10 oz Stagecoach Bar ... real or not?

[CyberspaceVoid]

I was in a coin shop the other day and noticed a 10 ounce silver bar with the familiar NWT Mint stagecoach design. Never seen one of these before, only the one ouncers, and after doing a bit on online searching find no mention of them. I am wondering if they are legit or Chinese in origin?

 

Thanks for any feedback.

Apparently, you can get them in different sizes.

CORRECTION: I didn't look close enough. Maybe you should contact NWT to see if they are available.

Got my answer by calling NWT Mint (thanks for the suggestion and weblink, Chris) .... they are copies as their bullion department said they were never made. Guess the Chinese, or someone else, took a good design and ran with it.

 

One error avoided

After seeing someone recently post that Ohio Precious Metals bar that was counterfeit and this, I don't think I would trust any eBay seller when buying bullion other than one of the major dealers such as Silvertowne, NWT, ect..

 

This is bad for everyone since a legitimate eBay seller, with many honest transactions may be selling these bars and not even aware that they are counterfeit.

 

Your heads-up may have saved some folks mucho dinero. (thumbs u

From the information gathered in this thread, all we know is that some silver bar somewhere was not made by NWT company. We really do not know if this bar is made of counterfeit materials or not.

Isn't this true?
