Ingots
U.S. Mint San Francisco, 1956 Round Dated Hallmark, #292, 999.75 Fine, Lot #249. 22.69 ozs.
While Type Two and Round Dated hallmark ingots were both produced in 1956, no serial numbers have yet been seen that overlap these two types. Fewer than 45 of the 25-ounce class ingots dated 1956 have been traced in auction appearances since 1980. This is another nicely laid-out larger sized ingot with all the devices contained on the top side. Light rose-gray toning is seen over all sides with considerable underlying brightness.
