My grandfather bought and gave this to me in 1992. Even in 1992 this one looked way older than my others. Is there any info out there how to figure this out? I saw some other old ones sell for X’s spot. Is this a basic or more collectible bar? It’s 10 oz.
Thanks guys!

I believe I have seen those before, but I know nothing about them, unfortunately.

Carson City is the obvious guess, but I really have nothing other than CC to base that on.
I saw another example (that didn't look like yours) being called Circle City.

Found this by google. But IM not a member of worthpoint. No details either.

There's one listed on eBay. Might want,to watch it to see if it sells.

Has a gallery of bars and a database of vintage silver/gold that have sold.
Hey, I've seen this bars a number of times. It's considered an unknown bar as far as I know.
Looked it up in my vintage groups.
Some random notes about C* C refiners: Someone loosely threw out the name Continental Coins but idk about that. There's also a C & C Mint( i don't know about them) and Carlino & Carlino.
Age: don't think ppl know exactly, gets passed around as vintage.
Value: Its kinda cool. You could get a decent premium especially with the premiums on vintage atm but its nothing crazy. I'd try to buy cheap as there's no real refiner info. I'd try to sell for a bit more than a more common bar. I saw one with crazy pour lines sell for maybe like 20$ per ounce over spot with these high premiums.
Nice looking old bar.... Based on the links above, should bring a good premium. Cheers, RickO
