    Hi All,
    I have the choice between 3 different 1 ounce square ingots ((right term I’m unsure)
    They are old pours.

    which one would you go for:

    engelhard
    ABC
    Johnson Matthey

    All the same cost.

    All advice and info gladly welcomed.
    Horrie

    My preference would be 1) JM and 2) E.
    That "ABC" would go to melting pot.

    If the JM is still available after your decision - BUZZ. ;)
    (Oh heck, I'd buzz the Engelhard as well).

    ABC ingot is still holding spot value....if you get it for spot, it’s still on the table

    So the ABC being older and a different stamp means nothing ?
    Still learning the gold game.. thanks for all help so far.
    I’ll grab the Engel and JM.

    Fewer people will buy the old discus thrower for a premium. I would be sticking with the JM and Engelhard

    Bro, you’re not getting the vibe... ABC never made that ingot.. some ‘copy-cat’ refinery made it and buyers also thought they were made by real ABC refinery....

    like what I said, if it was offered as ‘spot’ (or close to it)... why not?
