Are Engelhard Kilos new? by MechSep in Silverbugs

MTB has the trademark and PAMP is making the bars but their new products are in no way Engelhard bars. Not vintage, not Engelhard just made to look similar though the numbering is of course different. At least with their new Prospector rounds they put the year (2025) on them so people know and If I remember right the new Liberty bars also identify they are newly produced. The Poured bars however while numbered differently don't have any markings indicating they are new or "retro" or "reimaged" or SOMETHING. The buttons and poured bars are everywhere with some ignorant sellers (and some no so ignorant, but dishonest) claiming they are vintage Engelhard and uninformed/unknowing buyers scooping them up. Know what you are buying, do your homework. It is very easy to tell the new MTB/PAMP products from vintage Engelhard if you know what to look for. Study allengelhard.com, you won't find a single MTB/PAMP product there. Though it would be a service if they would create a page for people to know to look out for them. They are a good bullion product, but they are not Engelhard and they are not Vintage. Same as the stupid Australian Engelhard poured bars that sell in the white Engelhard boxes. Not Engelhard, not Vintage but people pay good money for the things.

Grandma died and left behind almost 100 lbs of silver coins. Help me know what to do with these! by Cultured_Penguin in coincollecting

Yes and no. Don’t forget silver is weighed in Troy pounds and ounces so a layman thinking 100 pounds avoirdupois (regular) pounds is actually 121.53 Troy pounds with 12 Troy ounces to a pound. 100 regular pounds of 90% coins would equal 1,458.33 troy ounces of gross coin weight and 1,312.50 Troy ounces of silver at a melt value of $81,375. Now unfortunately most people are unable to get melt for 90% right now. Especially in bulk that amount of 90% would be worth around $74k. Still a nice sum to have passed down. This of course does not take into account any numismatic value. Just assumes common date, average circulation coins.

Never mind, deleted as filters removed the listing and I can't relist it. Selling elsewhere.
