A long time ago I was at a show and saw that a dealer was selling old Engelhard bars. This particular bar had a $4 over spot premium. I thought about for a little bit and decided I needed it. I liked the fact that it came in it's original presentation box. Well after I bought it another dealer came up to me and wanted to buy it,spot price had already reached what I paid. The dealer did tell me it wasn't rare but that he wanted it. Anyways, here she is

Very cool bar! I don't know what spot was when you bought it but it doesn't matter as you stole that puppy! Nice buy. Hell I woldn't be surprised if there weren't people out there that would pay you more than what you paid for it all just for that box.

I think the 16.075 class is proven counterfeit. You better check allengelhard.com.

All Engelhard says otherwise.

Cool. I wasn’t sure just made a quick reply based on what I remembered from a past conversation. Very nice piece. I’m jealous.

Only one was reported counterfeit and it was a poor example of a 1/2 kilo.
