Lot 2052
A Gleaming Star Mining Ingot. Mint State. A smaller ingot than the other, with the same incuse 5-pointed star stamped in its center and "MINING Co" beneath. This one is stamped as follows: "3.48 OZS, No 62, 998 FIN." Accompanied by a form from the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Domestic Gold and Silver Operations, dated Oct. 30, 1970, an import license granted to Superior Stamp and Coin Company, Inc., and passing ownership from Glendining, the auction firm based in London. Gleaming and nicer than the bigger one offered here. A desirable lump presumably made from native ore. Little is known of Star Mining Company, but they sure did produce beautiful gold bars, of which this is a splendid example.
