Anyone know the real reason they were poured as opposed to a nice shiny proof-like ingot? Heck of a lot easier. Next step up the line was extruded, then struck. IIRC, California Crown Mint was the first to strike anything bigger than an ounce, in 1980. |

Yeah pretty good price it would bring, you figure 820 bucks worth of spot silver, and being nice older rare bar, good quality trusted name, perhaps a grand on ebay.... |

They were also not nice and shiny because collecting raw silver was not very popular from a collecting/investing standpoint. Most silver bars were produced with manufacturing, and with jewelers in mind. My father worked in a factory for years making engine bearings that had silver ingots in the 25 to 100lb range. Yes, Pounds! Imagine having one of those for a nightstand.

If that bar brought $1000 with no market change, I'd be getting rid of it and putting the profit back into more ounces of non-premium silver.
Come on, it's a block of metal, not some rare collectable. Not even particularly attractive.
