Neatly formed silver ingot, 1066 grams, about 98.5% fine, no stamps visible, from the Bredenhof (1753). 5-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1". Originally rectangular (like all VOC ingots) but now with only one side more or less intact, the other sides heavily eroded (as much as 1/2" deep) from corrosion and wear, yet still with weight-adjusting pit at one end intact. From the Bredenhof (1753), with original (generic) certificate from the salvagers. ($800-1200)
