W. H. FOSTER, INC.

ALL ENGELHARD is pleased to welcome visitors to our W. H. Foster Definitive Page. While our focus is clearly Engelhard, we recognize that many Engelhard bullion collectors also collect other bars and ingots. As such, we appreciate the opportunity to present additional collections and look forward to your thoughts and input!

The general consensus amongst our collector community is that W. H. Foster, Inc. was in operation from roughly 1968, until their name change to Lewis & Clark Mint, Inc. in 1972. There is further evidence that suggests Hercules Picerne and Bob Naimy operated the W. H. Foster, Inc. coin shop and mail order business as early as 1964. The earliest dated production pieces are the 1966 tokens which were given to customers depending on the size of their orders and it is speculated that these tokens were possibly produced by Northwest Historical Medals, Inc. given their Walla Walla, Washington location in the Paine Building was shared with W. H. Foster at the time.

W.H. FOSTER BULLION

Hercaimy Enterprises operated as a coin shop business from 1968 to 1970 in Walla Walla, Washington, independent from W. H. Foster. Hercules Picerne and Bob Naimy cleverly created the name Hercaimy, derived from Hercules and Haimy. Hercaimy Enterprises produced the Silver Eagles Nest series of collector pieces as well as smaller weight class ingots for the well recognized International Precious Metals ‘IPM’ company of Las Vegas, Nevada – not to be confused with the more modernly produced Intermountain Precious Metals ‘IPM’ examples that lack a serial number. While the names Herc Picerne and Bob Naimy may be observed on the token rounds in denomination of $1.00 and $5.00, you’ll note the curious absence of this name reference on the .50c example as it was produced strictly as W. H. Foster example.

There remains some mystery surrounding the poured examples, and the ‘eagle-over-ribbon’ Type 1 and Type 2 hallmarks. The community often refers to them as Foster bars, but we currently do not have any substantive proof of such, and some collectors are even open to the theory they may have been produced by Deak Perera. Certainly a minority opinion, but still worth mentioning. It is because of these mysteries that ALL ENGELHARD welcomes additional information regarding the examples presented on this page.

	1oz	[Foster ‘Type 1′ Hallmark] [.999] [SILVER]	[COMSTOCK MINES] [CARSON CITY] [NEVADA]	1oz class ‘Type 1′ hallmark ingot produced in 1968 by W. H. Foster, Inc. The vast majority of these ingots seem to have been poured from the same or very similar casting moulds. They exhibit a ‘ground-off’ pigtail on one side. The’ Type 1′ hallmark can be found on either the narrower ‘obverse’ or the wider ‘reverse’ of the ingot. Both of these variations are photographically presented. Three known examples are an extremely rare variation that demonstrate a more ‘square’ footprint, and a shallow trapezoid with no ground-off pigtail. Interesting to note the example pictured below XRAY assay tested at 83.631% silver and 16.985% copper.	N/A	<1,000
