1946 Philadelphia Mint Silver Ingot
9.83 Ounces, Type Three Hallmark

1946 Philadelphia Mint MS Silver Ingot. 9.83 Ounces. Type Three Hallmark. The Type Three hallmark distinguished by a star on each side of PHILADELPHIA. This hallmark was only used in two years, 1946 and 1956 on Philadelphia ingots, and according to Ken Conaway only a single 1956 bar is known. As usual, this bar comes from melt number 10, as indicated on the top edge. All the other required inscriptions are on the back side, while the hallmark is well-centered at the top of the top side. A couple of casting flaws are seen on the lower portion of the date. Mostly brilliant throughout. This is a nice example of this scarce ingot type.
