<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 1007122, member: 18828&quot;]The following bar is not a silver art bar minted in the 1970&#039;s but it is an interesting find in what I thought was an unusual place from where I usually find silver art bars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/ChattChooChooFront.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/ChattChooChooBack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a 1-oz &quot;Centennial Chattanooga Choo-Choo&quot; silver art bar.&nbsp; Minted in 1980 but I do not know what private minted produced it and I do not know how many were minted.&nbsp; The &quot;A0607&quot; stamp is the serial number.&nbsp; The 4th edition of the Archie Kidd book does have it listed but there is no information on it.&nbsp; The 5th edition Archie Kidd silver bar price guide might have some updated information on this art bar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this silver art bar at a flea market in Tennessee today.&nbsp; I usually do not go to flea markets to find silver art bars but this was an unexpected find for me in what I thought was an unusual place.&nbsp; I usually go to my local coin dealers and to coin shows to find silver art bars.&nbsp; I guess I will start going to flea markets more often now. I paid $24.00 for this bar. (Spot silver finished at $22.09/oz).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember seeing this silver art bar on ebay but I do not see it that much there and I spend a lot of time looking at silver art bars on ebay.&nbsp; Within the last year or so, I have seen only 2 regular ebay auctions on this Chattanooga Choo-Choo silver art bar but the last auction that I have seen on this particular art bar was several months ago.&nbsp; The last ebay winning auction price for this bar that I remember seeing was $61.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I love this silver art bar.&nbsp; I feel good finding interesting silver art bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
