    Nice chinese God of Wealth bar. Do you happen to have the paper certificate as well? The other example I've seen comes with serial number.

    No only the bar -no paperwork and no serial number. I have seen some similar bars made by the Royal Mint (like this one below) that have serial numbers s-l1600.jpg

    but this is the first Engelhard like this that I have seen.

    No, it's the exact same bar as yours, except for the serial. Anyway, they're nice and the Made In Australia adds much to the appeal.

    I meant I am willing to sell my 1/10th Engelhard Round.

    For the right price.

    Old bars are mostly cast bars, ie. hand poured... new ones are minted with serials... the simplest term.
