San Francisco Mint Cast Silver Ingot. Undated Type II Oval Hallmark.

San Francisco Mint Cast Silver Ingot. Undated Type II Oval Hallmark. Ingot No. 1004. 25.55 Ounces. 999.5 Fine. 59.8 mm x 92.0 mm x 14.0 mm. The front face is stamped (oval hallmark) / 1004 / 24.55 OZ[S] / 999.5, the upper edge stamped with the number 14. Straight-stem 9s in the fineness. Most faces are toned in soft mauve-gray patina, the bottom face untoned apart from a few swirls of charcoal-russet that are most prevalent around the edge. The bottom face is also interesting in that there are a few copper-colored depressions at bottom, accompanied by several deep "lines" (similar to adjustment marks on coins, but deeper) that we believe are Mint-made - when taken together, these features point to a metallic impurity in the ingot in this area, which was then (mostly) removed in the Mint. Definitely a curious feature, and one that we cannot recall seeing on another classic San Francisco Mint silver ingot.
