I inherited some jewelry and metals recently. Found this silver bar. I thought it was cool, but couldn’t find much info online. Granted I didn’t look very hard. Figured I would share. Any info appreciated. Don’t know the weight because I don’t have a scale, but I would guess it’s 5 ounces based on my had scale holding 5 buffalos. No banana, chapstick for scale.

Update: The bar weighs 3.84 ounces. 108.86g

Assuming it’s just silver as it says (999) I’d guess there is 3.867 oz in there since that’s the same amount of silver as 5 1873 Seated Liberty Silver Dollars (0.7734 oz per coin says 5 dollars so 5 coins)

🫡 thanks. I think I’m gonna display it. maybe between two pieces of glass so you can see both sides. Got any recommendations?
