Although they do say "Mint Varies" it still seems like a Bait and switch to me as the bar in the photo usually has a nice premium

I would imagine if they put a ugly generic bar as the picture instead they probably wouldn't sell as many.

I wonder if it would be possible to request a certain brand of bar in advance? Might be worth your time to ask. Couldn't hurt, anyway.

Although I know the answer, I have sent this to them

"Can I ask for the 10 oz U.S. Assay Office Silver Bar as the picture in your sale?"

We will see

I dont see in the Product Ratings & Reviews where anyone got a Assay office bar, mostly sunshine mint and NTR

Well they were very quick but answerd as predicted

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your inquiry. With the mint varies items we cannot guarantee specific brands. We currently have 520 bars in stock, so you could get any bar we have. If you have a preference you can state it in the special requests section of the order and we will do our best to accommodate if inventory allows. I hope this information helps with your inquiry.

Thank you and have a great day.

Ask the question and with the answer the hook is in your mouth
Pay $218.71 and wait, bam here is a sunshine mint bar worth $204.50 instead of the bait bat worth $245 lolololo
