<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 607999, member: 18828&quot;]I have not been on this forum that long but I love to collect these &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars on. I prefer to buy them locally because most of the time, I can buy them cheaper at my coin dealer and coin shows as opposed to ebay. I also like the challenge of finding these art bars locally. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are some of my favorite &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that I found locally:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48878.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a 1-oz &quot;The General&quot; silver art bar. This art bar was minted in 1972 by the Madison Mint. This is the &quot;error&quot; version of the &quot;General&quot; silver art bar. The reverse side of this silver art bar is blank. I bought this art bar in August 2008 at a coin show in North Georgia. I live in TN but I am close enough to GA that I can make a short drive over the state border. I paid $17.00 for this art bar when spot silver was $13.59/oz. At the time, ebay had them for well over $20 plus shipping. This was the art bar that got me started in collecting &#039;70&#039;s 1-oz silver art bars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is another &#039;70&#039;s silver art bar that I bought at a coin show in North Georgia:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48879.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]48880.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a 1-oz &quot;Watergate Bug&quot; silver art bar. This art bar was minted in 1974 by the Colonial Mint.

I bought this silver bar at a coin show in Tennessee in October 2008. I paid $15.00 for this art bar when spot silver was $9.86/oz. At the time, ebay was selling this art bar for an average of $20-$21 when you factor in shipping and insurance costs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I plan to buy many more &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars in the future at my local coin dealer and at coin shows. I will update this thread when I find and purchase &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that are considered my favorites. It will be a select few pics of any &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that I buy in the future. The pics that I posted on this thread and in my photo album on my public profile so far are just a small part of my entire 1970&#039;s silver art bar collection. These bars that I posted so far on this forum (this thread and my photo album) are my favorite &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
