    I would love to learn more about silver. Are there any good resources [books websites etc] to identify silver bars within Australia. Shapes sizes serial numbers etc. Does the Perth Mint list serial numbers with dates for example. How would I go about identifying production dates of these 2 100oz bars if I wanted to. I'm new to this game just need a place to start. Thanks.

    A good place to start...
    http://allengelhard.com/the-collections/lesser-refiners/perth-mint/

    The site is great for photo examples and some estimated mintages.

    It will not answer all your questions though

    Your best bet is to dig here at silver stackers and search for more info..
    just asking a question as you have done is a good way to get info.

    Vintage Perth Mint bars are much loved here and usually generate conversation.
    There are other threads which are more likely to get noticed as people may follow the thread and receive email alerts
    when something is added.

    Great thanks for your response. Silverstackers is a great site heaps to go through. Can you search bars by serial number?
