I can't remember, it's sitting in a velvet bag in the safe. I may have just to get the grit off of it....So, you did clean it up...?

D'oh.....Nooooooo!
Thanks for the heads up, I'd totally forgotten about the monthly Nashua Coin show.Also, there's a coin show at the Nashua Holiday Inn tomorrow.
If my doesn't sell by then, I'll probably take it there.Thanks for the heads up, I'd totally forgotten about the monthly Nashua Coin show.
Next one is Feb 16th, 2020.
This looks like it was carried in a farmer’s back pocket for 37 years.I updated my for sale post. Selling it for spot -$0.10 per oz. It ain't pretty lol.

How does one test a silver bar this big? I listed it on FB, and some guy asked if he could drill it to test. Does that sound reasonable?

Yep, most would saw it in half or thirds.

can anyone shed some light on why him "cleaning" it up was bad. what does that entail with that bar. why or how come it hurts value. thanks always looking to learn some more
There are really two separate issues:IMHO this is a 'good bar' of .999 silver.
I'll be honest I would love to be able to find someone local (and by local I mean in Nashua) that can use a spectrograph or whatever non invasive testing to prove that it is pure silver. if anyone knows anyone in this area that they will do it for a nominal fee I'm all in. I have concerns about selling it to somebody that wants to take a drill to it and decide nevermind. I'd rather be able to say here's the bar, here's a spectrograph read out, by it or don't buy it....There are really two separate issues:
1. Is the bar real?
2. Will you have any problem selling it without an assay fee; the customer drilling the bar (risking the customer changing his mind after leaving you to try to sell a drilled bar); or having to sell at a bigger discount because only a few buyers are naive enough to accept it as good on its face or sophisticated enough to know how to properly and non-destructively test the bar?
Nashua Coin is open and wouldn't take it. Recommended I take it to the coin show. I passed.Too bad Gate City Coin is gone, they would have taken it without issue. I remember seeing those big, meaty Engelhard 100 oz bars in his safe. Some were deep blue/black from oxidation.
I don't remember him having any issue with buying cosmetically flawed bars. Also, Bob's Coin in Chelmsford, he'd give you spot-$1 for silver by weight and had a smelter in RI melt it down.
Problem with local AU/AG sellers is they are drying up as the internet kills what little profit they made...
Ron, I know you lowered your asking price by $0.10/oz, but in my humble opinion you may want to thing more like SPOT - $1~2/oz.
I know that won't make you happy... but it is realistic.

I’m fully expecting it. Most headlines stating shutdown of travel to/from China disrupting this global economy which in my eyes is on borrowed time to pressure the globalists. We need desperately to move back to a smaller government and local economy for the sake of the Republic.Gold has inched up some more on open tonight. Up around $1583. Seems like it wants to test $1600. Silver is about $18.20 at the moment.
The world is an uneasy place at the moment it seems.
one of the most volatile of gold stocks to buy, no? GDX would be less volatile, no?The gold rally has run out of gas, think it'll pull back to $1500-$1520. I don't think we break the 6 year resistance at $1575 for another 1-3 months. Once we do it's off to the races, maybe even to $1700. This pullback is the last chance to buy some mining stocks at good prices. If you don't want to buy individual stocks just buy GDXJ. It has a lot of the best larger junior mining stocks in it.

Was just talking the other night about buying silver mining stocks as we feel that the price of silver is undervalued. Gold is valued 88x silver where it's historically in the 40x-60x range.
