Placer Sierra

Placer Sierra out of Rocklin, CA, was another one of many California refiners back in the late 70s as a gold and silver reclamation company. They were in operation from 1979 to 1985 with their refining done in Orangevale, CA. Their ingots have been found in sizes ranging from 1 oz to 100 oz. They used to be commonly found in 10 oz, but with the growth in new collectors coming into the market, you don’t see these often.

Known by their large letter PS hallmark. Very cool bars.

  1. Wow, that is a very nice 1oz Placer Sierra. I have 2 later examples. Both even weight and finished a little nicer. I dig this rough odd weight 1 tho!
