GREAT BRITAIN. Gold 10 Tolas Ingot, ND (ca. 1960). London Mint (Royal Mint Refinery). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, Unc Details. A-650. AGW: 3.7558 oz. Fineness: .9999. A large and hefty ingot, this example was produced in a weight of 10 Tolas, a standard measurement for gold in India and Asia. PCGS notes a repair, which appears on the back of the ingot and suggests a previous acid test with some visible abrasions in the same area. Even still, this piece is very attractive, and should command much attention from those interested in precious metals.<p><em>Established in 1852, the Royal Mint Refinery was operated by N.M. Rothschild & Sons for more than 100 years. By the time it ceased operations in 1968, the Refinery developed such a stellar reputation that it was processing much of the gold and silver bullion sent to London from around the world. After a 47-year hiatus, the Royal Mint revived the Royal Mint Refinery brand in 2015, although the present example clearly dates to the earlier period under Rothschild & Sons.</em><p><p>
