Ingots
U.S. Mint San Francisco, 1956 Round Dated Hallmark, #803, Lot #249. 999.75 Fine, 18.03 ozs.
The Round Dated Hallmark was first used in 1956 in the San Francisco Mint. This year is a relatively plentiful one and an early date that can be used for type purposes. This ingot has interesting elements on both sides. At the bottom of the top side the fineness is lightly punched in (the third 9 is not present) and the E in FINE partially off the bar. The reverse has several deep crevices caused by gas bubbles at the time of the casting. Light, even gray patina overall.
From The Dr. Steve Allen Collection.
