Very cool! But I think the Engelhard bars in position 3 and 4 were struck bars and not poured.

Very interesting Jokingjoker as I would be interested to know what the differences are. Obviously pouring bars is an older cruder form perhaps....

From what I understand the 1000 oz bars are sent through an extruder machine and cut to spec (ie. 1oz,5oz,10oz) then are struck with dies. And the poured bars are, well, poured into molds for shape and size.

Got it JJ, cut an stamped from one huge sheet, or poured into molds for the other. Seems like dumb question an I knew how the pour process goes, just was not sure on the other. Thanks, that makes much sense....
In the end as always, silver is silver in the end....

The bar, second from the top is known as the "Omega" Bar minted by the M & B Mining Corporation of Las Vegas, Nevada. I posted my "Omega" which is a 2 oz. bar. Just a nubbin compared to yours. If you look close you can see the symbol of "Omega" and the MB as well.
Sorry to all. I see Traevin has already answer the ?.

Its all good Rasta, the Omega information was most key, thanks....
I imagine thee symbol is a an O with a B inside but funny it loos more like an upside down T, an I can't make out the M, lol....
Regardless, it is a cool bar an symbol, good to know you have one as well Rasta in the 2 oz. form....

Hawk, if you look on the 3rd and 4th bars, down the side of the bar you can see the "drag" marks from the punch that cut the bar out of the larger sheet. That's a dead giveaway for me.

Great point Harrison, an glad to have those gem bars, no doubt.... So, I found one M@B so far on ebay, priced at nearly 700, rof  .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/M-B-Mining-...em3cb7de92ffI found a half dozen of the constitution 10 oz. bars, an the lowest priced one was 450, and the highest mid 500, maybe close to 6. So I suppose I did o.k., on those.... |
