    Hi all,

    I am thinking of selling 2x 5oz Perth Mint silver bars and am looking to get an idea of how much they sell for.

    TIA.

    Post photos and we'll be able to give a better estimate. There's a few different types of 5oz so depends on which type you have. Some get very wet over certain types so hopefully you're in luck :) Last auction for a 5oz on here that I remember ended around $400.

    A - Small digit 5 with Incused oz , Large purity 999, Serial on back
    B - Large digit 5 with OZS oz , Large purity 999 Serial on back
    C - Large digit 5 with OZS oz , Small purity 999 Serial on back

    Thanks for that!

    I'm having trouble posting photos (I think it's because I'm new?)

    From your photo they are B, if that helps?

    Upload your photo to http://m.imgur.com/upload and use the BBcode to post the photo (under link on the left side).

    I'm no 5oz cognoscenti but I think the A type is the preference for the collector but the B type fares well.

    Are you auctioning it or looking for a private sale? Either way as a new member you'll probably have to send first. What's your location?

    You're a helpful sort!

    Umm, I'm not too sure about auctioning or private sale. Any recommendations for a newbie? I'm in Perth currently.

    I do try :)

    Not bad, better with a pouch. Maybe put up an EOI and then decide if you'll put them to auction. As I said before, you're the new guy so you may have to send first, wait until bar is received and then take payment. Message me if you have any questions about the process.

    Millicent, make sure you milk the most out of those 2 bars. Plenty of ready buyers here and abroad.

    If I was you I would test the market/auction it off. Just the heads up, as you are new and have no previous feedback some members here would want you to post first before they transfer you the money. Otherwise F2F transaction might be a better option. If you elect for the former make sure the buyer has a good number of positive feedback. Cheers

    Auction will determine market value.

    Yes guys when chipmonk makes a private deal with an unverified new member who has 2 rare Perth mint bars and rare felt bag but no pictures of bars serial numbers we should respect his privacy and millicent's who I am sure we will see again in the future.
    So please refrain from accusations of fake accounts or fake trades to promote the marketing of bars and I especially don't think it is fair to accuse anyone of pumping and dumping

    I am not mocking around nor accusing anyone just to make it clear. Trade looks decent and of course if Chip auctions them we might know the final price on each maybe as he is as a buyer in right not to say how much he paid for it.

    Again to make it clear I just admire his speed and experience on buying and selling things on this forum THATS ALL!
