Engelhard ~ New thread on this items, anything to do with this brand. Just for Silver Stackers record Source:
according to this site: http://about.ag/Engelhard-10oz.htm P-Series, wide, poured, waffle back, original '99 9' design [Serial #] Flat These have tapered edges (sides slanting inwards from top to bottom), so the top has more surface area than the bottom. NOTE: There is also a variety like this, with a flat back, before around P010000 to P014000 . Mintage 75,000 to 80,000
My closet is empty of clothes, my drawers hold no jewellery, I just collect small bars, especially Engelhards. : )
Nice thread, I could add a few pics I don't have this one anymore but it's a beauty And this big sucker! I got some 1oz minted bars also ill get some pics of soon.
I m glad I start this thread. Maggie that 100 g engelhard, wow ; I mean Wow . Something different not everyday to see bars. No one beat Maggie collection so far. It is wonderful to share show everyone. What different type engelhard have. Many thanks to all for sharing. I m sure more to come.
came across into this engelhard australia. 1oz silver bar. hardly seen this available in australia. are they still in production?
It's nearly impossible to get involved in stacking and not notice that this brand somehow plays a special role. But (although I fear that this question could be considered as blasphemy in this thread) : What is so special about them? Of course, some of the older, poured bars have this special flair, like, ... like,... yeah: Like all older, poured bars Is is the diversity? It might be interesting for collectors, but I think this makes it hard to recognize fakes. Maybe I missed some important point here...
I put it akin to feeling a connection with a song or music there are some bars that can do it for you also and Engelhard have a magic touch for me anyway. Best way to explain it is if you are into Fabric, there are some you just love to hold, wear and feel on. I will settle for an Engelhard.
Admittedly, this statement is particularly hard to understand (for me, at least) : Due to the tremendous diversity of their bars, there is hardly anything that makes them "unique" in that sense. They have so many different sizes and shapes and styles, and they literally have nothing in common (not even the logo...). But again, I can imagine that this is exactly what makes them interesting for collectors. Maybe it's also simply the fact that they are no longer made? However, now that I noticed that I wrote my previous post on 8th of March, the birthday of the company funder Charles Engelhard Sr., it sounds even more blasphemic Apologies for that
I have been looking for a 2oz Silver Engelhard for a long time. These little treasures will do for now.
Hmm, just trying to imagine Maggie's closet ... stuffed full of Engelhard bars :lol: :lol: Maggie, have you seen this page? http://about.ag/Engelhard-OddSizes.htm
