Message:: [QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 977008, member: 18828"]A couple of '70's silver art bars that I picked up today at a coin show............ The first one....... <img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/PrairieSoonerFront.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/PrairieSoonerBack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> A 1-oz "Prairie Schooner" silver art bar (PAT-11).  It was minted by the Patrick Mint in 1973.  I paid $20.00 for it (spot closed at $18.02).  The second one......... <img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/GrafFront.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/GrafBack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/GrafSide.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> A 1-oz "Graf Zeppelin" silver art bar (ONE-5).  It was minted by One Mint in 1973, however, the 4th edition Archie Kidd silver art bar price guide mentions that there were two separate mints that used the same reverse and the Sierra Mint was one of those mints that used the reverse type shown above.  Mintage of 2500 according to the silver art bar price guide.  Serial # 2400.  I paid $18.50 for it (spot closed at $18.02).[/QUOTE]
