Comment

Specialty collector bar produced for Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, 1986 mintage. It is important to note that the Metal Arts Company [MA] produced the first 10oz bars for MTB, serial range 1 to 5,000. JM produced them in wide and narrow formats. All Engelhard estimates serial range 6,500 to 16,000 and there appears to be a 1,500 serial number gap between MA, JM and Engelhard production runs. Occasionally found with original assay certificate, which typically demands a higher valuation when present. Some bars were included in a 1oz, 5oz & 10oz boxed commemorative set with estimated mintage of 1,000 total sets, pictured below.
