    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.

    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!

    I didn't realize gold was so low, so I changed the arithmetic.

    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?
