Johnson Matthey's logo of a Geologist's Pick & Hammer is recognized
worldwide, among bullion investors, as a sign of quality.
GainsvilleCoins says: 'Most, if not all, of the 100 ounce Engelhard Silver Bars have unique serial numbers. The letter P is used to denote poured bars, and the letter C is used to signify stamped or cast bars. INSTRUCTIONS: Each serial number on the chart is the FIRST bass made that year; if your bass comes after that number (but before the next year's first serial number on the chart) then your bass was made that year.
- Obverse: Features the Engelhard logo, bears the weight and purity as well as an individual serial number. Reverse: Varies. May display the diagonally repeating Engelhard logo or have a plain back. These secondary market bars will exhibit wear and toning appropriate to their age. Styles may vary between struck, loaf style, etc.
- At the very bottom will be the serial number; New Engelhard bars are encased in a cellophane wrapper as individual bars, or as flats that contain ten bars in two rows. The bars can be identified and tracked by the unique serial number on each bar. The most popular Engelhard bar is the 10 oz silver bullion bar.
- This is the side of the bar exposed while the 100 oz Engelhard Silver Bar cools. Today, Engelhard Corporation is now owned by a German chemical manufacturer. The international BASF company bought Engelhard for $5 billion in 2006. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask.

The History of
Johnson Matthey
The Johnson Matthey Company has a long history of refining platinum group metals.
The company dates back to the grandfather of Percival Norton Johnson.
Percival Johnson was the founder of Johnson Matthey company; he was also a founding member of the Royal Society of Chemistry. (the oldest national chemical society in the world)
Percival's grandfather was an assayer of ores and metals, in London,
during the late 1700's.
After his grandfather's death, Percival's father, John Johnson (1765–1831), took over his father's business and got involved in the platinum trade.
At the age of 15, Percival Johnson (1792-1866), became an apprentice, in his father's firm.
During his apprenticeship, he published the following paper Titled: Experiments which prove platina, when combined with gold and silver, to be soluble in nitric acid.
In the paper, Percival Johnson showed that small quantities of platinum mixed with gold and silver in nitric acid cause a facilitated separation of pure gold, from the solution.
Through his work, he proved to his father that he was a skilled assayer and mineralogist.
In 1817, Percival became a full partner in his father's assaying firm; this is the same year often referenced to be the year when the Johnson Matthey Company was established.
Johnson's knowledge in assaying precious metals, allowed him to find the exact value and purity of a gold bar by applying chemical tests to the physical metal.
The firm became the first London assayer to offer a guarantee on the quality of a gold bar; the business grew when Johnson began to offer buy-backs on the bars of gold he assayed.
Percival built a small gold refinery for the gold bars that were coming into his growing business.
He proved to his customers to be proficient at the extraction of Platinum Group Metals and other ores from gold bars; which established his firm in the London Bullion Market, for its technical abilities.
Over the next few years, Johnson added a few partners in his company.
In 1832, he added George Stokes to the firm, creating the partnership of Johnson and Stokes.
Stokes died in 1835, a few years later in 1837, William John Cook (1813–1892) a skilled assayer, joined the firm, creating the partnership of Johnson & Cook.
Then in 1838, George Matthey (1825–1913), joined the firm as an apprentice to Perival Johnson and William Cook, at the young age of 13.
George Matthey was an excellent assayer and chemist, he studied at the Royal College of Chemistry; he also proved to Johnson to be a fast learner and became very interested in platinum refining.
Matthey developed a 'head for business' and wanted to build Johnson's firm into a great company.
In 1851, Johnson made George Matthey a full partner in the firm, creating the Johnson Matthey Company.
Matthey pushed Johnson to expand the company's capabilities, Matthey is regarded to be the one who transformed the business into the International Conglomerate it is today.

