<p>[QUOTE="WmsJewelers, post: 342285, member: 12564"]Englehard is a good company but be careful with 100 oz bars as there are some that are bad. I have seen a few of these and I have not seen one come back at more then 55 oz. They are the same size and if you put them on a scale it weights 100oz but they are filled with another metal on the inside. I have also seen one 1000 oz bar like this a few years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best way to tell if it is good or not is to place it on a pill bottle or somthing of that nature and tap it with a small hammer. If it rings and holds the tone for a while it is good. All bad bars thud and loose the ring very fast as well as it is not as high pitched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
