Afternoon everyone ….
If you didn’t already realize it, I bought a bunch of stuff from the local coin shop we visited in Las Vegas during the silvergoldstackers meet up.
Today is a sweet vintage bar from the Mother Lode Mint. This is another silver bar, which I prefer rounds. But it’s a really cool design and it’s “The Prospector” so I couldn’t resist. This one wasn’t cheap, it had a price tag of $40 on it, but I think he took $3 off on it.
In researching this Numista had some info on it.

In looking at listing on auction sites, they typically are selling between $45-$60. So I did ok on this at $37.
