    Are you sure? Did you know that rodent urine fluoresces under UV light - fresh rodent urine fluoresces bluish-white, dry rodent urine fluoresces yellow-white.

    Check that you don't have a rodent infestation, Chip ;)

    what's the point of putting everything under a $10 UV light exactly?
    It's just an average pouch for what would have been a very cheap blob of metal. No CSI needed.

    Have been sick in sick bed, Need I say more...

    G W Williams = George Walter Williams was director in charge of the Perth Mint from 24/02/1984 to 04/07/1986. So these were produced between
    1984 - 1986, time frame when the bars was produced.

    Best is to do your own research.

    Thank you to the members who spoke with me, not many of these bars have survived, best estimates suggest maybe less 60 are floating around and this figure may be overly generous.

    Is 5oz the rarest size in poured bar?
    How about 1oz poured bar?

    Just learning the ropes in Perth vintage bars.
