Hey! Maybe the bars are worth a lot more with the double stamping!........................Like a double stamped coin! I have a double stamped dime that some collectors has been trying to get from me, 15 to 20 years now and they still ask about the darn thing as like a 43s copper penny!.................Sorry for sending this post in another direction.
