Awesome! Congratulations! It must take a great effort in finding these goodies, all of which in great conditions, and sealed!

Thanks Amaths. That olympics round did take a while to find. I'm still on the hunt for that JM 2oz Printing house bar.

I place a high premium on JM Bullion. I will take any that I find, even if I have to swap out some of my non-JM silver for it. I have 2 ten ounce bars, both very low serials, mid 70's I believe, and three gorgeous one ounce bars, two of which are the elusive space series, Skylab, and Moon Landing. |

Anjohl, it would be hard to find Johnson Matthey bullion that doesn't have a high premium...especially the rare JM bars and rounds. For me, I just like to find and collect rare silver pieces that not everyone has. Good job picking up those ten ounce bars.

Nice find abliss, those are very nice addition you have there. That visa elongated round is really something and the fractional bar is not that all easy to find. Congrats

Abliss, believe it or not, I have had a lot of JM and sold it. I could likely have my entire bullion stack be JM. I sold a sealed sheet of ten one ounce bars, and I regretted it. The guy I sold it to offered to trade it back for the same amount of some other silver I had that he wanted, but I found out that he had OPENED the bars. He said the original sealed sheet made them "look ugly". Horror, pure horror.

Anjohl, thats too bad about your sealed sheet of 10oz bars. I'm in the same boat as you about finding Johnson Matthey bullion bars and rounds still in their original mint seals. I try to find them mint sealed but some of the more rarer pieces it is almost impossible to find them that way. Most of the JM products are now 30-40 years old so over time people end up taking them out of the seals or the plastic starts to crack around the edges causing them to tone. Hopefully you can find another sealed sheet sometime down the road.

Added a 10oz Johnson Matthey and Mallory bar to my collection. Pretty neat piece. I put the 5oz there for a size comparison.   |

Johnson Matthey fractional liberty trade rounds. 1/4oz and 1/2oz pieces. I'm still looking for the 1/10oz round though.  |

Couple of JM 10oz bars. These are a different variety than most with a blank reverse.   |

Nice! Very interesting type B 10 oz bars with no JM logos on the back.

Thanks Amaths! I believe these were made for engraving purposes. Not for sure though.

abliss, it is always impressive to see you have succeeded in locating so many goodies. I had never seen most of them before you shared. Keep them coming!
I am growing on the American 90% coinage lately. It's a bit difficult to find them up here in Canada. Even the junk are sold at a premium.
