      Well you have some really obscure bars, so I'm guessing your SanFran ingot would be a good example. Although, that one is as closer to a numismatic value as bars get, so it's on a different level, imo.

    I'm not sure I even know what my most obscure bar is, especially since I only have 1 ounce bars. I probably have something obscure that I just don't recognize, otherwise mine are just very run of the mill. I do have a number of Engelhards, but I wouldn't say that they are obscure in any way or particularly rare. I know Fish will have been very happy to see some "nookage" in that Omega Refining bar, as he likes the old stuff that has "character" and especially "nookage". I'm just doing a bit of catch up again. Great vintage pickups! You never fail to find interesting stuff. I hope all is going well. Take care my friend!

      @@SilverStruck It's just the perils of popularity and bringing more attention to a part of the market that was a bit concealed and/or forgotten. I can't tell you the number of channels that I watch where your channel name comes up. When interest is spurred pricing just starts changing. It's interesting to watch the change from the outside, as I'm not very impacted by it myself. Just means your channel is having an impact and an influence on the market. It's not just you of course, but I think your channel has a larger impact than you might imagine. You've got me watching, and I'm not even in the vintage market. Well done!

    Hey struck 3rd bar is a bar I've seen before but Stamp is different on your bar. Very interesting. I know it as a International USA LTD bar. Have seen them in 10oz, 25oz and 100oz. I'm a big fan of the older Omega bars. Snagged a sweet 25oz a few weeks back. Haven't seen to many of the Omega's from the 80s which I believe is the variety u showed in your vid. Very nice looking more modern omega's in this vid especially the 1st bar💯👍Own a few 1 off bars myself but I'm not a big fan of these bars. Very easy to hate these bars as u had said in ur vid. As not knowing all the info can b very frustrating! ACO odd weight 10oz bar is an obscure bar that I had picked up awhile back and was fortunate enough to learn more about. Stamp is CAO with the A raised above the C and O. Had a community member school me on these bars. I try to trade or use obscure bars for GSR trade when ratio is in 70s or lower. I just dont enjoy not knowing the whole story on these bars. So I trade em for Au bullion along with generic silver bars I used to build weight in my stack when I started out. Always enjoy your vids and examples u share. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy watching. Thanks SS.

      @SilverStruck  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's the same thought I have- International bar for that World Wide. I have an International in ten ounce and it's identical- except the name on the stamping- has to be the same maker. As a collector, it's way nicer knowing more about the bars we own and it's a more fun part of the hobby as well. I'll keep some of these obscure bars but not many. Missed the coin show- I had to go up North and docks out of the water before it's too cold, lol! Thank you for the continued support of the channel my friend, your awesome!

      Typically the premium is high if the seller recognizes vintage silver as a premium silver bar. Sometimes you have a seller that just treats all silver as just silver- then you can score big as a buyer if you know what your doing.
