Classic Coins, Chattanooga, Tennessee

I’ve been in love with these 10 oz Classic Coins bars since the first one I ever bought. I have nicknamed them “Chattanooga Bars.” I believe they only came in 10 oz class and wish I knew more about them. My assumption is that they were a local business/coin shop in the area and dabble in poured bars for awhile. The style is consistent with mid-late 70s on some of the examples and maybe early 80’s on others. I’ll detail in the photos below.

I have placed the bars in order of age based on my experience with the top being oldest and bottom newest.

Note the top two molds seem to be a bit different than the bottom two, namely the height. I have not measured, but to the naked eye, you can see this. Top bar is more crude and odd weight, whereas the bottom ingot is more refined. See reverse pics below.

It also appears the length of the bottom two bars is just slightly longer.
