Rainbow Silver Art Bar pic

I know its not EXACTLY coin related, but I found this 1970 silver art bar in a bunch of stuff I bought that is just beautiful! My scanner, as usual, doesn't quite do it justice, but it gives you an idea. I know that these were popular during the 70s, so i thought I would share it with you all.

Clevegreg,

Neat piece. Do you know how the piece acquired such colors?

Hi Bryan,

It was stored at the bottom of a cardboard box in a paper 2x2 that had a tear in it. There were a bunch of old Whitman albums etc. in the box too. According to the gentleman I bought it from, most of these items had been undisturbed for 25 years or so.

I've got one of those that I've had in an envelope for 6 months or so and you should see the colors. These are .999 pure silver like the SAEs and consequently tone very fast. That's a nice one.
