<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 992146, member: 18828&quot;]That is good that you are able to pick up older silver art bars and rounds at the local coin shop.&nbsp; That is what I have been doing for the last 2 years and I find some rare and interesting &#039;70&#039;s silver art bar finds there at a decent premium over spot.&nbsp; You never know what you will find when you go to the coin shop.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1973 &quot;Texas Rangers&quot; silver art bar was minted by the Patrick Mint (Barry Hepsley).&nbsp; According to the 4th edition of Archie Kidd&#039;s guidebook called &quot;An Indexed Guide Book of Silver Art Bars&quot;, Barry Hepsley designed the &quot;Texas Tangers&quot; theme on that Texas Rangers silver art bar when he worked at the Patrick Mint.&nbsp; The &quot;Cable Car&quot; silver art bar was also minted by the Patrick Mint in 1973 but I do not think that it was by Barry Hepsley. I did not see that mentioned in the price guide.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;California 500&quot; silver art bar was minted in Switzerland in 1973.&nbsp; I do not know the exact name of the Switzerland mint that made it but the silver art bar price guide just mentions that it was made in Switzerland.&nbsp; I am also not sure about who minted the silver art rounds pictured but the Noland Ryan and other sports oriented silver art rounds that I have seen with the same format appear to be minted by the same mint since it appears that the Nolan Ryan art round has a serial number on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen several Thanksgiving rounds at the local shop and at coin shows but I do not think that I have seen a Thanksgiving art bar such as the one show in the picture.&nbsp; I also have a Thanksgiving silver art bar but the one that I have was minted by the Madison Mint in 1974.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
