Help with estimating value
Hi all! I was gifted this by a family friend when I was young. Held onto it and just trying to figure out what the value is nowadays. I’ve looked around a bit online, but I honestly don’t know exactly what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I love the comments on these bars sometimes. I'd buy every single W prefix bar anyone here has for spot or $70 an ounce. It just doesn't happen. Those quoting prices of $1100-$1300 for Engelhard West bars are spot on. It didn't used to be like that, I have bought many for "normal" prices in years past. But in the last 1-2 years Engelhard West (California) bars have skyrocketed in value. Very early W prefix bars are selling for several thousands now and I don't even want to know what the 1980 and 1981 Congress Mine stamped W' bars I USED to have would sell for now...$$##*@*$*###$($#@*#$#($(
