Small, One-Ounce 1985 Cripple Creek Doré Gold Ingot

1985 Cripple Creek Doré Gold Ingot. Doré ingots from the 19th century are sometimes encountered, but this is the first we have seen from the 20th century. Doré ingots are an intermediate casting before the alloy is refined to .999, or whatever fineness is required. This small ingot reads: CRIPPLE CREEK & VICTOR/GOLD MINING CO./1ST HEAP LEACH DORÉ/AUGUST 15,1985. The back reads: 1 TR. OZ./FINE GOLD - 798.2/FINE SILVER - 183.1/ #39 OF 80.
The surfaces show noticeable traces of reddish patina on each side, but especially on the back.
