Just in case you are looking for a gold bar under melt value (unless the bidding goes up!!) Haha Well, still cool to look at. https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...ellogg-amp-Humbert-Gold-Ingot-15853-Oz-296906
Is the stamped weight for the entire bar? Or the assayed amount of gold in the bar? Also, it looks like it may weigh a little less with the bottom right corner shaved off.
That's a little more then Cleaned with hairlines Wonder if the authenticator took the bite out of it as pay.
At 1276/oz I make it a little over $183,000 in gold. 90.6 seems odd. But now I see it's from an 1857 shipwreck, so it's not odd. Is there a premium because it's a bar? I see it is $181,100 now. What will this sell for $188,000?
Will be interesting to see what it sells for. I bet there is a good premium when it sells. The shipwreck I bet gets this bar bid up!
S.S. Central America shipwreck, which sunk on September 12, 1857, Figure closer to 2x spot for the cool factor .
I didn't realize the closing auction bids are 3 weeks away. I will put in my lowball guess here $225,000.
15% buyers premium adds another $27,000 so its no where near under melt even with 3 weeks bidding remaining.
$225,000 +15% = 258,750 that's my final answer. 67 bids still at 181,100 but I assume this is going to get sniped at the end. Those programs should not be allowed. It's not really an auction if you have computers bidding against each other in the last seconds. One of the things that turned me off about EBay. Does Great Collections allow sniping programs?
