Geomin bar styles
- Thread starter bordsilver
- Start date
Mightn't be a serial number. Could be a batch number or something like that, or numbered for a customer.

8 represent Australia States & Territory, as there are 8
Any info on the 3 in the third picture?
That one is mine , the other 2 are, 1 x from GEOMIN thread and the 2nd serial 8 I found on n Google images when I was searching GEOMIN.
Trying to find a link with Perth Mint but GEOMIN is a hard one to find info on. Even when doing his research for the book he printed said he found very little but did find that GEOMIN was conected to the W.A goverment, so these may have been the start of what we now know as the early Perth Mint Ingots style Type A's / hence the OZS & FINE stamps looking almost Identical but no real run done like this in GEOMIN.
Same goes for my 2 100ozs below.

The Stamp could be made by the same manufacturer at the time.
Doesn't mean they came from the same smelter.

They may be associate with
Anglo Gold ( Ashanti ) , which may be bought them out.
GEOCHEMICAL & MINERALOGICAL LABORATORIES PTY LTD , also SGS Lab Aust that do their sample testing.
I think is best to track down who they used to do theirs assaying.
Those days only a few companies that do the Lab testing.
WHat was not sharted on the 100oz above is is little counter stamp on its reverse.
Another new Type to add t the rare section with my other 100ozs GEOMIN's
Take a look. Many Thaks to Shlomo Goldberg for the trade.

It hurt that I couldn't buy them. It's good that the geomin found the right man.

Recent acquisition, and found this thread as I was doing some research so thought I'd share.
50.2 tOz bar (1.561kg on the scale). Measure 6.5"x 1.5" x 1". Counter-stamped and with great patina. Early serial number as well I believe?
Assume this a Christmas 1977 issue (given the counter-stamp)?

XMAS ones are up to KG size…will be hard to find a branch that can hold this 50ozs!
