Hoffman and Hoffman

Hoffman and Hoffman is a favorite for vintage collectors. Just an iconic hallmark which is an “Alchemy” symbol. They made bars ranging from 5 to 100 oz and are known for their cool old vintage rounds with the “Alchemy” symbol and “Unicorn.” They are unique in many ways from the flat 5 oz rare pour to the 10 oz that has the fine circular marks that many show from the way they did the pour. Look closely at the pics to see what I’m referring to.

Two very nice strikes in 10 oz class. Lot’s of patina on both these bars. Both bars have the fine swirly lines on the obverse, but more noticeable in top example.
Doesn’t get much better than this for a reverse. Both are fantastic.

The 5 oz class are the most scarce as far as Hoffman and Hoffman ingots go. They fetch very high premiums.

A trio of flat pour varieties. Just love these!
Nice character on the reverse of these 3.

Here is a stubby 5 oz example that I own.

This one is staying in the permastack!

And now the finale…the family photo.

Fun to see them all together like this.
