He Said , she said , he said , she said , he said , she said.

Let's let it go.

I have tried to convey my reasons but we clearly do not see eye to eye.

Both of you have made accusations to the authenticity of the bar and more importantly to my integrity as a person
And I over reacted , yes.

We all know if it was fake, it still would be composed of silver as a good gold or silver fake is made of real gold or silver....

I dont think China can fake these bars as 30 or 40 years of silver bar patina/tarnish begins to take place, somthing a con cant easily fake....

Perhaps only a true expert could say for sure, but tht Engelhard stamp conveys trust with many potential buyers....

On that huge silver buy on Pawnstars that time, Rick did not even blink at the Engelhard bars or bags of 90%, he in fact was worried the no name company odd sized 777 oz bar was fake so he drilled it and it was real.....

In fact those oldman silver rounds they sell were minted from that bar....

I think we need to over analyze this a little more. Dude clearly overreacted, but to be fair, it was implied that there was a significant chance his bar was a counterfeit with no reason given. . . even if it was just a simple question. The implication that this listing is likely a scam is being thrown around too casually for my taste.

Congrats to the buyer and seller. Sweet bar with a cool story. Thanks for sharing the details with us Gofindtreasure.

Personally, I blame this all on Sam. Thanks a lot, Sam, ruining everyone's mood. What do you have to say for yourself?!?

Ive been very entertained by this all. Funny how a little tip to watch something exciting unfold can turn into such drama and misinterpretation of wrong choice of words and ones desire to have the final say.

Personally I think GoFind came out of the gates swinging when he really didn't need too. I'm glad he sold his bar though. It was nice to watch it....would have been better to see an auction with 61 bids instead of 3, but nice to see it all work out for him in the end.

"Personally I think GoFind came out of the gates swinging when he really didn't need too."

Gofind got defensive as they had been defending the bar over and over again for some time, via people saying it sells for way more then its worth etc., typical human nature....

Like my late grandfather said, and most of your all's as well, something is only worth truly what one who sees it is for sale and has the money to buy it is willing to spend.....

Some people feel those bars are worth 3k plus, no matter how delusional and high they may in fact be, they appear to be out there in some numbers....

Now then once all those collectors get their bars one would expect the market to fall out, but who knows....

Anytime in future if one has a chance to get a 4 oz. Engelhard at 1500 or so, they will in their mind think they can instantly double their money, and if ya got the 1500 to buy it, we in this genre call that a no-brainer....
