Ingots
1946 U.S. Mint Philadelphia, Type One Hallmark, #53, 999 Fine, Lot #10. 9.97 ozs .
Philadelphia Mint silver ingots are scarce items. All Type One and Type Two hallmarked Philadelphia ingots were produced in 1946, with the exception of one known 1956 example. Probably no more than a few hundred ingots were produced in Philadelphia of all three hallmark variants with far fewer remaining today. This is a well laid-out ingot with a nicely centered hallmark. Light, even gray patina is seen over each side.
