Justh & Hunter gold ingot #4280 from the S.S. Central America (1857). 20.93 oz, 90.7% fine, with special presentation Book by David Bowers. Ingot size about 2-3/8 inches high x 1-3/4 inches wide x 1/2 inch thick. A desirably compact and perfectly rectangular ingot with markings on top NO.4280 / JUSTH & HUNTER / 20.93 OZS. / 907 FINE. / $392.42, bias-cut assayer's cut in upper-left corner on top and bottom-right corner on bottom, the bottom smooth but with marking 80 near one corner, a very rare and highly sought example of California gold from the Gold Rush days, the specimens from Justh & Hunter (a famous assaying office in San Francisco, Justh himself once an assayer at the mint) being typically much larger and therefore difficult to collect in this small size. Note also that the accompanying book (part of a special presentation package when these gold bars were marketed after the fine) is worth a least 2500 by itself. From the SS Central America (1857). Estimate Value $100,000 - UP
