Golden Analytical

Colorado has a rich history of mining and many silver ingots have come out of this state previously. One of the more well known vintage bars come from GA out of Golden, Colorado. I’m a big fan of these and have been collecting them for years. I have sold off some of my GA’s but still have some really great examples to share. They came in 5, 10 and 25 oz class with multiple varieties.

Type 1, 2, 3 and 4. Earliest 10 oz class example pictured at top and last run common vintage 10 oz at bottom
Love the top two with lot number at top and I believe the 25 on second bar from top may be the serial #. Very cool early examples!

The 5 oz class, however, are my favorites and I’ve been hoarding them for awhile. Type 1 is the skinny long pour style and type 2 is shorter and chubbier.

Note the bottom 2 are sequential. Very rare to find bars together like this.
Reverse. Love these!
Note top left has no serial and purity stamp shows .999 Silver versus 999 Fine Silver on the others.
Reverse of the chubby 5 oz. These are all in great condition.

Here are a few from Brian R’s collection. Thanks for sharing!

Cool type 1 10 oz top left and a non serial 10 oz bottom left. The chunky B middle left is in great condition!
Cool 6.45 lot number top left, slightly different number from my type 1 above.

  2. I have 4 sets in original packaging and are sequential GA 10 oz poured bars. Any idea what the set could be worth.

      1. I appreciate the note. GA 10 oz bars are fairly common vintage bars and premiums are reasonable. The sequential nature adds more value, however. There are some GA collectors out there. I think 4 sequential bars in original packaging might command up to $275/ bar. I’m not a buyer of these, but appreciate the note.
