<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 1653252, member: 18828&quot;]A couple of silver art bars that I bought today on the 1st day of the TSNS coin show:</p><p><br /></p><p>Bar # 1:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/1974ANA_zpse2d2ad59.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/1974ANABack_zpsc315fe05.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a 1974 Madison Mint &quot;83rd A.N.A. Florida&quot; silver art bar. I paid $35.00 for it (spot silver was $28.58/oz). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bar #2:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/1971FranklinMint_zps55d24acf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/1971FranklinMintback_zpsbc4adfef.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/COScollect/1971FranklinMintside_zps9d16c6ec.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a &quot;10th Anniversary America in Space&quot; silver art bar. It is a sterling silver (.925 purity) silver art bar that was minted in 1971 by Franklin Mint. The weight of this bar is 1000 grains (2.08 troy oz&#039;s ---&gt; ~1.93 troy oz&#039;s equivalent .999 pure silver). Currently, this is the only sterling silver art bar that I have in my entire silver art bar collection. I paid $60.00 for this bar (Actual silver bullion value for this bar = $55.16). I usually do not buy sterling silver art bars but I made an exception here because 1.) I do not have a Franklin Mint art bar in my collection and 2.) I like this particular theme on this bar and this is the first time that I have seen this particular Franklin Mint bar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
