At the time of this 2014 notice, Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers reported receiving a fresh inventory of 100 oz Johnson Matthey silver bars, offered at rates described then as industry-leading. These bars were presented as a practical choice for purchasers seeking larger amounts of silver bullion because their form is notably compact. For example, a flat-rate box could hold more than twice the ounces of 100 ounce silver bars compared with 90% silver coins. Their rectangular design also made them especially suitable for orderly stacking.
The original article noted that many silver-bullion investors regarded Johnson Matthey, together with Engelhard, as a leading North American producer of silver bars. It explained that this recognition could matter if an owner later needed to sell bars, since it was said to support access to a broad, liquid market. The article also cautioned that silver bars had been counterfeited. For that reason, it said buyers would want to confirm that a bar was authentic and that reputation could be especially important when buying or selling silver bullion.
When this article was originally published, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported having several of these bars in stock, while also stating that they were moving quickly. The article specifically noted that a buyer had just picked up 10 bars. At publication, readers seeking bulk silver below market rates were invited to contact the business at 404-236-9744 to reserve bars while the reported supply lasted.
