    Hi guys I'm curios as I have some type b bars. what is their going rate and also I have one that is exactly 10.00 ounces does that make it more valuable. I have 5 of these bars all with individual serial numbers on the back too.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    I'm trying to figure out if this 50oz is a type a or b. I know that technically it's neither since the type a and b are 10oz bars distinguished by their shape, but this is obviously from the same time period as one or the other. I suppose it's possible they only had one shape for the 50oz during the time they produced the a and b 10oz.

    If we can't assign it to a particular pattern, I dub thee the A type 50oz perth mint bar:


    "THE PERTH MINT AUSTRALIA"
    stamped:
    FINE 999
    OZs (odd weight)

    Serial on reverse.

    So Chip
    Looking at your first pic does the 10 oz matt, short and long have swirls as well like my F gloss?

    I only have so far E F and G bars.

    Congrats!

    They had a bunch for a while -- kilo's, too.

    Maybe they'll get more in sometime, who knows.


    While might not be as much of a collectible as certain other vintage PM bars, it's not exactly like it's a current bar, either.


    Would like to see them, along with some others, added to the allengelhard site sometime..

    These are Type F

    The 10 oz Matt & Gloss is a known as Swirl bars - Class of its own. - if you find a Perfect ones than its a Keeper.

    You can get Type F short & long in swirls but not as distinctive finishes as above mention.
    If you compares the Loaves they all are different.

    Do you really have Type E ? This one a lot people get confused with them.

    I suppose it could be an F as well? I will look at them today.

    What distinguishes an E from an F.

    Cheers

    Ok chip not sure my bars are what I thought lol

    #1, 10 oz swirly matt is the widest and thickest with left facing swan
    #2 ,10 oz shiny is shorter and narrower than #1 withleft facing swan
    #3, 10 oz shiny same length same thickness but narrower than #1 right facing swan (new style)

    #2 is narrower than both #1 and # 3 with #1 being the widest

    Hi silver addict

    Your Type F & E bar have no differences. FYI

    This are Type F ;)

    Does anyone have this type of bar?

    I am calling it a hybrid or transition bar from Type B - Type C

    Know serials from A23 - A2768
