This is another bar I got before the spike in spot. Found this one in an antique store, and it was marked way too expensive. I bargained with the owner and got down to $20 even, which I was happy with. I figured the bar was old, but wasn't for sure on any specifics until I looked it up later. I just liked the cows. Seems especially appropriate now that silver has gone on a bit of a bull run itself.
This is from 1974, made by the Hamilton mint. Limited to 10,000 pieces, but I suspect the actual number in existence is much lower, given the meltoffs that have happened since it was created. It's part of a 50(!) bar set celebrating America. I'm sure I've seen others in this set, and I think I may even have one. I'll have to consult the archives when I get a chance.
