Rare, Collectable and Old Fashion Silver Bar. II

[Skyrocket]

not a specialist, but I would say you got a very good deal.
I recently saw two bars of this weight sold on Ebay.

I am not familiar with this dealer, they don't send overseas.

But in my humble experience, the NZ dealers I deal with don't care about such things, at all.
(Usually, the type of the bars you bought comes as a buyback)
I was told some customers do not like 'ugly' bars, they want shiny new Perth Mint ones and such.
Besides, it takes time and effort to do some research on older varieties.

However, we know GS do auction some stuff here...
If they were sending overseas, I would agree they did a mistake.

Just my thoughts, gK.

GP just told me it looks like his staff made a mistake selling me these bars.

These vintage 15 oz bars don't turn up very often, I can *FINALLY* cross this one off the list

Something I picked up on SS about 6 years ago. Got 3 with different letters on the back. This is one I gave to silver frost and just found it going through his stack.
Can find next to no info on the net. Does anyone have any information on date/mintage?
Any input much appreciated.

The swan logo on the serialized 10 ozer looks different to me than the other old school "ugly duckling" logos I'm used to seeing. These old perth mint bars have a lot of character.

Some ebay bucks subsidized vintage bars...

If I resided in NZ this wouldn't be on offer right now
*NOTE* the title includes Akarana... could that be what the "A" logo in the upper left-hand corner corresponds to? I recall speculation on the logo in previous threads. I sure wish we hadn't lost all the images in this thread, I would have liked to compare pics to this example.
