    Hi all

    Did a search for this bar on here and didn't get a result, Anyone own or seen these bars before like this one?

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/10-ounce-311...-WALL-STREET-MINT-/160568501451#ht_500wt_1156

    Not heard of them before but have found some info on the net about them, like here: http://www.articlesinaclick.com/in...ting-911-with-the-wall-street-mint-silver-bar

    Do you think theres a chance of one being a fake or would you say there probably legit?

    Got an opportunity to buy one thats all, just thought i'd run it pass you guys first :)

    Cheers

    Been around a long time. There's "original" and "new" versions of the bars - the original is collectible.

    I have one of these, quite a nice bar. One day I'll get it out to show young people and tell them about the World Trade Center crimes and then about the Wall Street crimes. Mine would be a new one but how do you identify the original?

    Kitco used to have a few threads on identifying the new vs old - I don't have either.
