"For many collectors and investors, the 10oz Engelhard bar represents the standard and preferred bullion choice. Engelhard 10oz bars are a comfortable size to handle and serve as an ideal store of value for investment and trade.

As with the smaller weight class Legacy Ingots, Engelhard 10oz ingot lineage witnessed many variations through early production years. These variations include placement of hallmark, weight and purity stamping as well as frequently erratic and crude serial stamping. Amazingly, these ingots were generally considered junk bars and frequently melted until just a decade ago, when collectors began to appreciate their inherent beauty and undeniable scarcity. Engelhard 10oz Legacy Ingots are now among the most sought after on the collector front.

The most well-recognized of the 10oz bars are the ‘P’ prefix 7th and 10th series poured bars, produced at the Plainville, Massachusetts plant in the late 1970’s. These examples were designated ‘P’ prefix to represent the Plainville, Massachusetts facility, while examples designated ‘C’ prefix represent the Cartaret, New Jersey facility. These bars, along with the later 11th series pressed bars, have been regarded as the benchmark of Engelhard investment grade bars. With total production of approximately 100,000 ingots combined for 7th and 10th series, and 200,000 +/- for 11th series, they were relatively common in their day. However, many have been melted over the years, further fueling the collector market’s high demand for these iconic bullion examples. The 12th series ‘P’ and ‘C’ struck commercial bars are also gaining enthusiasm in the collector world, as the availability of earlier series bars continues to quickly diminish.

9th series in ‘W’ serial prefix variation, produced exclusively at the ‘Engelhard West’ recycling facility operated in Anaheim, California in operation from 1979-1981+/- . It is possible that production timeframe overlapped on both ‘W’ and ‘P’ series ingots. NOTE: Between W009073 – W009659 the production process changed from grinding excess weight from edges to removing from obverse. We believe this practice was exclusive to the Anaheim recycling facility and have included photos of an early and later production example for comparison as well as two ingots close to this production transition. Estimated serial number range W000001 to W017999. It is interesting to note the early production examples of this variety are of a wider casting mould, as demonstrated in the photo below. It appears that this unique casting mould was limited to perhaps the first 75 ingots produced, spanning from serial number W000001 through approximately W000075. Ingot W000066 sold via eBay auction for $1,195.00 on January 19, 2019. Ingot W000085 sold privately for $1,200.00 on June 12, 2018.
