An interesting piece from a friend

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

Hi all.

I got this 1oz Johnson Matthey & Mallory bar from a friend. I was looking it up, but couldn't find much.

Here's what I know.

  1. It's cool
  2. It's in excellent condition
  3. There is a die error on the whole provincial series. The "N" in fine silver is a weak stamp. This was across the series.
  4. Mintage was less then 1000

Here's what I speculate.

  1. It's from the late 1970's.
  2. It's quite a sought after piece.

What I don't know, and hope someone does.

1.What's it worth? Is it just another generic ounce? One is listed on eBay for a heavy premium.

  1. Where was it minted?
  2. Who has more to the series they can show me?
  3. What is the actual mintage?

And happy thanksgiving to my Canadian friends.

@thedamus is the GAS !!!

That one is awesome too! But i think you have a valuable collector with the BC bar. Keep hunting them down fat-e!
😈👻😎👍

stokjockey had the info. But yeah, it's a pretty sweet old bar!

That's very nice! I like it. :)

If you think the mintage is less than 1000, why did they use six digits to show it (000795)?

I have no idea why they did that. All their bars listed on allengelhard seem to have either a 6 number or a letter followed by 6 numbers as the s/n. All with leading 0's.
