United Refinery, Inc.

I’m a big fan of these and was happy to recently receive provenance that URI is indeed United Refinery, Inc. A friend had shared an assay paper with the bar and papers (see at the end of this blog post for the assay paper with name). Was really cool to find this out after so much time. These bars are from the early to mid 70s and really well done. I’ve mainly seen these in 5 oz with a few 10 oz and a 100 oz. Enjoy the pics.

The pics don’t do these justice. They are beautiful in hand.
Natural toning is off the charts on these. Not bottom right ingot almost appears to be a different mold. Very rounded and in hand obvious differences.
Doesn’t get much better than these.

Tim C., who has contributed on a few posts, was nice enough to share an example of a 5 oz with a different stamp positioning. See below.

Notice the stamp layout of the hallmark differs from the group above.
Also note, that the reverse on this example has no lot # like those above.
