Something not seen very often in the UK & My first ever extruded silver bar, Made by yours truly Engelhard London probably in the 70’s or even earlier.

 

Extruded bars usually are more often seen in the States & available In bullion form, in the UK they are produced purely for industrial purposes as rods etc…. I have no doubt this was also intended to be used in the metal Industry, Possibly for metal plating etc…

They are produced by heating the silver rods at 700+ degrees & then pushed through heavy equipment & (Stretched out) from the other end…. In theory like when ingots are pushed through a rolling mill machine to create rings & jewellery. 
 

Fantastic piece so glad to own this gem!!!!

 

The other bar is a Engelhard Sheffield Smelting kilo (A PIECE OF BRITISH BULLION HISTORY). 
 

 

Enjoy 😊

NOT COOL at all.
I have a lovely heavy bespoke wooden box from @Alunthat does not have the space for an added coin.
Hope it NEVER happens.

PS I just received my gold completer coin and although the concept is nice you really need a magnifying glass to appreciate the details.
In my opinion far too much crammed on to a small area.
Would be great on a 10 oz coin but back to my point ....

When it does happen Pete. I will look at making an amendment to the foam base for those that want it of course, I'm already working on a solution for the 1oz proof collectors to adapt the foam to accommodate 11 coins. There is space for this on all the boxes I've produced, in the case of the 10oz the simplest most cost effective solution will be to place 6 coins in the base, which will then allow the completer to sit in the middle of the removeable wooden tray and be the center piece. So its not the end of the world for any of my customers. Just got to wait and see and give me the time to sort out a solution when the time comes...

I Have a full date run in BU, and a set of all the modern privy's from 2012 to date, P20 Anniversary set and an almost full run of F15's in 1oz. All assembled over time by me

A superb walnut slab case from @Alun has just turned up. The quality is fantastic, so much better then anything out on the market that I can see.

Here's another photo that really highlights how nice it looks, especially with some slabs.

 

Looks Stunning Full ❤
