Now Here's a Fun One for You Collectors................

This is a Little Story about What Happened Last Week when I Won an Auction on eBay..........

First of All Let me Show You the Silver Bar That I Won..........................

Here is The Reverse of This Silver Bar Minted by Engelhard..................

Let Me Give you a Little Background On This Bar. It Was Minted by Engelhard as a Custom Commercial Silver Bar and This was Probably Minted in the Early 80's.

Here is a Screenshot of What The Allengelhard.com site looked like on the Day I Won the Auction....................

As You can Plainly See Allengelhard Shows that They Believe the Mintage of this Silver Bar to be Less Thank 100 Pieces. They Also Show that One of these Silver Bars Sold for $335.00 on October 9, 2018, that was just about 6 Weeks Ago.......................

OK, So I'm Feeling Pretty Good About Winning the Auction for This Same Silver Bar last Week and my Winning BID was $171.01. Now That is Like almost 50% less than the Similar Silver Bar that Sold in October..........................

Based on the Above Scenario I got a "ROYAL" Good Deal, or Did I ???

So Here is The Next Twist to This Plot, Allengelhard revises there Website earlier in the Week and This Screen Shot Shows What it Looks Like Now...........................

If You Look All the Way over to the Right Side You will See in Bold Upper Case Lettering
"MINTAGE ESTIMATE UNDER REVIEW"..............

Uh Oh, This is Not Good..............

How Many Silver Bars might there Be ??
1,000, 10,000, at this Point it Will Be interesting to see What is Revealed Once the Allengelhard.com Review is Done................

Stay Tuned for a Future Post, This Mystery is Still On Going.....................

P.S. One Other Thing, As I Wrote this Post Another ROYAL Silver Bar Auction Just Ended on eBay...................

oh my, I hope it is <10, and not <1000! Hopefully, this was not a case of intentionally manipulating the perceived value of the bar. Wishing you the best outcome on your "royal" investment

@silversaver888 Spoken like a true Sweetheart. Fortunately this made for a Very interesting week. No Matter what comes of this, I am Sure in the Long Run we will be just fine. I think you will agree...............

@stokjockey Great acquisition! Very cool piece. I actually wasn't even aware of this variety. I have seen some mintages go under review. Since this is such an evolving market new material is discovered regularly. Hope it works out👊

A few of these offered on eBay Recently is probably why www.allengelhard.com wanted to review the numbers. @silveringots it will be interesting to see what they come out with once the Review is Done...........

Yes, when items start surfacing. As you know, they start surfacing more frequently when there are big recorded sales for the specific item. You should contact AE and join in on the mintage adjustment. Atleast share your perspective👍

It is interesting the their has been like 5 or 6 of These recently coming Up for sale on eBay............

Well $300 is crazy, but it does have the right pedigree, and no doubt at all that E products are going to keep getting more valuable.

Can You imagine you Old Pirate You when Silver is Over $100 an Ounce. Every piece will just get so much Better.........................

Imagine a miser rubbing his hands together and cackling!
😁🤣😜

BINGO !

Have a lovely day :) @stokjockey

thank you @jyinvest back at you

I can tell if something is silver very easily. Magnet test and sound test.

If you're holding Crypto during this bear market might as well make compounded interest on your holdings. I traded my stellar I got for free from blockchain wallet from that recent airdrop and sent it to the Bitcoin Faucet. About 6 months ago was able to deposit $500 of bitcoin about .05 and now I have worked my way to a total just over 2 bitcoin by stacking compounded interest in satoshis and randomly spinning for free satoshis. My goal is to have 5 or more bitcoin by the end of 2019. If you have crypto just sitting there might as well gain interest and see where you are by the time the next bull run hits. My gut feeling is the bullrun will not happen until the end of 2019. The next minted millionaires are the people who are solidifying their position in bitcoin at this very moment. Stack some satoshis.
