1969 United States Assay Office at New York. 6.18 ounces. 999.7 fine. Receipt # 938, lot #R199. AU-50. Another example with brilliant yellow gold surfaces. The reverse has few ridges, most noticeably near the E of FINE. Sharp, reflective luster is seen on the reverse and is quite attractive. The stamp of the U.S. Assay Office is offset a touch to the left. Handling marks are almost not existent and the assay office stamp is bold and deeply impressed. Minor gas bubbles do exist on the obverse. Another issue that is rare with regard to its year of issue and the ingot specialist would be wise to acquire this with the 1968 issue.
