Wow, I have to start going to garage sells, that is the stuff dreams are made of. Imagine what it would be worth, if silver ever hit 250 an ounce, lol....

If you sell it are you going to give the people you bought it from some more money? They probably didn't even know that they gave away something worth so much!

I have a 175 troy oz silver bar issued from the 1967/68 US Assay office. Does anyone have any information regarding its worth in relation to spot? Thanks. info on the bar with pictures is here: https://goccf.com/t/81936 |

Both parties didn't know anything about the item but the buyer figured it would be a cool item to have. if it had been lead do you think he should go back and get a refund? This is totally different than an old lady taking her husbands coin collection to a dealer that knows exactly what every coin is worth and them giving them 1% of what its actually worth Quote:

Does anyone have any information regarding its worth in relation to spot? Never seen a 175 ounce bar from them but no matter what it would at least be worth the silver content. So if silver was at 30.00 an ounce it should be worth $5250.00 in silver. I am not sure if there would be a premium for the bar or not, that is something you would have to do some research on I guess but still a nice hunk of silver. It would be really hard to prove it was a assay Bar without it being stamped and would also be hard to prove how pure it is without the stamp so my guess it would trade close to spot price since it would probably just fall into any old regular poured bar of silver unlike the bar in this thread that has all the markings letting everyone know exactly where it came from and how pure the bar is |

Well, times are getting tough and I really need to take advantage of the gift given to me. I haven't had much luck with selling so I'm going to have to go to the scrap dealer. Its truly a shame to have this piece of history melted down but I can't just keep "getting by" with a $35k brick in the basement. thank you guys for all your help, I really appreciate it. I plan on letting the dealer know what I'm selling him and hope that he has the appreciation to get it into the right hands.

Glad we could help a bit. At $36/oz there's quite a haul there...

yeah I hope he didn't lose about 10k by taking it to the scrap yard when he could have sold it to APMEX |

I've just finished reading this thread and realized that the bar in the OP post now worth $47K for spot.... that dealer've must made $10K+ if he held onto it for 6 weeks.
This is truly the "time of uncertainty".
