Hand-poured 9995 silver bar, made of silver obtained from a circa 1968 US Mint Assay Office "grease bar" ingot. These bars were used for Silver Certificate redemption until 1968. The term "grease bar" comes from the hand-written weight (in marker or grease pencil). There was only enough silver from the government-issue bar to make 18 of these Treasury Department fantasy ingots. About 39mm x 52mm x 7-10mm (varies).
Non-PVC bag holder. Note: These are not issued with any sort of certificate.
Production details for this series of vintage-style ingots are documented on this page:
Ingots with vintage/antique marking devices applied.
Every bar in this category has a serial number starting at 001 in the order that the bars were produced. For identification purposes, the serial numbers are preceded by a 3mm round DC circle logo punch. Every bar in this group is unique in some way, either by weight, design, layout, and/or fabrication technique. A particular marking device may be used for only one impression or possibly up to about two dozen impressions.
These bars are, in some respects, similar to Dennis England ingots that were produced circa 2000. However, these Daniel Carr ingots utilize vintage/antique marking devices whereas Dennis England bars had newly-fabricated marking devices. Dennis England bars have recently been selling for over $1,000 even for one or two ounce silver.
