[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 1072832, member: 15915"]That will be really difficult with the bullion round that you own and here is why :) There are primarily 4 kinds of bullion rounds/bars. Generic, semi-generic, well-known minted, or nationally minted rounds/bars. American Silver Eagle's are popular Nationally minted round, Well-known could be a company like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelhard"]Engelhard[/URL]. What you have is a Generic, meaning no company has claimed it as their own with a makers mark on it. It was created simply to, for all time, allow the measurement of holding one troy ounce of silver in your hand to trade with. It was never meant to be collected or studied or appreciated for it's artful appearance and credited to anything. Hence it is simply generic in every sense of the meaning ;)[/QUOTE]
