Rare Vintage Ingot Assay Bars

(1546MOM-C)(SAFE)(SILVERBOX)

LIMITED ITEM. SURPLUS - PREVIOUSLY OWNED.  Once they are gone, we may not get any more. Sold As Is - NON-REFUNDABLE.

These bars are stamped with various depictions of early settlor days "Wells Fargo", Busts and other images on the front and on the back for all but 2, a wide Spread Wing Eagle.These bars are very rare and most have serial numbers! These bars have been in a safe for well over 40 years. My father purchased them in the early '70s when he worked on the Las Vegas strip. They have all of the rich natural patina intact! They have not been Appraised. What silver or other combination of metals they are comprised of, I don't know. They are beautiful and many of them I cannot find anything like it.
