Another fun silver mold, used for making small ingots. I plan on carving designs or maybe a name into and making petite silver ingots.

1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce molds

Nice little finds, what kind of shop did you look, Antique store? I gt lucky finding some silver dimes at a Salvation Army Thrift shop.

It was a little antique store just outside of town. Wow, Salvation Army of all places.

In a watch case filled with about 30 1967 1968 50% silver dimes sitting in a cabinet and bought it for 20% BELOW melt value.

Even better....
Below melt value!!

Fab finds!! I'm falling in love with the early US coins- being in the UK they feel exotic 😁

Hey there Prixie Stix 😜🤫

Hehhehee I love how people know what to look for. I wouldn't have a clue! @eveningart had a cool magazine that she was reading... Where do you get your info from??

I'd probably have to walk into a thrift shop with a cheat sheat hahahahahaha

Which Info? I like that these coins are old. The dimes are silver and have a nice patina.

I did not purchase these because of the monetary value. They have some. I purchased these as a gift so whatever the cost, they are worth it. Hoping the person(s) that receive these will enjoy.

Lovely!!! I have to get me some Barbers. I do have a V nickle, just one.

Barbers? Like the kind that cut hair?

Barbers as plural of Barber... The Barber coinage consists of a dime, quarter, and half dollar designed by United States Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber.

Thank you for the information
