Academy Early Poured Bars

When was the last time you were lucky enough to find and nice piece of Hallmarked Silver?  Did you hesitate in making the purchase because you did not know what it was or even what the value might be!  You did not want to part with your hard earned collecting dollars that you have set aside, right?

  Buying means that you might have some homework to do just to find out what it is and we all know Google does not have all the answers yet.  Passing usually leaves it to the next person to take a chance, do the research and find out if they hit the jackpot!!!  Split second decisions make the thrill of the hunt even more fun, after all it is just a hobby, right?  Is it much more?

The neat thing about hallmark collecting is that there always seems to be a new example surfacing. The biggest challenge in collecting these is to obtain information about the hundreds of producers of old pours, cast and extruded examples, it is also a large part of the enjoyment.  This blog, managed by Ken Conaway shows a wealth of information that is being collected about collecting these items.  As more pieces begin to surface, identification becomes an important aspect.

Take a little time to browse thru the listings of all the different manufactures.  Just follow this link  Silver Ingots.  I am sure you will find it amazing.  I am sure you will probably bookmark it as a source to go to in you quest for information about this fascinating and often profitable hobby.  For more examples of Silver Bullion and Collectibles which are available, go to Captains Coins on eBay, where offers are always accepted.
