Engelhard Silver Bar Serial Number Lookup

Even though the company's expertise was in the Platinum Group Metals (PMGs), Engelhard is best known among bullion investors for their silver bullion.
Most Engelhard bullion bars are marked with a serial number (but not
all), in addition, most Engelhard bars display its Name or a large "E" along with the bar's weight and purity.
If you are just starting out, I wouldn't buying any silver bar (10 or 100oz) more than a $1 over spot. I've found 3 from Scottsdale on sale for $1590 last week. There have been several vintage Johnson Matthey (more square) 100 oz bars with serial numbers around $1600-1625. I stick to the bigger names like JM or Engelhard and stay actually stay away from the 100 oz RCM bars since many of them have been counterfeit. I did just buy some pressed JM bars with a little more premium, but, only because I used to have a few and really like them. Here are a few of my recent pick ups...
The 10-ounce Engelhard Silver Bar featured here contains 10 oz of .999 fine silver; every Engelhard Silver Bars has a cast finishing. A cast finish is made by melting the silver and pouring into the preformed mold, later stamping of inscriptions are done. You will find amazing engraving across the surface of the bar along with the logo of Engelhard. It also has six-digit numeric code that is the serial number.
