Lot 2108
1943 United States Assay Office in New York. 11.24 ounces. 999.5 fine. Receipet # 967 9, lot #400. AU-50. A large ingot with fantastic eye appeal. Every element punched clearly and deeply into the gold. The fineness stamp is extremely frosty and the impression of the assay office seal seems close to uncirculated in condition. The left edge of another circular assay stamp is seen on the right hand side of the ingot. The lot # stamp is frosty and deeply punched, the 4 being high. There is a space between the 7 and 9 of the bar # stamp. The weight and OZS stamps are perfectly fit onto the right side of the ingot. A very nice example
The obverse bears the Assay Office stamp (counter-clockwise) and has the punch of FINE 999.8. When viewing the obverse, the right side has"OZS 11.24"punched into it and OZS seems small. The top side contains the number 967 9 punched into it. The bottom side possesses 400, the lot number.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