Johnson Matthey & P.R. Mallory Bullion
The P.R. Mallory Company began in 1916 in Port Chester, New York, the company was started as a tungsten wire manufacturer.
In 1924, Phillip Rogers Mallory, the founder of the company, moved his company to Indianapolis, Indiana.
P.R. Mallory later formed the Mallory Metallurgical Company. The company engineered electrical alloys and composites made from silver, copper and tungsten.
The P.R. Mallory worked with Henry Ford to create the first applications for Electrical Resistance Welding.
In addition, during World War II, P.R. Mallory teamed up with Samuel Ruben and created the first mercury cell battery, millions were manufactured by his company for the war effort.
The P.R. Mallory Company later revolutionized the battery industry creating the alkaline manganese battery, and in 1964 the company registered 'Duracell' as its trademark.
In 1947, Johnson Matthey started a limited partnership with P.R. Mallory, creating Johnson Matthey & Mallory Limited.
The partnership was headquartered in Toronto, Canada, where its refinery was located.
The majority of the metals refined for the company were used for industrial purposes.
It is unknown as to when the partnership began to produce investment grade bullion, but the company produced gold and silver bullion bars and rounds until the end of the partnership in 1977.
The majority of the gold and silver bars refined by the limited partnership used the Johnson Matthey & Mallory Identification Marks found in this short section about Mallory bullion.
CMW Inc., a welding company, was a started by P.R. Mallory.
The Johnson Matthey partnership with Mallory created silver bars, in limited supply, for the company.
The Identification mark on these bars is found at the top left of this page.
Furthermore, in the last few years, fake silver bars with the JM&M Identification mark have been observed on the secondary market; example here.
If you find a JM & M bar or a Johnson Matthey & Mallory silver or Gold Bullion bar on the secondary market, the bar should look more weathered and the bar will not have any markings on its reverse side, like this bar here.
The Johnson Matthey & Mallory company produced poured and minted bullion bars.
Johnson Matthey
Bullion Rounds
Johnson Matthey is commonly known in the bullion market for their precious metals rounds and bars.
During the 70's & 80's, two refining giants produced a great deal of
the world's investment grade bullion; Johnson Matthey and Engelhard
were constantly battling each other, for market share.
Johnson Matthey produced Bullion Rounds for Gold, Silver, and Palladium.
Freedom Rounds
After Engelhard came out with the American Prospector round, Johnson Matthey created the Freedom Series rounds and other decorative silver rounds.
The 1ozt. Silver Freedom rounds came in a set of 10, each round is inscribed with a Freedom that Americans hold dearly.
The Set of 10 Freedoms Rounds included:
- The Right to Vote
- Freedom of Speech
- The Right to Privacy
- The Right to Bear Arms
- Freedom of the Press
- Freedom of Slavery
- Freedom of Religion
- The Right to Counsel
- The Right to Trial by Jury
- Freedom of Assembly
The Freedom rounds were only produced in silver.
Liberty Trade Silver Rounds
Johnson Matthey and Engelhard produced a 'Liberty Trade Silver' round, these rounds are harder to find than the 'Freedom' or 'American Prospector' rounds.
The rounds are identified with Lady Liberty on the obverse side and her torch on the reverse.
Johnson Matthey produced a proof and non-proof (bullion) version of the round.
1ozt. round - reverse
Look for the Johnson Matthey or Engelhard logo/trademark, on the bottom of the reverse side, to authenticate these rounds.
In addition, a mid 1980's year will be inscribed directly across from the logo, on the other side of the torch.
These rounds range from 1/2ozt. to 5ozt. in size, all have very limited mintages.
Johnson Matthey (and Engelhard) also produced 'Liberty Trade Silver' bars in the same size range, as the rounds.
Note:If the round is made by Engelhard, the Engelhard 'E' logo (or trademark) will be in the same place as the 'JM' logo is located, in the photo (above).
Decorative & Commercial
Rounds
Johnson Matthey often produced gold and other silver rounds for many
private companies and organizations.
These rounds were often produced with detailed artistic designs, inscribed on them, from the company or organization that commissioned the round.
These customers included: Xerox, Scotia Bank, the Lions Club, The
Royal Bank, The National Bank of New York, TD Bank, King FooK (a Hong Kong based jewellery company), and the Walt Disney Company and many others.
StillWater Palladium Rounds
In the mid 2000's, the StillWater Mining Company released Palladium Rounds and bars that consisted of Palladium refined by Johnson Matthey.
StillWater Mining Company is based in Billings, Montana. The company
primarily mines palladium and platinum. It is the only miner of platinum group metals in the United States.
reverse side
The palladium rounds and bars were named after Lewis & Clark, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the pioneer's expedition, across America, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson.
The palladium in these rounds and bars, were mined by Stillwater Mining Company, refined by Johnson Matthey, and were minted by the Northwest Territorial Mint.
The .9995 fine palladium round were minted in the following sizes:
- 1/10 ozt.
- 1/4 ozt.
- 1/2 ozt.
- 1 ozt.
The StillWater Palladium bars have only been observed in the 1ozt. size.
The rounds and bars are usually found inside an assayers card, with a six digit serial number on the card.

