Big shout out to greedy kobold who helped me out with my latest purchase A highly valued silver stacker
Quite a piece of JM history here, sir! Was happy to help. Keen to learn where the thing in the center came from, UK? What about the top and the most right ones, both from AU?
VERY NICE!! Thank you Governor! As we speak I am cataloging two of silver frost bullion boxes .... what do I find? something that looks very much like the button at 12 o'clock in your picture. This one is still in the JM plastic sleeve. When I work out how to compress images I will post. I don't know much about it except it was purchased in Sydney between 1987-90
Exquisite bar from Macau. Brand dates back to 1867. Unfortunately, I can't find credible leads to the exact era it is made. Current reference: http://oche1867.com/
A rather plain but nice bar. Stamped 永亨銀號 (Wing Hang Bank), the bank's former name before formally incorporated and granted a banking licence in Hong Kong in 1960 and renamed 永亨銀行. In short, bar is dated to 1960 or prior.
Great to know that. Well, I collect them. Frankly speaking, I can't knowingly find them.. only manage to chance upon when luck is on my side. These are decades old with design and wording one no longer see in modern-day bullion. Something to ponder: In the context of an Asian migrant city during 1950s or 1960s where many people were struggling to put food on the table, how many can afford or willing to buy gold bars (5tael or 6oz per bar in this case)? And how many such bars survive to date? If you ask me, I'd say probability is low and collectibility is high
