Journey into Silver's Past: A Resource for Collectors of Old Silver Bars
Hallmark Precious Metals
HPM is another well known vintage hallmark that you don’t see a lot of anymore. The company operated out of Seattle, WA in the 1970s. Not a lot of information available, unfortunately. These are typically found in 10 oz class. The 1 and 5 oz varieties are extremely scarce.
Very cool design and stamp on this 10 oz class.Obverse has the weight and purity and reverse pictured above with the hallmark stamp.5 oz class has both hallmark and weight/purity on obverse.Nice reverse on the 5 oz class HPM.
Here are a few more great examples that Brian R. shared for this post, including a first gen 10 oz class HPM. Very cool.
You don’t see many first gen 10 oz like top pictured. Awesome.Reverse shot. Nice group here.
