    The current Silver to Gold Ratio is 85.29 to 1 . Seems like it's a good time to visit the local coin shop again. _JLG. p.s. U.S. Dollars.

    Hopefully Bar below is Not A Ringer. And I guess there is a simple story behind it which I would love to hear....

    I have seen these before. I'm wondering if anyone in Sydney would know anything about it.

    It's definitely genuine.

    My latest acquisition with some awesome toning. 100oz ingot produced by Harringtons with DCL Counterstamp.

    It has been pointed out to me by another member that this bar has a stamping error which I might add I completely missed.

    The ABC collection, I believe years ago some photos of similar .5 kg bars with the "discus thrower" logo have appeared here in the forum. Does anyone have any info on that unusual ABC logo design?

    Actually no.

    The discus thrower is a bar made by a completely different company. Totally unrelated to ABC Bullion.

    They are a Melbourne based company called Australian Bullion Company (Victoria) Pry Ltd pretending to be the more established and respected business The Australian Bullion Company From Sydney.

    These guys are like cyber domain squatters. The same people registered the Melbourne Mint to pretend to be a government entity.

    I destroy any of these bars I get. It’s like carp to a fisherman who is chasing Murray Cod.

    Ha! I may have read something along these lines years ago because this seems vaguely familiar. I see they have some for sale right now on their website. thanks.
