I was fortunate enough to purchase these two bars today from a deceased estate and was hoping to get some assistance on classifying them correctly by "type" based on their logo style, serial numbers, date of receipt etc. Any input from those in the know would be greatly appreciated so "thanks" in advance.
Hey mate, I’m no expert but those are some rarer old style bars! Have a look on the allengelhard website, just find the Perth Mint tab and scroll down. It’s quite detailed on the details of each type of vintage bar, so you can work it out from there. What a great purchase though, congratulations!
the "type" is a side issue, the original invoice (date, bar numbers)/provenance makes the parcel valuable now and in the future.
Not to beat a dead horse but would've been nice to offer them for sale here... many big silver buyers here and avoid feeBay costs. Prolly faster deal and better price for you.
Thanks, but..... Actual insured, tracked and signed-for post for this would be- Medium satchel 40.5 x 31cm Up to 3kg Postage $14.55 Signature on delivery $2.95 Extra cover $36.00 Total# $53.50 I trust Australia Post with nothing! Anything over $100 in value gets insurance!! As far as my eBay start price goes, I've got the mint bag, provenance in the form of a copy of the original numbers-matching receipt and I think my bar is "prettier"! We will see....
nick, the kg bar is an excellent specimen but too expensive ($1000), the 50oz bars is nothing special and your asking price ($1800) is ridiculous.
$1800 for a 50oz bar!? Damn son, I just won an auction on the forum and paid a tick over $1000 for it. Fairly identical style bar from the same mint too
poured bar cost $25 / oz eBay selling for $25 / oz 1 kg metal value is $800 + what ever cost premium buyer willing to pay 50 oz metal value $1250 + what ever cost premium buyer willing to pay metal value at the top end
