5 oz class “A” box

Just a few goodies to share from the 5 oz class. Note the different shapes and sizes, types of molds, etc. All part of the fun of collecting. 5’s are primarily where I have focused my attention of late, but I have a fair amount of larger vintage pieces. We always say we are going to focus on one genre, but collecting silver ingots is highly addicting and it’s hard not to buy larger bars when you come across any vintage pieces. They are all drying up and getting harder and harder to find. Collector to collector transactions are where I’m finding the vast majority of my new additions. I can say this is true for at least the last 1-2 years.

The Asarco is far and away my favorite in this picture, but the Anode extruded and The Atlanta Mint are extremely scarce. I have only seen one other extruded Anode bar and have not seen another Atlanta Mint pour like this.

Update to the “A” box is a nice family photo of 5 oz class American Credit Bar ingots.

Great little bars with nice patina and 4 sub 5 oz weights represented!
The character on the 4.8 pictured on left side middle is second to none.
