    Just saw the above auction and realised I had an Engelhard in the safe:

    Can anyone tell me if this has any significant value above spot, I'm pretty sure the serial number is FP not FF

    Any help and info is appreciated.

    From my understanding it's only the poured Engelhard bars that attract a premium

    They generally go for between $40-50.
    The FP Series are some of the later ones minted.

    PM Me & I'll send you a whole raft of info!
    They stopped being made in the late 80's
    Engelhard Metals Co was one of the largest refiners of Precious Metals Silver & PGM mainly (Platinum Group Metals) in the US for many years & were instrumental in the invention of the catalytic converter.
    Google them, there's LOADS of info around.
