themed bars that were minted in the 1980's to early 1990's.

    5.) Adult-themed bars (varying mints and varying mint years)

    There are more than what I listed but those are the main ones and those above 5 mentioned cover a lot of silver art bars.

    I Have a little story, These older Art Bars were my first Silver investment. Back in the 80's I bought a Remington shot gun at a yard sale for $80.00 It was a very nice gun. I used it for years until about 5 years or so ago I did not figure I really needed it anymore. so I sold it to a future relative. And made a nice little profit. One day I was cruising eBay and saw the Art bars. Silver was hovering around $16.50 an oz I think. So I took the money I had made on the Gun and made my first Silver purchase. The 4 older bars in the pic. After bidding I picked them up for about $15.00 a piece below spot. Do you think these type will sell for above spot these day's? And I also looked at the adult bars at that time but did not know if I would be able to sell them or not, Remember I was a nubee, LOL.

    Currently on average, the common silver art bars will sell between $5 to $10 over spot silver on ebay and that includes most of the '70's holiday-themed bars. Many of the rare and hard-to-find silver art bars will go for much more than that on ebay. It depends on the demand and the type of silver art bar. It is hard to predict future premiums on certain silver art bars because the demand for a particular one can and will change. Adult-themed bars are sold on ebay but not always in the bullion section of ebay because of the nudity involved. There is an adult section on ebay where most of those bars are put up for auction.

    Found them. :)

    Searched, "Adult Silver Art Bar" and there was nothing to see, but then I clicked on completed auctions and found some.
    Guess there just is none listed for sale at this time?
