The Engelhard Corporation was founded by Charles Engelhard in 1902. In the following years he made many business acquisitions, converting the company into the world\'s largest precious metal refinery and developing silver alloys for industrial applications. He is also credited with inventing liquid gold for decorative purposes.
During the inflationary crisis and oil crunch of the 1970s, interest in silver bullion as a form of wealth protection grew in popularity. As a result of the demand, Engelhard began minting silver bars with weights of 1, 10 and 100 troy ounces. However, by the mid 1980s investor interest in precious metals had waned to the point that Engelhard decided to cease extruding silver bars.
Since Engelhard silver bars have not been produced since the mid 1980s, it can be a difficult task to find them. The best places to look for Engelhard bars are online bullion dealers and local precious metals dealers.
