Next time you attempt to be disparaging at least try and get your numbers straight.

Quite a few of those bars has been dumped onto the market within the last couple of months.
The high premiums initially asked has halved since.
If you are paying more than $100 premium above spot; you are paying too much.
I have it on good authority from one dealer in Melbourne
They have melted 100-1000's of them

These look very nice. 
Here's 2 I recently picked up. 
Large and small E. Large E has copper spots and looks older.

Different size E might generate some excitement with American collectors
Looks like the bars with dimples has a smaller E

This could explain the uncertain mintage numbers.
1000 of each type for 2000 total made?

Guys, if you are buying these Engelhard bars please make sure the seller is posting the actual bar for sale
Posting a group pic of Engelhards when selling is unacceptable as these bars do vary greatly in quality and collector appeal.
Depending of which grade you are buying the asking premiums would range from around $100 to $200 above spot.
If it has a very deep dimple the premium you should be offering would be at the lower range. The reverse (bottom) of the bar is another area to check. Some are struck beautifully; others have parts of the stamping missing.

They are caused by uneven cooling (I think that is the reason)
Maybe someone here can give a scientific explanation why they form on some bars and not others.
Inspection before purchase is definitely something that you should do with regards to these bars (and any PMs purchase). Of course it isn't always practical, the advice AEL provided above (plus doing your own research) is a good way to avoid disappointment.
