Ingots
1969 New York Assay Office Gold Ingot. 5.91 Ounces. This particular dated, round hallmark was used for many years. The first use we have found was on a 1951-dated ingot published several in a blog by Ken Conaway on NYAO gold ingots. The latest use we have seen is on the website Gold Bars Worldwide, and that ingot is dated 1980. Of course, it is possible this Dated Round Hallmark predates 1951, and it would make sense it was used until the NYAO closed in 1982. At 5.91 ounces, this is a more affordable example of a government-issued gold ingot. The round hallmark is centered on the top side, and in fact spills over slightly on the left and right margins. The melt number is on the narrow bottom side: R199. The ingot number, 741, is in the usual place, the narrow top side. The weight is expressed on the right side as OZS. 5.91. Fineness is imprinted at the top of the back side: FINE / 999.7. Bright, rich orange-gold color overall with no mentionable marks.
