Journey into Silver's Past: A Resource for Collectors of Old Silver Bars
Gateway Metals, Inc.
Have always been a fan of these ingots out of Pittsburgh, PA circa 70s. I’ve only come across 5 and 10 oz class bars from Gateway. In my experience both are scarce, but 5s even more so. I’ve got a few great examples to share below.
Crude but sexy ingots. More of a square shaped mold10 oz has a lot number on the reverse.
Brian R. has a larger collection of these and was nice to share photos for this post.
Killer examples with nice toning. Note the Republic ingot bottom right is an identical match. Gateway likely made these for Republic. Very cool to see this.C lot number with serial 0184 at top left. Same lot as my 10 oz class. The J #003 is really cool, as I’ve never seen a lot number with serial in the 5 oz class bars.

The 5s are probably 400-500 now. The 10’s 400-450 or so in good condition with some patina.
