Rare, Collectable and Old Fashion Silver Bar. II

Went Op shopping yesterday and was waiting on the person I was with after finding nothing. Decided to double check the Jewelry cabinets and and with incredible luck found this. Had been there since last month. There is not many things I would rather find in an Op shop. I got all giddy and had to search online to double check my initial thoughts and ground myself. It had been my first good find at an Op shop in two years.

I believe the one I bought is the second from the top and with less then 50 minted I am still over the moon.
I haven't been on this account as much in the last five years so I have forgot how to imbed images.

What as Vinnies SCORE. there about $300 USD in a GRAM of prized Australian Silver. LOL its a ripper mate. Mine was one of the first to surface and its the ale listed on Allengelhard Sold on eBay for $378 USD from memory.
Yep
"1 gram bar produced by Engelhard, Australia. One example sold via eBay auction for $378.00 on August 23, 2016."
 
Hi All - Anyone able to confirm if I have 2 x JM kilos at less than 25 mintage as per AE screen grab below? Specifically, the difference between the rarer bars and the more common is the space between the 1 and the KG weight stamps. Eye balling I'd say I've got the rarer ones but would be good to get others opinions. TIA

Mate hate to say it but 1 I'm the person who picked up on the difference and sent pic to Allengelhard.
and mate your font on the Johnson Matthey is the big font so not the under <25 mintage. as he 2 tt's are the easiest to see that have the bigger font. Example in pic below.

Hi all. There are quite a few small (under a kg) hard to get vintage Aussie bars for sale on Mineral Exchange this week. Four 10 oz Harringtons, a half kg SRM, a Perth 1oz, a 1oz Harrington, two half kg MG bars, a type B and type D, 10 oz Perth bar and a 250g State Bank bar in a box. Plus nine great looking 1kg Aussie bars of various types.

I have not seen that many quality Aussie bars on that site before and most of them seem to be in great condition. Might be a great chance to pick up a few nice pieces before that new book on vintage bars comes out.
 
They will if you ask Rob himself. I have a parcel on its way now.
Just when you register dont fill all the address section in and then you can log in and bid. just remember its USD and there is a 10% auction premium on top of sale price again USD.
