100 oz Engelhard Silver Bar (Secondary Market)

Each of these 100 oz Engelhard Silver Bars represents the roots of silver refining. While the modern investor will find silver bars finished as minted ingots and hand-poured collectible bars, there have always been cast silver bars for those interested in the pure investment value of silver. While most of Engelhard’s bars are cast silver bars, it is possible for a Secondary Market listing to feature minted bars as well.

Secondary Market bars are those JM Bullion receives from a source other than the direct manufacturer. Nicks, scratches, and other signs of wear and tear are possible on Secondary Market bars. Also, it is possible for these types of bars to have toning. This a result of the natural oxidation process and does not negatively impact the value of the silver.

One of America’s original precious metal refiners was the Engelhard Corporation. The former Fortune 500 company was originally founded in New Jersey in 1902 by Charles W. Engelhard. He purchased the Charles F. Croselmire Company in nearby Newark, New Jersey and founded the American Platinum Works one year later.
