3 Troy Ounce - Silver - Johnson Matthey e Silver Towne

An interesting lot is presented for auction, consisting of three bars of fine silver, composed of two Johnson Matthey bars and one SilverTowne bar, all with an indicated purity of .999 Fine Silver and a weight of 1 Troy Ounce (1 oz Troy) each. The lot therefore represents a total of 3 Troy ounces of fine silver .999, making it an appealing opportunity for both collectors of precious metals and investors and enthusiasts of silver bars from reputed manufacturers.

The two Johnson Matthey bars feature the well-known traditional Johnson Matthey Assayers & Refiners design, with the JM logo, the inscription “JOHNSON MATTHEY ASSAYERS & REFINERS,” the indication “FINE SILVER .999” and “1 OUNCE TROY.” They also each bear individual serial numbers visible on the bars themselves, a particularly interesting feature for collectors of vintage Johnson Matthey bars. The bars are individually housed in protective plastic packaging, as visible in the photographs.

The third bar is from the well-known SilverTowne house, also bearing the indication of 1 OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER. The face of the bar presents the characteristic SilverTowne design, while the reverse features a decorative pattern and the manufacturer’s mark. This bar is also housed in a protective capsule or plastic packaging.

All three pieces are sold in this lot exactly as shown in the photographs. The packaging provides protection against scratches and handling, although it may show some marks, reflections, or other signs typical of storage. The surfaces of the bars themselves should be evaluated via the photographs, as there may be small marks or cosmetic signs resulting from time and storage.

This is a particularly appealing lot due to the combination of two Johnson Matthey bars, a brand historically very well known in the precious metals market, with a SilverTowne bar, offering the buyer three distinct pieces of fine silver. Each bar is marked as .999 Fine Silver and 1 oz Troy, corresponding the lot to approximately 93.31 grams of fine silver in total, considering 1 Troy ounce equals 31.1035 g.
