Wow, I have to start going to garage sells, that is the stuff dreams are made of. Imagine what it would be worth, if silver ever hit 250 an ounce, lol....

If you sell it are you going to give the people you bought it from some more money? They probably didn't even know that they gave away something worth so much!

I have a 175 troy oz silver bar issued from the 1967/68 US Assay office. Does anyone have any information regarding its worth in relation to spot? Thanks. info on the bar with pictures is here: https://goccf.com/t/81936

Quote: You gotta give them something in my opinion Not sure I agree with this. They set the price and the buyer paid what they wanted. Both parties didn't know anything about the item but the buyer figured it would be a cool item to have. if it had been lead do you think he should go back and get a refund? This is totally different than an old lady taking her husbands coin collection to a dealer that knows exactly what every coin is worth and them giving them 1% of what its actually worth Quote: have a 175 troy oz silver bar issued from the 1967/68 US Assay office. Does anyone have any information regarding its worth in relation to spot? Never seen a 175 ounce bar from them but no matter what it would at least be worth the silver content. So if silver was at 30.00 an ounce it should be worth $5250.00 in silver. I am not sure if there would be a premium for the bar or not, that is something you would have to do some research on I guess but still a nice hunk of silver. It would be really hard to prove it was a assay Bar without it being stamped and would also be hard to prove how pure it is without the stamp so my guess it would trade close to spot price since it would probably just fall into any old regular poured bar of silver unlike the bar in this thread that has all the markings letting everyone know exactly where it came from and how pure the bar is

Well, times are getting tough and I really need to take advantage of the gift given to me. I haven't had much luck with selling so I'm going to have to go to the scrap dealer. Its truly a shame to have this piece of history melted down but I can't just keep "getting by" with a $35k brick in the basement. thank you guys for all your help, I really appreciate it. I plan on letting the dealer know what I'm selling him and hope that he has the appreciation to get it into the right hands.

Glad we could help a bit. At $36/oz there's quite a haul there...
