Any ideas its a bit discoloured but would you cut it out of the plastic clean it and place it in a capsule holder ? I picked this up for about £21 which is good but when I got home and looked it says on the net that it's a limited edition and rare ? Any ideas have you seen one of these I have looked on ebay and they are going for about 140 dollars. Any info on this bar would be great Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 3:35 pm Well the RBC is not the Bank of Canada. One is a national bank, the other is the central bank of Canada. You'll also find J&M bars with other Canadian banks like TD (Toronto Dominion). Report this Post to the Staff
abliss2006 Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 6:58 pm Lambecolin, I would have to disagree. These JM Royal Bank silver bars carry a pretty hefty premium especially on ebay or to collectors. I would say the average price for one of these on ebay is around $75 which is over three times spot. As for the deciding to clean the bar or not...Its really the personal preference of the buyer. I am a big collector of Johnson Matthey bars myself and I tend to prefer keeping them inside the original mint seal whether they are toned or not. Report this Post to the Staff

It will bring more with resale value if everything still in original. The 1 oz is readily available but still bring good premium. The rare ones are fractional and those are seldom seen.
