Smart arse. I tried to see if it coincided with something like Episode 377 or similar but no luck finding anything remotely connected.
Those Hong Kong & Shanghai Specie Office silver bars have a very interesting story behind them. Not sure how true this is, but apparently such an office didn't exist back then! http://gandsbull.blogspot.sg/2012/01/hong-kong-shanghai-specie-office-9999.html
Hey all I thought id take some pics of some of my vintage bars and pop em up on this thread Also could we make this thread a sticky? I think the old one was such a shame we lost all the pics of the nice old and odd bars :/ enjoy Perth mint 1kg Perth mint 50 oz Engelhard Canada 50oz S.R.Mitchell 1kg Perth Mint 10oz 'type B' Perth Mint 10oz 'type c'- these two are 1 off being consecutive serials
Got this from a fellow stacker on this forum (thanks!) Love the swirls on the top and the pattern only seen from the side.
Picked up this very old Pamp 1oz silver bar today. Never seen a Lady Fortuna design like this. Would appreciate any information about it. Cheers
That's actually a Rami Suisse bar From what I remember, PAMP was contracted by a company in the Middle East sometime back in the 80's to make these. Usually carries a higher premium... saw one on eBay for $300 not so long ago Edit: Had a closer look at the second pic... yep, was right about it being a Rami Suisse bar :lol:
I bought these 2 1 ozers about 35 years ago when I was a young man I saw one make 58 on ebay in the UK about a year ago
Was watching this on eBay not long ago. First time I saw one of this kind. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Johnson-Mat...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
