Ingots
1967 New York Assay Office Gold Ingot. 5.28 Ounces. Tooled. Round Hallmark, dated 1967. NYAO silver and gold ingots are the scarcest of all ingots, and little is known about them. It is not possible to correlate the hallmark types seen on silver ingots with those found on gold ingots. No one has made a systematic study of the gold ingots. The NYAO gold ingots do exhibit their own peculiarities, such as the ingot numbering system and melt numbering system. On this piece, the ingot number is TR5550, the melt number is X18328 -- quite different from the usually seen San Francisco silver ingots. The weight is seen on the right side: OZS 5.28. Fineness is seen at the top of the back side and is expressed as: FINE / 999.8. This ingot has obviously been tooled over each side, the most noticeable area is seen through NEW YORK, but light tooling is seen throughout. Still, an unusual and rare ingot for the dedicated collector.
