NV - no date - Crude 1880's Silver Ingot :
This is a classic legitimate historical ingot. Cute 3.4 troy ounce silver ingot, probably used as an exhibition piece placed next to an ore specimen from one of the west's mines. This ingot shows 777 fine silver, $3.26. The low value may indicate here the period of time when silver began falling in price which precipitated the silver wars in Congress. There is no assayer's mark here, possibly because of the purpose of the ingot.
