Ingots
1943 New York Assay Office Gold Ingot. 10.33 Ounces. The New York Assay Office is a little-studied area of U.S. numismatics. Opened in 1854, undoubtedly to coincide with the opening of the San Francisco Mint that same year and as an end-buyer of newly discovered California gold, the Assay Office remained in operation until 1982. Slight variations in the NYAO hallmarks have been recorded by specialists but there has not been a systemic study of these ingots. This is an exceptionally attractive and well laid-out ingot. The top side shows the dated imprint of the Assay Office centered approximately one-third down from the top of that side, followed by FINE / 999.7. The ingot number 9035 is on the top (narrow) side, and the melt number 398 is on the bottom (narrow) side. The surfaces are bright, even gold in color with no problems seen.
