I purchased this silver ingot

[Owen ma]

I purchased this silver ingot. I tested its silver content and found it to be 993. So I bought it at the price of silver. However, considering that there are words on it and it's an old silver ingot, there should be a premium. Does anyone understand this? We can have a discussion.

I wouldn't have, but good luck to you.

Looks Japanese to me?

What is it's weight?

 

[Owen ma]

The total weight is 300 grams. It was sold to me by a crew member. Since my store is right next to the port, I informed the seller that if I could continue to purchase, I believed that at the price of silver, it wouldn't be too unreasonable anyway.

Very interesting old bar. Just about ten Toz.
If it were for sale here in Seattle, you could probable get $600 to $800 for it.

This is a good price. I can get more of these silver ingots. I hope someone will like them.

Unh… that's in the US, Owen, they may not be that rare in Asia.
But old, marked up bars, are collector's items over here.

These two appear whiter and have less traces of being soaked by seawater.
