This is an amazing collection of rectangular Sterling Silver ingots from The Franklin Mint that chronicle the history of the automobile year-by-year beginning with the 1875 Marcus and ending with a 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit.

Each rectangular ingot is approximately 57x32mm and made from 1000 grains of Sterling Silver (2.0833 Troy ounces at 480 grains per Troy ounce). The background of every ingot is a proof-like mirror finish with the car designs in raised relief and matte finish. There is a total of 208.33 Troy ounces of Sterling Silver in the entire set of 100 ingots.

The Collection is stored in an oak box with four removable display trays, each holding 25 ingots in a deep-red leatherette-style surface. Each tray is framed in oak with mitered corners, and all four trays rest on rails in the large oak box that looks almost like a pirate's treasure chest. A bronze plaque on top identifies the collection, and brass compression latches and brass hinges are mounted on thick leather straps that surround the chest all the way around.

This comes from the liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint. Date: City: Dayton State: Nevada HWAC# 77129
