Additional Description: Struck from .999 fine silver, this 1 troy ounce Engelhard bar bears the serial number FG 08295, placing it within the “FG” prefix series, done of several alphanumeric designations used by Engelhard during its production of serialized, pressed bullion. These bars, known for their clean, rectangular form and precise die-stamped markings, were crafted with both investors and collectors in mind during a time when privately minted silver was gaining prominence in the market. The “FG” series is less frequently seen than some of Engelhard’s earlier runs, lending a subtle rarity to this piece.
