    re the niche sites, I found one that had a great selection of truly beautiful bars, but as you say the premiums were very high. I would like to try and balance what I pay extra for the numismatic value of the bar, but not pay too much over spot.

    I've been wanting to go to HK for a long time, now there's even more reason for me to go!

    I think I know which niche website you're talking about (he got banned by the mods here for spamming).

    But personally I wouldn't pay an arm and leg.

    Great suggestions up there and to cricket, happy hunting.

    Here's another piece. An even older version of Hong Kong good delivery 9900 bar. Year 1982.

    If it is a question for the photo above, the thing is not engraved.

    The owner offered the thing to me, but I cannot afford it :(
    Thought would share it with the community.

    p.s. he put it on TM
    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1293525405

    some might know him, he mentioned dealing with australian collectors
    (I bought a lot of silver bars from him -good deal)

    Interesting how Harrington cannot make it right to 999.9 purity.... so, should this be considered as their 'normal' purity on bars?

    I'm not sure if these ones are legit from JM refinery... I;ve seen a few listings on fleeBay like this type of buttons/planchets, but are they real/legit? If I had spare cash perhaps, I will go for them...but since I don't, then move to the next one...

    I would say so, since that was the purity other Harrington bars had
    (posted by the members)
    I recall there wese some nice 5ozers in this thread.

    well there are silver variations of these planchet, hence was my interest.
    What I wonder is if this planchet meant to be tranformed in something like this

    The above one is a punched round from a strip with hand stamping
    This one looks like a pressed ingot
