Great Western Coin & Bullion

I’ve always been a fan of these, particularly being from the West Coast. GWCB came in many sizes and variations, but most commonly found in 10 oz class if and when they come up for sale. The 5 oz class are extremely scarce and when they come up, they generally fetch very healthy premiums. I’ve got some nice examples to share from this old refiner out of Modesto, CA.

Two different varieties of 10 oz class. I love the dark toning on the top ingot.
Lot numbers on the reverse.
2 varieties of 5 oz class. These are very tough bars to come by.
The chunky 5 oz has the weight on reverse as seen above.
