There are not a lot of refiners from this box, but below I’ll showcase several, some more known that others.
First up is Liberty Mint, which are typically found in 5 oz (there are multiple 5 oz varieties), but very scarce in 1 oz and 10 oz class.
Next up is one of my favorites, L.C. Murray. These came in two varieties, with Torch Hallmark and without. We can call these type 1 and 2. I think the non hallmark came first. Below is a non hallmark type 1.
Nice type 1 with picture frame. I have the 3 oz version that I’ll post at a later time with my “smalls” collection.
Next is a 10 oz class Louisville Metals Company ingot. These are typically only found in 10 oz class, but I have seen one 50 oz variety.
Next up is a very rare 5 oz class LCR with Bell hallmark. I’ve only come across 5 or so of these in all my time collecting. They are serialized and were made in very limited quantity based on the serial numbers I’ve seen. They are really neat pieces an very expensive if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to buy one.
This came from Ken Conaway’s collection. Very lucky to have it.
Another set I collect is the Lawrence and Sons ingots from Mohave, CA. These are fantastic and very tough to find. They come in 1, 2, 3 and 5 oz. I have the whole set now, but will feature the other pieces in my “smalls” posts. I’ll try and get a family phone up, as well.
Last up is a mystery, but regardless, a fantastic piece. I’ve seen this listed as LCE, but the special thing about this other that the killer style and hallmark, is it matches exactly the mold of the 5 oz Comstock Mine pieces.
