Purefine Bullion Birmingham UK 100 Gram 999.9 Silver Bar - Rare?

This was a bar I saw some time ago.

For some reason, the refiners name rings sounds familiar.

It is the only one I remember seeing.

I looked the company up at Companies House:

Registered office address
The Big Peg Unit 741, 120 Vyse Street, Birmingham, B18 6NF
Company status
Dissolved on
21 July 2015
Company type
Private limited Company
Incorporated on
7 December 2010

There was one single director Michael Patrick MARCUS, with total number of appointments 12.

Most of these were dissolved or liquidated, one was dormant.

[Roy]

No, all gone. £25 each.

edit again!

The 50g bars were £25 each, I guess the 100g bars were twice that.

A long time ago.

This time, I checked my notes rather than using my tired old memory!

The bars were £25 for 50g. Spot price was £12.43/oz, so still a 25% premium over spot, luckily no vat on a private sale.

Which just goes to show, silver has always been a c**p investment 😛

Agreed 

[Roy]

Interestingly,

If you look at the bars closely, you will see a design difference. I can't remember the technical term, but to use belly buttons as an example: some are 'innies' and some are 'outies'.

The 90g bars are quite different from the others, both in motif/mark and lettering.

I actually have a few of these Richard 1 oz/50g/100g etc, The ones I bought of you I still have some…. Actually seen a few kilo bars like this exact same variation (pressed like).
 

Don’t see very often I was told by the owner, He had nothing to do with these bars (Someone else was producing these) & at the time we spoke he had he’s legal team investigating. (who knows what the truth is). 
 

 

either way they’re definitely unique

Could it be that some bullion dealers had sourced much of their stock when the spot price was high. But now that the spot price has plummeted for both gold and silver, they would rather not sell at a loss so marked them as Out Of Stock until the spot price picks up again.  I have heard these things goes on.

They can't be unique, we had 4 of them, and other TSF members had about 20+!

I wouldn't expect any dealers to have stock of PureFine bars. Which dealers were "out of stock"?

No.

No real dealer works like that, especially in any kind of commodity trading.

If you buy, then the price goes down you simply continue trading, and balancing your position(s), at the new current prices. To close down and stop trading would leave the dealer our of business relatively quickly.

An analogy might be a bookie or casino stopping taking bets because it lost on one race / game.

This is an extremely common misconception, which I can still hardly understand.

Yes, if you'd bought them in 2018 for £25 and were able to sell them to James for £50, you will have made a profit for your time, but is £50 worth the same today as in 2018?

You know me, any sporting chance to take a pop at silver on a Silver Forum 😇
