Vintage 5 oz battered Perth Mint bar value

[Marsi]

Hi all, would like to kindly ask people thoughts on the value of this ugly beast of a bar. Usually these bars fetch quite a modest premium but in this condition??? Am thinking of putting it up for auction, or perhaps straight sale- what are your thoughts?

 

[fantuzzi]

I wouldn't pay a premium for that

did u use it as a door stop or something

 

[rbaggio]

Put it up for auction

It's not as bad as this one:

No, no doorstop treatment. Was like that when i bought it. Dropped it once though when I weighed it- didnt seem to make a difference! Got it as a package with another (good condition) bar.

Must admit Rbaggio thats a really ugly bar!
Did you auction it?

 

[Naphthalene Man]

What do you guys do to your bars?

 

[Silverlicious]

Spot -10%

Though I rekon it looks kinda cool.............

 

[roo_dr]

Would the Perth Mint buy it back at spot for their museum?

In all seriousness - take spot if offered. That thing needs recycling.

Lol- will enjoy it for a little while longer -it has immense character, awesome patina with a touch of rainbow toning on the reverse thrown in for good measue. My favorite bar. Very rare- one of a kind thats for sure!
