    Perth Mint 20oz bar, vintage style. I am surprised to see how thin they are compared to other vintage bar...thinner than all of 10oz perth mint bar.

    If you want it so much why is it in your signature for sale?

    Oh. My apologies. It's just if I stayed close to Perth Mint, I would visit every single day to see their buy backs. Definitely bound to find a vintage bar at normal price. :)

    years ago yes, not today.
    Many of the old bars get melt down today.
    :(

    That is their policy.

    Anyone got any idea how much a 100 oz type C bar would be worth serial number on the back

    Pics added, also with these old bars, obviously more sought after because there are not that many of them. Is there a collection of these at the mint? Like a museum?

    You would think the mint would keep examples of older bars on display, a lot of history is lost or destroyed, kind of a shame......

    If I'm not wrong, I read somewhere that they get tax relief for melting down old bars? Not sure if I dreamt of this. Haha!

    Some Perth Mint 50oz bars:

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Left is 111x54x25mm, right is 112x56x23mm. Definitely different casting moulds and processes - the left has a cooling dimple which the modern production bars don't have.

    Here is a 1kg bar I got a couple of years ago, it has the current stamp but the finish is rather unique (swirls instead of the flat dull finish). Nothing like any other current 1kg bar I have seen pictures of.

    Does anyone have anymore info about them? I have a few like this but this is the pick out of them.

    PM's website says no, do not sell.

    However considering it is on the LBMA Good Delivery Lists, I would have thought they would.

    Maybe Bron can help ?
