2 Rolls of Engelhard Rounds at $40 an ounce.

Think I might try to grab em. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

I'd say that just about any .999 1 ounce silver round is a good buy at $40 each, and I cant think of any down-sides to the Engelhard rounds.

Englehards carry almost the same premium as Eagles.

That is a good solid investment! I'd go for that if it was in my locality.

I think it's a good deal.

Then again, I'm a heavy metal man. (hur, hur, hur)

These are known as "Prospectors" and are indeed made by Engelhard. The latest dates I've seen on these were 1986 or 1987 and I do know they're no longer being struck.

They also almost always carry a premium of $1 each over any other type of silver round you may encounter. IMHO, these are the filet mignon of silver rounds. I'd snap them up and send them into hibernation for awhile. Don't think you'd be disappointed when it's time to wake them up.

the good years are '83, 86 and 87.

great pick up if you can get them.
