<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 602252, member: 18828&quot;]I won an ebay auction for 1-oz silver art bar on May 24, 2009. I received it in the mail today. Here are some pics:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48280.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48281.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48282.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took these pictures using my HP DeskJet F300 All-In-One Scanner/Printer/Copier.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the 3rd pic, I had to darken it to get the writing on the reverse side of the bar to become a little more legible. That is the best I can do with that 3rd pic.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note: I always weigh my ebay silver purchases using a digital scale. This silver art bar came in at 30.6 grams which is under weight, however, there is a 0.1 - 0.5 gram variance when it comes to the weight of 1-oz 1970&#039;s silver art bars. That is especially true for 1-oz &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that were minted by the Ceeco Mint and the Madison Mint. That is not a red flag in this case. This silver bar passed the silver &quot;ring&quot; test so I am not worried about it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I paid $16.61 for this silver art bar (spot silver was $14.69/oz at the time that I won this ebay auction). The shipping was free. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is a 1974 Hamilton Mint &quot;Cherry Blossoms of the Potomac&quot; silver art bar. This 1-oz silver bar was part of the &quot;America the Beautiful&quot; series. The &quot;America The Beautiful&quot; series was minted in the years 1974 and 1975 by the Hamilton Mint. The side of the bar has a serial number on it. The serial number is 2766.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, the ebay transaction went smoothly and there were no issues with the ebay seller or with this silver art bar. IMO it is rare on ebay to find and win an auction for a 1970&#039;s silver art bar for $1.92 over spot silver. I am very happy with my purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
