Thanks, swrbxxx. It seems hard to find it listed online elsewhere. But it is also strange to see they have 4 in stock. I guess they have been waiting for the silver price to go high, at least higher than summer. Can you please also comment on the rarity of the 5oz and 10 oz old poured bars:

I'm curious as to the difference between a 1/2 kilo and a 500 gram bar.

Amaths the 5oz bars id jump on bring a nice premium
The 10oz are common not worth it

Ed there is no difference just a different stamp was used. 500g is a rarer bar only a few hundred made in the mid 70s before they swithed the stamp to half kilo abd 1/2 kilo

Thanks, swrbxxx. It's nice learning new things here everyday. Any idea how many 1/2 kilo poured bars were made?

Btw, there is only one such bar left at the dealer's. :)

Yes no difference as 1000 grams is a kilo, or 32.15 troy oz....

I think they are pretty darn rare, but I see them up ever couple of weeks and always a couple listed way high....

There is a Foster old pour up right now, which is close at 15.9 oz.. I offered 600, instant DELCINED, can you blame them, lol....
