I couldn't help but lurk in and see you're bar... and then I remembered seeing one on another forum that I'm more active in Here-

My-Latest-J&m-100-Ouncer!

The difference is, obviously, that the sticker is intact.

IMO it is collectible, but I don't think it would bring all that much of a premium--- but there is always that have to have it person.

Nice pickup regardless

Thanks for sharing that, Luke! That one definitely looks better than mine, although perhaps mine has more "character" for being in such rough shape, eh?

Stick around!

All right, just for the heck of it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...290757648192

I couldn't in good conscience list it at $5000, but I figured at $4000 I can pay all the fees, buy another bar for myself, and still make a decent amount of profit. And if it doesn't sell, I still have the bar, so it's a win-win!

Seriously, it is a nifty bar with tons of character, but I'm a collector of old coins, not old silver bars, and I'd be just as happy with shiny new 100-ounce bar if this one does sell.

Hmmmm...

Maybe I should have been more greedy after all. I just did a quick ebay search for 100-ounce silver bars and saw a bunch of brand new Engelhard bars with Buy It Now prices of $4500-$5000. I doubt any will actually sell, but those prices do make my bar look like a real bargain at "only" $4000...

Ah well, my bar didn't sell for $4000. Maybe if I had taken a risk and let people bid instead of using a BIN price. Or maybe I should have set a higher BIN and accepted offers. Who knows...

Whatever the case, I'm not unhappy since I get to keep the bat and I didn't buy it to make a quick profit in the first place. Still, it would have been nice to sell it for $4000 and then buy two more bars.
