Mesa Casting & Refining Inc.

Arizona is another state with a very rich history of silver refining and many highly coveted hallmarks come out of this state, including Yellow Daisy, Arizona Assay Office, and Gila Development Company, just to name a few. For a number of years until recently, collectors were discovering these beautiful ingots with a “Cactus” hallmark, but nobody knew the maker. We finally have provenance. I believe one of the few who has paperwork that goes with the ingots pictured below.

Incredible pieces that have aged like a fine wine. Top bar is 10.28 troy oz and bottom bar is 7.69 troy oz. Look at the bubbling on the bottom ingot. Incredible. Gold toning inside.
Top ingot is thicker. It appears same mold used, but more silver poured on the top ingot, obviously.
Assay paper from 1984. So cool!
