Honus Wagner Elemetal 1 oz Silver Bar

[Jay Wolt]

I think the Wagner is pretty cool w/ its packaging and #'d to 1909
& no different then any of the silver ounce art bars & coins.

Here's 1 I found on eBay for $74.99, that's not limited in production.
I'd rather have the Wagner

I'd rather have $80.

Problem is when you go to sell it, you won't get much more than the price of an ounce of silver. It only has a premium when you want to buy it.

These were put out 10-15 years ago and may be available for close to the price of their silver from time to time. 8 oz. of silver.

About $80 for an ounce of silver.... yikes!!!

However, if they only made 100 of them and there were 500 people willing to pay $80, then I'd venture to guess it could be worth the $80 if you planned to sell it really quickly (before the hype wore off).

If there's a limitless supply of them and all orders could be filled at $80, then I kind of doubt it's worth $80 (what Barry said).

You have to figure that who ever is making these things wants to recoup the initial investment of the creating those bars. Ok, too much analysis on $80 for an ounce of silver.....

Luke, I'd buy one of those Wagner 8oz blocks if I could get it at near the melt weight price.

Does it say 8 oz of silver or does it say a Troy Pound?

A Troy Pound is only 12 ounces of silver, not 16.

[Fred]

David good point. The presentation case indicates "Half-Pound Silver Proof". The guys on ebay are selling them as 8 Oz bars (".999 Fine Silver, 8 Ounce Bar"). It doesn't say "Troy" pound so maybe it is 8 Oz.

If that's the case and it really is 8 standard ounces, then that would be about 7 Troy ounces since a Troy ounce has more weight than a standard ounce.

Exactly, Barry.

You walk into any coin shop, pawn shop or bullion dealer and they'll pay you just as if it were a plain ounce of silver.

Just in case anyone purchased the Honus Wagner silver bar, Cy Young is now available in three poses. You can buy them individually or you can pay more and get all three.
