Ingots
Mint of the United States at San Francisco, Type One Oval Hallmark, Medium Font # 1283, Curved Stem 9s in 999.5 Fine. 5.13 ozs. Late-1930s to mid-1940s.
Type One oval ingots with a medium-sized serial font were produced between the late-1930s and early 1940s. The hallmark is slightly angled on the top side, and curiously the abbreviation OZS on the back side uses three different type sizes. Rich red and blue toning is seen over each side.
