[QUOTE="juris klavins, post: 3130755, member: 76693"][url]https://silveringot.blogspot.com/search?q=engelhard[/url] Try this site for a wealth of info about hand poured silver ingots - although the 5, 10 and 100 T. oz. ingots are most common, there are plenty of 'exact weight' bars (i.e. 12.84 T. oz.) from obscure manufacturers out there - most of the hand poured items command larger premiums than machine stamped commercial bullion and old Engelhard ingots are the preferred brand for collectors, selling for the highest premiums. There was little interest in .999 silver until the 1970s, when the Hunt bros. attempted to corner the silver market - after that artificial price spike, bulk melting of silver inventories and the subsequent return to 'normal levels', surviving silver bars and ingots became collectibles (see the Archie Kidd guides). Beware the obscure hand poured ingots - authenticity is always an issue and resale is difficult without proof of .999 purity. [ATTACH=full]798520[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
