There might be a slight premium for an older bar , but to me silver bars are worth their weight in silver unless they're really old like US assay bars or treasure bars . Do you know the age of your bar ? JMHO .
even though it is .999 fine? it does not have any extra value? I just know that it says 1983 on the face to the left
If it did not say .999 fine it would be worth less than spot. If it were just blank, without any finess printed on it, most buyers wouldn't even consider purchasing it.
I'm not complaining by any means. 10 ounces of free silver is sweet. I never had anything .999 so I was asking as an educational question.
why does the .999 make a difference? if you could prove that it is silver why would they not consider buying it. another learning question
I've seen that bar plenty of times before but I wouldn't expect much more than melt on a bar like that. Have to remember that that is basically an off brand bar with questionable origins to the average dealer. I would expect 1-2% under spot on that bar from a good dealer.
"Free"? .999 is more the standard for such things; hence my question. It looks vaguely familiar, but is most likely bottom shelf (perhaps a bar collector could say for sure) and is exactly what I would've done with it. Some seem to gravitate to such bars because of the cost, while others prefer to avoid them, and so while I wouldn't expect a JM/Engelhard or collectible premium out of it, it is what it is.
There are collectors of older silver bars who pay a premium fort certain types, but I don't know where they congregate other than YouTube.
