1977 ENGELHARD AMERICAN GOLD PROSPECTOR A highly collectible piece of early American private-mint gold from one of the most recognized names in precious metals — Engelhard. This vintage 1977 American Gold Prospector contains 1 Troy Ounce of .9995 Fine Gold and carries the classic Prospector design depicting a gold miner panning for gold. The opposite side features the vintage Engelhard globe/E logo and is boldly marked ENGELHARD – 24 KARAT – 99.95 PURE – ONE TROY OUNCE FINE GOLD. Highlights: Year: 1977 Manufacturer: Engelhard Series: American Gold Prospector Weight: 1 Troy Ounce Metal: Gold Purity: .9995 Fine Gold / 99.95% Pure Marked: 24 Karat Type: Vintage Private-Mint Gold Round Made in: USA Classic Engelhard Prospector design Vintage 1970s Engelhard issue Scarce collector bullion Engelhard began producing its 1 oz Gold Prospector in 1975, making this 1977 example one of the early issues in the series. All Engelhard estimates production of the 1975 and 1976 issues at fewer than 10,000 pieces each, although it does not publish a specific surviving/mintage figure for the 1977 on its reference page. This is an excellent crossover piece for the vintage Engelhard collector, rare bullion collector, or serious gold stacker — one full ounce of gold with collectible Engelhard history well beyond ordinary modern bullion. You will receive the exact 1977 Engelhard Gold Prospector shown in the photographs. Please review all photos for condition