Johnson Matthey
Bullion Bars
Johnson Matthey stopped producing all smaller sized gold and silver bullion bars in the year 2000. The company was the largest manufacturer of minted bars in North America, for nearly 30years (1971-2000).
However, the company did continue to produce Gold & Silver LBMA 'Good Delivery' bullion bars, used in the wholesale and professional investment markets.
Johnson Matthey started to produce the gold 400ozt. 'Good Delivery' bars in 1961.
In May of 2012, Johnson Matthey licensed their name to the Sunshine
Mint.
Shortly thereafter, the Sunshine Mint started the production of 1ozt. Silver bullion bars with the Johnson Matthey name and Logo and offered them through a few key wholesalers. See article here.
Unfortunately, due to falling precious metals prices and a refocusing of the companies business, Johnson Matthey announced on December 15th of 2014, that they were going to completely exit the Gold & Silver Refining business.
As of March, 2015, the company has completely exited from the refining of gold and silver, which is explained in this article from the Bullion Vault: Johnson Matthey Exits Gold & Silver Refining After 160 Years.
Furthermore, you can also see that the company has been removed from the LBMA's list of Current Gold & Silver Refiners here.
Types of Bullion Bars
Produced by Johnson Matthey
Johnson Matthey's refinery produced two types bullion bars, Cast (Poured) & Minted Bars.
Cast Bullion Bars - are produced by pouring molten precious metal directly into a mold. Markings are usually stamped on the bar using a hammer or a press. The surface of the bar can be uneven and have some small pits and grooves. In addition, company markings on cast bars will look depressed or 'sunken,' into the bar Each player's life-counter is displayed on their side of the playing field and will either rise or drop according to the progression of the game. Windows 10. The player can set break-points to allow him or her to execute «fast-acting» spells or card abilities in case the program is not smart enough to automatically spot such possibilities. | Minted Bullion Bars - are cut from a cast bar that has been rolled to a uniform thickness. The cutting is done with a die to create blanksthat have a specified dimension and weight. All the surfaces are smooth and even. Markings are stamped onto the bar using a minting press. In addition, company markings on minted bars will be 'raised' due to this process. (Minted bullion photo provided courtesy of Heraeus) |
Johnson Matthey : Serial Numbers
In General, serial numbers on bars, that are Not 'Good Delivery' bars, are put on bars and or assay cards as a service for the individual investor; to help them to keep track of the bullion they own.

- 5 digit: serial number
- 6 digit: serial number
No uniformity has been found among these numbers, except that bars produced in the same batch share the same series of serial numbers.
In addition, consecutive numbered bars of the same size and precious metal, have been observed.

Johnson Matthey
Silver Bar Sizes
Johnson Matthey produced Silver bullion bars as small as 1gram up to
the 1000ozt. LBMA 'Good Delivery' size.
Silver bullion bars under the one troy ounce size are usually much harder to find. You should expect the value of these bars to be higher than the intrinsic value of the bullion, due to their size and limited mintage.
Furthermore, Johnson Matthey made several different sized silver bullion bars, cast and poured, in the following sizes:
- 1 gram
- 5 gram
- 10 gram
- 1/2 ozt.

SilverTowne, LP, is located in Winchester, Indiana, and was founded in 1949. They are considered one of the largest and most well-respected precious metal dealers and private mints in the United States. Leon and Ruhama Hendrickson created SilverTowne on the premise of honesty and integrity, and with the belief system that a deal could be sealed with a handshake; they based their company on the trustworthiness of good business practices. The company has grown from a handful of coins to four different entities under one roof.
SilverTowne Products and History
SilverTowne mints highly sought after “logo” silver bars for investment purposes, as well as intricate art bars which offer more of a collectibility factor. SilverTowne’s distinctive logo and markings are recognized by investors and collectors alike, which allows for easy buying and selling of their silver bullion and other products.
SilverTowne mints gorgeous silver bars, many that can be custom engraved for gift giving for a small fee. Some of their silver bar products are hand-painted by talented artists and covered with enamel including designs for Christmas, religious events, special occasions, other holidays, and more.
The most popular SilverTowne silver bar are their Prospector bars that come in 1 oz., 5 oz., and 10 oz. sizes (pictured above). Each bar carries the logo of a prospector and his faithful mule. These silver bars have individual serial numbers to assure that all SilverTowne silver bars are absolutely .999 pure silver and carry the SilverTowne hallmark.

So I suggest you contact Daisy. Mar 07, 2014 Serial Numbers - Most of the guns I own I have been able to locate a serial number fairly easy but there are a couple that do not have one I can locate. I know that in the beginning God created the Daisy but no necessarily the serial number. The Daisy air gun was first invented by a windmill company as a promotional incentive in 1886. The style has evolved over the years, and there are some markings on.
The SilverTowne 10 oz silver bar is the most popular for both investors and collectors, but SilverTowne has many other sizes and even silver bullion loafs that come in different weights. The more collectable silver bars sell at a higher premium over the spot price of silver at the time of purchase.
Engelhard Serial Number Verification
Unfortunately, SilverTowne as of late has struggled to produce enough of their products to satisfy market demand. Their 10 oz logo bars especially have seen massive delays and shortages in 2013, which is largely due to SilverTowne’s limited production ability. We hope to see them increase their capacities in the near future.
Sales and Operations
SilverTowne not only produces all their products, but they sell directly to the public as well. Their mint and showroom are both located in Winchester, Indiana and there are public tours of their facilities. In July 2012, SilverTowne launched a monthly silver bar giveaway. The company announced this on the statement they wanted to ‘give back to their valued customers.’
