I prefer Engelhard. I do like the Academy bars stacking features

Yeah I like when the bars can be stacked as well. Do any other bars have this, besides Scottsdale and Academy?

The SilverTowne bars are wrapped in a clear plastic holder but are not ridged for stacking. In spite of this, I have had no trouble at all in stacking them 10 bars high.

You're welcome, CB. There is a lot of info shared on this web site and I am happy to contribute when I can. I've sure learned a LOT from others hereabouts.

Thought i'd revive this thread by sharing pics of the last of my 100oz bars. One of the first Royal Canadian Mint bars, before they went 9999 and techy    |

APMEX and Engelhard are my favorites! Poor A-mark has zero votes.

Thanks! The old RCM bars are pretty hard to come by nowadays. Not as shiny as the newer bars but there is something alluring about the old stamped RCM logo and letters. |

Interesting poll. People actually look at the design on the silver bars they buy? Don't know about you but I look at the price!

I don't mind paying a slight premium for a bar that I really like the look of. Sure, I could buy "Bill's Hand Poured Silver Bars" but when it comes time to re-sell, nobody will want it, unless they can guarantee that it is all silver.

Canadian Banknotes is 100% right on this subject.
About 6 months ago, I took into possession 100 oz via 10oz NTR Metals bars. These were being sold on kijiji and at just below spot so I grabbed all 10.
I immediately took them to my local bullion dealer where I turned the 10NTR Metal bars into 10 JM Bars. I paid $1 an ounce to do so.
Fast forward to today, these 10 NTR bars are still there.

+ another 1. I manage to sell an old 100oz Engelhard poured/stamped bar (versus the newer, squarer bars in plastic cases) for close $5 above spot a long while ago, and a 100oz old RCM bar for $7 above. I realize buyers like these don't come along every other day, but I strongly doubt I would be even able to sell the less popular bars, like NTR, 100oz silver bars for more than spot. |
