the back has the scotia logo, 10 troy ounces and the .999
I call these ones "bank bars"
RBC, TD, and Scotia bank released these bars in 1,5,10oz sizes in the 80's through JM
though you can find some scotia 1, 5, 10oz bars made by engelhard
Mintage wise it seems about the same through all three bars.
around 40,000 1oz, 25,000 5oz and 15,000 10oz That's good to know. JM made bars for some American banks, as well. Right? Those always fetch a nice premium. However, I only have a couple less popular bars that JM had made for Sooter's. Do you collect those kinds, too? Sometimes it is just frustrating trying to find information on these bars. More than often I found this is the right place to seek answers. |

JM made a ton for US banks but they were mostly in the 1oz bars. Alot of these are hard to come by. Since all these bars were being made in Canada. I collect any JM bar with a variety I don't have been meaning to put together a database of JM and engel hard bars

WOW, that's a nice day's work you got there  Thanks for the pix, especially your half Eagle just under a 1/4oz. To buy these at melt, I would sell my house and buy them all day. I'm no coin grader but it sure looks like you acquired yourself an nice Unc. coin maybe MS62-63, which either way commands a sweet premium. The pic shows some luster and it doesn't look like it was cleaned. Very nice score.  I have few old pours like yours that I'd trade in a heart beat (if I had a chance) for these coins in this condition. This Liberty Head Is worth grading, definitely. Edited by miggs

Kavern,
Do you know the year on that Engel?
I have a couple of those with serials in the 30k that I would love to know the date on.
I love the old one ounce bars.

TBK minted in 1973 5 digits go to about 90,000 then the bull logo starts
The 5 digit bull logo is the $$$ bar
