I don't usually buy special occasion bars, but I had never heard of Motherlode mint, so I thought this would be a good pickup. It looks like I've got the "large ripple" variety of this bar from 1973. I don't love the spots and streaks on it, but I think given enough time, it'll turn into some nice toning.
I like the other side better than the main design side. It's a lot simpler and more understated.
Ahhhh I like the father and son fishing side. That’s a real nice bar @methus.

Awesome, you know How @stokjockey feels about Vintage and Unusual. Please DO NOT CLEAN The BAR Just Let It Do it's Thing Over Time..........

No danger of that. I only clean if there's something eating the metal. Eg. verdigris on old coppers. I hope as it tones over the years, it gets a bit less spotty and streaky and evens out a bit.
