Silver one ounce bar by U.S.V.I. Ingot Company! / Re-blog lottery for a chance to win 3 HSBI!

avatar

Lately I've been sharing a lot of coins I picked up on trips over the years. While those always bring back great memories, they aren't the only thing I like to collect. Thrift stores are always fun to visit and just browse through. You can find just about anything for anyone if you take your time looking for hidden treasures. One thing I tend to buy there are used Legos, you would be surprised what people are willing to pay for old Legos online!

Getting back to the my item of the day, it isn't a Lego, but one of these days I may share a couple of cool finds in that category. This particular item I picked up in a Jewelry store in Long Beach, California several years ago. It was a store I had never visited before but had a sign that stating that they bought gold/ silver. I went in and talked to the owner for awhile and he said I was welcome to look at stuff he recently purchased but hadn't sent off the refinery yet to be melted down. Among them was this little beauty, a one ounce silver bar made by U.S.V.I. Ingot Company. He sold it to me at spot which was really nice of him, but I'm sure he bought it for much less than spot! When I'm in Long Beach I try to make a point to stop by his shop to this day.

U.S.V.I. Ingot Company was around in the early 1980's located in Anaheim, California. Their bars are relatively hard to find anymore as many have been melted down over the years. This one was produced in 1981, and looks a little rough but I still like it. The A-Mark bars were just some of what they produced, but if you ever find one at a good price they are great to collect!

That was my silver find I wanted to share today, although I don't tend to get to attached to one ounce bars this one has enough history that it's one of my favorites. These are a must in most stackers collections, and I haven't seen any others for sale for quite some time now when I drop into coin shops or jewelry stores. They are very collectible!

Thanks! These are pretty cool, but getting hard to find anymore. They were only produced for a few years in the early 80's!

Interesting history, I have a few A-Mark Silver bars, and didn't know where they were minted!😀
You are very correct about the thrift stores, a couple of years ago Liz and I were looking for sterling, and found a twenty Oz .925 bowl!🤗
$6.99 SOLD!!!😀

That's a steal and a half. I guess they forgot to check if it was silver! Thrift stores are great, if you look carefully there's usually some cool stuff just waiting to be found!

It was quite the bargain! They are getting better at checking for silver, it’s getting tougher to find!😮
 Liz has found several Silver forks and baby spoons, but this was our largest score !😇🤗

They are really cool! They've gotten really expensive anymore, I've not found a good deal on one in over five years. Thanks for the PIMP! I'm slowly buying my way up to 10K to get multiple call.
