Undated (1964-1968) United States Assay Office at San Francisco "Grease Bar" Silver Ingot. 225.35 Ounces.172 mm x 88 mm x 45 mm. An impressive and imposing silver bar with considerable heft, this piece requires intent and focus to hold securely. It is a true "Grease Bar" (as defined below) since the only "marking" present is in the upper left quadrant of the front face, where the weight 225.35 has been applied in grease pencil. There are no other markings, hallmarks, etc. on any face. Casting imperfections are seen on both the front and back faces, all sides with light to moderate toning. This sale represents our first offering for "Grease Bars" in recent memory and, surprisingly, we are pleased to be offering several examples of this normally elusive U.S. government ingot type herein. An additional shipping fee of $75 will be added to this lot for UPS Ground shipping within the U.S.A. Contact us for international estimated shipping charges.
