Small Square bullion pour J. Parsons Assay but not the faux gold... silver!

Hello,

Gat Finger here.
Thanks for your nice website.
Thanks for your view in advance. Thanks for your time, too. I am ...

Seeking information on ...
J.Parson's Assay 1860 COL. (Colorado) (NOT the Faux gold plated fakes.)






Branding: Larger one is stamped. Smaller one is impressed while molten.

Both appear to have patina consistant with age.

Many years ago, I traded for two ingots, which are about the size of (U.S. 1860s) fractional paper money , but bullion. Both have est. 150 years worth of patina aging IMHO. I think that the metal is an amalgam: Silver+ ??? They have been in a drawer since ~1995 or 6.

1. Large one: 4.36 oz (2 5/8 x 1 1/4 inches x ~ 3/8 thick) Eagle embossed on the bottom of poured ingot;

2. Small one: 2.34 oz (1 3/4 x <1 3/8 inches x < 1/4 thick) Eagle debossed (impressed into) the bottom of the poured ingot.

I have owned poured ingots in the past, and these match those characteristics (i.e. poured and then stamped.)

Any help is appreciated.

Thx,

Gat (aka Mr. Finger)
