Local Coin Shop Find 4-19-2022

In 2017 Johnson Matthey, celebrated their 200th anniversary. Opening in 1817, as assayers, of Precious Metals, Johnson Matthey, were the go-to company, for purity testing, of Precious Metals.
This, 2004, 986.2 Troy Ounces, Johnson Matthey Silver Bar, 99.9% pure, was available, at the Local Coin Shop, for around, $27,000(USD). Yes, out of my price range. But, I did score some other Johnson Matthey Silver Art Rounds, at $31, each, out of the scratch & dent junk box.

These Silver beauties, were part of ten rounds, Bill of Rights, series.


The original, retired, Series exists, in a Mint sleeve/page, of a JM Company, and are hard to find, but, still out there. The United States of America's Constitution, recognizes, The United States of America, Bill of Rights, are God given Rights.

The JM Company was bought out by, Asahi of Japan, in 2015. The Johnson Matthey name was retired, making, JM Art Bars & Rounds highly sought after. Asahi, today, makes decent, Silver (.999) Bars & rounds, but don't seem to have the Art quality, of old vintage Silver Bars, of yesteryear.

This is not intended to be financial advice. This is all about a fun hobby, of collecting & stacking Silver Coins and such. Thanks again for checking it out, on #silvergoldstackers, where Stackers show & share their treasures thought & ideas.
