As you look at this gold bar, you will find a beautiful golden-yellow color that is uniform throughout the bar’s field. Given its age, the bar remains in great condition and shows very few of the common casting imperfections you often see in simpler bars of this type. The most evident of these are the cracks on the bottom that formed naturally as the bar cooled.

The United States Assay Office at New York was one of the finest in the U.S. Assay Office. The refiners here had a reputation for achieving incredible purity levels in the production of both gold and silver ingots. The office was established in March 3, 1853 and opened a year later at No. 30 Wall Street. The U.S. Assay Office at New York has a rich history that once saw it operate as the largest gold refiner and processor on the U.S. East Coast. When it closed in 1982, it was the lone public gold refinery still operating in the United States.
