DESCRIPTION:
Numitelics International - Saint Charles Line of New Orleans
This landscape variety of Engelhard bar was engraved post-production by Numitelics International and is a private issue limited to 1000 pieces. Each bar was engraved on both sides with the obverse reflecting Numitelics International hallmark on the left and secondary serial number on the right. There was no assurance as to which commercial bars were used for engraving; therefore, the total issuance of engraved Engelhard bars is unknown at this time.
We believe Engelhard produced this bar in 1970 and that it was engraved in 1974 by Numitelics International to commemorate the Saint Charles Avenue streetcar line of New Orleans. The Saint Charles Avenue Line was built in 1835 and remains the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world.
NOTE: This bar does not appear on the 1oz Definitive Page as the novelty counterstamp was not applied by Engelhard. Serial number 032 also known.
