Has anyone ever seen a LYMAN silver bar before?

 

I just puchased a old silver bar. It has the letters LYMAN across the top and I was told it was 10oz of pure silver. Just wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these before?

There is currently one of these for sale on ebay. Buy it now for $575.

You could always take it to a jewelry dealer and they could do a test on it for you if you are suspicious.

I've had a couple of those in the past. The ones I had did not have the purity marked anywhere on them which caused hardship when I decided to eliminate them from my household. Most places wouldnt touch them simply because they were not marked .999 pure silver. Needless to say, I personally would never buy them again in view of what I had gone through.

A very nice chunk of silver there. I think the $575 price on the SMS LYMAN was placed when silver was high. Right now is a great oppertunity to get you some silver bars. Current silver value $27 an ounce I believe is the lowest in years.

I would trade all my coins for SILVER BARS if someone offered the value in trade. HaHa----

 

Nice Addition to your collection dostro

Always good to hedge your bets with silver and gold. If you have patience you will never be disappointed unless you bought at $49 an ounce this summer!

Think about it-- we all just paid $60++ an oz for raw silver eagles.
