    Don't see a lot of these 2oz bars around even though they are still casting them
    Nice dimensions and weighty.

    A very rare 1oz Harrington Bar.
    Square shaped and .9999 fine gold
    If anyone has one, send me a pm or post here. I see a lot of bars in my travels and this is the first one of this type that I have come across

    Very nice blobs there AeL..

    especially the 2oz-er..

    are these a part of your 'special reserved' collection or could they be prized outta your hands even?

    ;)

    I keep a few for fun. Most of these will probably end up in Germany.
    There's some serious gold cast bar collectors over there.

    Picked up this very nice Pamp bar today for spot.
    She's lovely but not a keeper
    I have a beer budget and this lady has champagne tastes :lol:

    A nice bar you have there SydneySilver.
    Is that a core between the 5 and 9?
    A real shame if it was!

    The Camera is not great quality with these types of images, but I don't think it'd quite be a core.

    If you want to get a premium instead of spot, it might be a good idea to try shooting a few more better shots.
    Current image does not do justice to the bar and is actually a turnoff to buyers as it looks like it was cored.
    A 5oz bar is always going to have difficulty fetching a decent premium so you need to present it well.
    Cheers

    Smallest gold bars I have come across!
    Each bar weights 1/10 gram
