OPM , THE REAL DRUG
ONCE YOU GET SOME, YOUR HOOKED AND WILL ALWAYS BE TRYING TO SCORE ANOTHER HIT
OHIO PRECIOUS METALS
It started back in 1974, in a small town in Ohio. They where once one of the largest Silver Refinery's in North America. They had a touch for making Silver shine. Most of the bullion they produced came with a mirror finish.
But like most comany's, you can't stay at the top forever. OPM merged with a company called Elemetal, I am sure most of you have heard of Elemetal. They produced some very high detail coins like the Privateer series, Privateer series is probably the series that they are most known for.
But just like OPM, they to would not last forever at the top. Back in 2016, they found themselves in the middle of a gold and silver smuggling ring. Which would eventually lead to them closing. Will they reopen under a new name? Well time will tell.
My father in-law lives in Wooster Ohio, back in the late 70's he worked for OPM for about 6 months. And this introduced him to silver. He has a large collection of OPM items, from bars to rounds and still collects them to this day.
Well a few months back my wife got a package in the mail from him. It was a tube of OPM 1oz bars. So last night I was looking at some of my silver peices that I have at the house, and for some reason this tube of 1oz bars has not made it to storage yet, so I opened it to take a look. The design is simple and plain but the mirror finish makes you think it is a high premium bar.
So if you ever get a chance to buy one of these bars, do it!!
This isn't the friday pick ups that will come later, so stay tuned

Simple but looks good, thanks for the visit my friend.
collecting things is addicting (-:
Very addicting, thanks for the visit.
Those are great bars man. That mirror finish is really awesome. It was terrible to hear about elemental and there troubles.
Yes it is, they produce some really good looking series. Thanks buddy.
Your bar stack looks so good, and you keep bringing them out to share with us. Thanks buddy
Thanks buddy.
First time I have herd of them. They are very nice looking and if I get a chance I will pick some up.
Yeah, they are pretty nice and cheap.
Very cool bars. I really like their logo..simple, yet a great design for their shiny bars. Stack on !
I will stack on, thanks @lesvizable
I've seen some OPM at the coin shop. Never picked it up because I didn't recognize them. Now, I see they are legit and likely not fake, I'll pick them up next time I see them. . . The ones I saw were still very shiny.
Yeah they do a good job, thanks for visit.
Great addition to any stack and will bring in a higher premium in the future as they get harder to find, cheers.
I hope so, thanks for visiting
