Vintage 1oz Engelhard Gold Cast Bars

Just how rare are these bars?
Been a collector of rare gold cast bars for many years and always had great difficulty sourcing an Engelhard at a decent price; however lately the flood gates has opened.
In the past month I have managed to source over half a dozen examples at reasonable premiums ($200 above spot) which seems to be the going rate on Silverstackers at present.
A member here claims there are only about 1000 examples out there but is unable to provide a link or source.
So how many members here actually own one or more of these bars?

 

:lol:
Only 1000 made
Yeah right :lol:
I'm sure I've seen more than 100 of them over the last few years
I believe people who bought gold in the late 70's-early 80's bought these ,& they have slowly been solved of in the last few years

1000 made :lol:

 

Is it just me or does that look like a drill hole on the E?

 

Not drilled; just a dimple

 

Chip quoted those figures; he claimed he sourced it from the net
However I can't find any supporting evidence anywhere :/
Just in case anyone has the information; I am interested in a ball-park number for Harrington, Golden West and Engelhard 1oz bars.
Cheers

 

Yeah guessed it would be him

 

A bump just in case this tread has been overlooked
Also any info, pics or links relating to 1\2oz, 2oz, or even larger engelhards appreciated
Cheers

I hope this will help. ^^^

Have a bundle of them now.

 

And where do they get the figures from ?
Made them up on the spot
They can't go around quoting figures unless they were there & actually took note of how many were made

 

Show us all a pic, would love to see a bundle of these rare 1oz's together

 

Well this is why I dont share my finding,

No more sharing..
Do your own research

 

:lol:

No comments.

 

Unsurprisingly no photos either :/

 

My words is good enough.

 

You made a claim with numbers
It took you how long to get to that page & than how long did it take for you to share the link
There is another site with Engelhard info , I don't have the link & I can't be bothered
They only quote figures in the 1000's - 10'000 & most figures are quoted with " ? "

I've done my research in Engelhard

 

Maybe for you in your own little lunchbox
