Engelhard 10 oz Silver Bar – Any Style

An Original Engelhard Ten-Ounce

The Engelhard 10 oz Silver Bar holds ten troy ounces of .999+ fine silver from Engelhard’s original production, sold on the secondary market. Style is our choice: Engelhard made ten-ounce bars in many formats over the years, and the one you receive depends on what we have in stock.

 

Read the Serial Number

On many Engelhard ten-ounce bars, the letter in front of the serial number tells you where the bar was made. According to the collector reference allengelhard.com, a P prefix marks the Plainville, Massachusetts plant and a C prefix marks the Carteret, New Jersey plant. The best-known ten-ounce bars are the poured P-prefix series from the late 1970s and the pressed bars that followed them, and later struck bars carry both P and C prefixes. The prefix tells the story, and collectors track these series closely because many of the bars were melted over the years.

 

A Common Style

The bar in our photos is a struck example. The front carries Engelhard’s globe-and-E logo, then 10 TROY OUNCES, FINE SILVER and 999+, the ENGELHARD name in an outlined cartouche and a C-prefix serial number in a panel at the base. The back is tiled on the diagonal with the ENGELHARD name repeated in outlined bars over a stippled field. Other styles ship too, including poured bars with rougher surfaces and different logo and lettering layouts, and an order of several bars may arrive mixed.

 

Originals, Not the 2025 Liberty Bar

In 2025 the Engelhard name returned under license, and the relaunch included a new ten-ounce silver bar modeled on Engelhard’s 1986 Liberty designs, sold through a single online dealer. That is a separate, current-production bar. This listing is original Engelhard stock, so the supply here comes only from bars already in circulation.

 

Used, and Priced for the Name

These are secondary-market bars, so we list the condition as used. Expect toning, spotting, scratches or edge marks from years of storage and handling. None of it changes the silver. The Engelhard name carries a premium over a generic ten-ounce bar, and that premium is what you pay for the history. Condition reflects age, not the metal.
