Maybe someone had the next serial number and thought that having consecutive numbers would be more valuable . Don't know why though. I would never pay that much unless silver was $192.14 per ounce.

My dad and I were talking about things like this happening. The only thing that we can figure is that there are some people who know that silver and gold are stores of wealth just from talking with friends or maybe even from things they have seen on t.v. Then because they don't know the right questions to ask they end up buying things that they think are more valuable than they really are. That is all I can figure. Seems that some people do not have as great of a BS detector and believe what ever people say. I've had an argument with a guy who thought you should only buy ASE because if the country collapsed people who know what they were. I tried telling him that if you go back and look at early America all kinds of coins circulated because people knew what they were worth. As a matter of fact it was almost 60 years after independence before we started getting the foreign currency out of the domestic economy (and probably 100 years before most of it was rooted out). Any way, just a tangent to say that I think a lot of people are getting in over their heads.

7oz bars are pretty rare!
The premium on some bars are insane.
I have 3 2oz JM bars which I recently sold 1 for close to 200$.

I have never seen a 7oz bar. Way overpriced but I would love to have it.

I think its because its a 7 ounce bar. Very odd number. If it wasn't an Engelhard/JM/ETC it would be melt.

There are some pretty hefty Bar/Bullion collectors out there.

Over $1300 for seven ounces of silver. The person buying must have some deep pockets, to pay that much. Yes its from Engelhard and its a odd weigh and its a loaf bar. But ever since PMs has taken off, the premiums have gotten insane. Started collecting silver in its mid to late teens and paid no or very little premium. Now you have to hunt for anything that resembles a bargain. Only time will tell if this loaf is a good buy for its new owner.

This is so true... and the outfits that advertise on TV depend upon it!

Wife and I were watching TV the other night. An ad comes on for a gold plated double eagle coin... "and it has 14 mg of pure 24k gold", trumpeted the ad. They mentioned the terms "24 caret" and "pure gold" multiple times but never said the word "plated". They used another word that escapes me for the moment but that means the same.

I looked at my wife and rolled my eyes to the ceiling. She asked me if that was a lot of gold. I said, "About the size of a pin-head, which is what someone would have to be to buy one of these".

Let's see... 14 mg = 0.014 gram. A Troy ounce is about 31.1 grams, so they are selling 0.014 / 31.1 or a whopping 0.00045 Troy ounce. With gold at $1550 or so, that amounts to about $0.70 worth. Yep, less than a buck's worth of gold... and "for only $19.95! Get your valuable collectors items now while supplies last!". But, it DID come with a very pretty blue velvet lined box.
