    996 is a curious fineness. I was not aware that Perth Mint produced other degrees of gold fineness.

    Does anyone know why this might be? How does it work? Do they pour off a portion of the gold at 996, before they go on to refine the remainder to 99.99?

    Read my earlier post in this thread. Miller process will give 995-997 fineness.

    Thanks for this. A real piece of history then, making these 996 bars all the more desirable. And those pre-1927 bars even more so - they must be very rare indeed.

    It doesn't surprise me that you have one of these, as you seem to be the new protege to Aurora et luna. I remember when he was an active dealer (in the old days) - he always had the premier collection of items, and it was a wonder to see all the incredible pictures (far from the norm). Cheers.

    But... where is your pre-1927 bar? ;) Still on the hunt I suspect.

    Rare as hen's teeth!
    Only managed to track down 3 examples in over 12 years
    Wish I could have kept all of them!

    These are not as rare as I thought. You may find one of these occasionally at certain dealers.
