About Engelhard company
Engelhard company was started by Sr. Charles W. Engelhard, in 1902 when he purchased the Charles F. Croselmire Company. For most of the 20th century, the name Engelhard was been associated with the glamorous, and sometimes notorious, world of precious metals: gold, silver, and those metals in the platinum group. Engelhard silver bars and Engelhard silver Prospectors (1-oz silver rounds) are most popular products made by Engelhard company.
Engelhard silver bars
By the mid-1970s, demand for silver bars was robust, and Engelhard Mineral and Chemicals Corp. began producing .999 fine silver bullion bars. Engelhard silver bullion bars were produced until the mid-1980s when investor interest waned, and they can still be purchased today from silver dealers, private parties or online (Ebay). The Engelhard company was taken over and renamed, so all Engelhard-marked silver is from previous years. Since it was a world leader in refining silver at one time, there is a lot of Engelhard silver bars and rounds in circulation among investors, collectors and traders.
