1 Oz Class Silver Smalls

Finally getting through the majority of the “Smalls.” It’s been a work in progress for quite some time. Hope you enjoy.

Scarce 1 oz variety from Hallmark Precious Metals Inc. They were in business from 1974-2004 and operated out of Mercer Island, Washington, as well as a few other locations in Washington.

The obverse of the mysterious “J” ingots. These are neat pieces. I have a 5 oz piece featured in an earlier blog post.
“J” stamp on reverse of ingot.
Top is 1st gen Silvermat (very tough bar to find). Bottom is second gen Silvermat (found more often).
Love the mold of the top first gen Silvermat.
A few really cool varieties of Tombstone AZ pieces from Brian R’s collection.
Reverse pic of the two Tombstone pieces.
Two varieties of 1 oz class BRC (Bahamian Refining Company) pieces. Love this Eagle design on the left.
Right non Eagle variety has great patina and different weight and purity design at bottom of the bar.
1 oz class Casey Refining ingot.
Very cool trapezoid style with excellent patina and Eagle stamp on obverse.
Name, weight and purity on reverse.
Rare 1 oz Johnson Matthey Canada, Sandon B.C. ingot.
JMC stamp a bit faint, but such a hard bar to come by. Happy to have it.
This a a neat piece, KML with a Simmons like hallmark. Not much known on these, but they have been commanding very nice premiums when they come up.
Nice looking reverse.
1 oz Global Metal Refiners ingot.
View of top and side stamps.
Neat Virginia City, NV Comstock piece. These are more modern, but were done in very limited quantity.
1 oz class Alexander Westerfeld, Aztec Sun.
Obverse of the AW.
Very high premium 1 oz class Keiffer. Big fan of these.
Reverse of Keiffer.
1 oz Liberty Mint ingot.
Liberty Mint hallmark above. One of the more unusual hallmarks you will come across. Just a box with a line going through it. Not sure what it means.
More modern, but very scarce Prospector’s Gold & Gems first gen 1 oz pour.
Reverse of the PG&G piece is killer.
Very unusual old pour that I picked up about 5 years ago. No idea on this one.
It’s from Arizona and has a GM stamp on the side.
Purity on one side.
16.7 grams.
Non hallmark, but very old in my opinion. It has a Midas Metals look to it, but the mold is very similar to the old Omega 1 oz pours.
Side view.
Beautifully toned reverse.
