If anyone has any of the old vintage Perth Mint 5 oz cast bars, now might be a good time to sell.

Seen one recently sold for nearly $3400 on a $150 estimate.

I am not too familiar with these, but surely that must be just about a record?
 
Having trouble getting info an extruded 100oz PM bar:

Thought I had a match for it in:

upload_2023-7-27_21-59-1.png

But... No Serial, and the purity stamp position is up the top, not in the middle...

Otherwise seems to be the same in shape and size. Which unfortunately, I can tell by comparing it a bar matching the above serials: 002894...
Which poses the second (2x) problems...
1: The 002894 is also slightly different in that the position of the numbering stamp is about a cm lower, closer to the purity stamp...
2: Unless they skipped some serial numbers (possible), or changed to a variant of the setup for the rest of the number sequence, then the counts as above may be a bit off.

See below for full comparison...

Anyone know of another good resource for types and production quantities of these PM bars?
 
I am a big fan of Harringtons! I cant believe there are so many things out there that keep poping up. The item description is rather interesting on this item if it is legit.
"This was the last project I was working on before I sold Harringtons. Only a small number of these prototype pendants were ever made."
Seems like the seller is Mr Harrington!

@PeacePeople both are collectable, The 100 g ABC seem damaged at the back.
The price , a bargain price as the site may not be look at with traffics. Hence Low price.

The site focus is on slabbed coins to collectors. They still have a full week to go, but most of those bars are collectable from what I can tell. I'm not sure where they'll end up, but if they're not ridiculous, I might own 1 or more. I checked on allengelhard and got most of the info I was looking for. Thank you for the input.

Is this ABC 100gr bar something? I didn't want to search all 41 pages so went back about 8 or so and didn't see it, so here is the link to the auction that ends next week. There is also a 10oz perth mint that I believe is common, but I know nothing about them.

I lied....I think this perth mint bar might be something

Something a bit different.... Heritage sets world record price for shipwreck silver bar. That's almost 25kg of silver - sold for US$81,000 or A$126,000 (melt value about A$29,000). :eek:

temp. Philip IV silver Atocha Shipwreck Recovery Bar of 62 troy lb 11.20 troy oz ND(1621-1622), Marked with fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400, 99.16% fine), manifest number 1314, tax stamps and owner/shipper marks, assayer's bite to the side. 382x122x67mm. Salvaged from the "Nuestra Señora de Atocha" (sunk in 1622 off Key West, Florida). An iconic relic from perhaps the most famous shipwreck treasure. The Atocha bars come in various shapes and sizes, the present offering in between the largest ones. A piece counting with three Quinto stamps, A curious shipper "A", apparently engraved with several small rectangular punches (does not match the "A" siglas cataloged by Craig and Richards in their his "Spanish Treasure Bars" book), "V" for silver-master Jacove de Vreder in one corner, the monogram "EA", standing for "Shipped by A. de Aguirre for H. de Almonte" and another monogram/cross left, seemingly not mentioned by Craig/Richards. Such bars had stamps added during its odyssey's across Colonial America to their final destination: Spain, to their lawful owners. An always disputed artifact when offered at auction and one which is sure to entice its next owner and who else gets the chance to carry such hefty piece of history.
