    Hi all, does anybody know what the RHA counterstamp on this Harrington 50oz Silver bar stands for? ive done a bit of googling but cannot find anything about it?
    Also, what is the reason for these bars having a counterstamp on them (RHA, DCL ect...)
    Thanks guys appreciate it !

    refineries need to make bars for other institutions... good example ABC, PM and JM refineries, they make bars for others for a limited quantity... but not always the case too..

    So the RHA bars predate the DCL bars, interesting

    DCL represents Darlington Commodities Pty. Ltd. DCL was established in Melbourne in 1978 and ended operations in 1987

    I'm glad you reposted my facebook comment here. I'd meant to post the connection I found between DCL and RHA in silverstackers back in July 2021 when I first found that old advertisement, but totally forgot about it, then last month I saw someone asking about it in a facebook group and posted it there and again I forgot to post it here.
