Description
1963 New York Assay Office Silver Ingot
205.62 Ounces
1963 New York Assay Office Silver Ingot. 205.62 Ounces. The
New York Assay Office is an understudied area of modern U.S.
numismatics. We have only handled 38 ingots, both gold and silver,
during the years we have kept records of mint assay ingots.
Large-size NYAO silver bars are rarely encountered. Ken Conaway
(who recently sold his silver ingot collection to a private museum)
only recorded two NYAO silver ingots in the 200-ounce class.
Neither of those ingots were this or another similarly sized bar
(to be offered in a future auction), making this ingot a
fresh-to-market item. This brick-like silver bar has heavy
oxidation on all sides, suggesting it may have been exposed to the
atmosphere since it was poured in 1963. The large-size New York
ingots have a distinctive layout with the most important legends
widely spaced on the top side. The fineness is expressed as 999 ¾
in the upper-left corner, the round dated hallmark in the
lower-left corner, and the weight 205.62 centered on the lower
portion of the top side. The short left side shows the imprint of
the melt number: R 219, while the short right side has the lot
number 593. This ingot measures: 196 mm x 85 mm x 37 mm. A rare
opportunity for the ingot specialist.
