    Welcome to the boards.
    I don't know anything about those bars in particular... but, older pour style ingots are
    collectible and do usualy sell for a premium over spot price.
    Someone else will chime in here shortly and can probably help you identify these.

    I sold silvereagles92 a bar that had IV on it. Generic old pour. Yours is older than mine I believe.

    The Nevada City Mint ones are neat, they don't make those anymore I believe, there is also a Carson City Mint that looks just like the Nevada City Mint ones.

    Never seen the others, nice generic old pour silver you have, if you are looking to sell, ebay them as you can get much more over spot for them.

    Thanks

    PS The Nevada City Mint ones were mostly done to sell to tourists or something like that. The Carson City Mint had ones exactly like that which were sold to people visiting the mint.

    pennyweight (dwt):
    The pennyweight was the weight of a silver penny in medieval England.
    It is no coincidence that there were 240 pennies to the English pound.
    240 silver pennies were equivalent to a pound of silver.
    The word sterling applies both to the English pound and to the standard
    purity of silver.
    1 pennyweight = 24 grains (dwt) (1 old time French penny)
    1.55 grams=1 pennyweight (dwt)
    20 dwt=1 troy ounce
    240 pennyweights = 1 pound troy
    24 grains=1 dwt
    1 pennyweight =.05 troy ounce
    1 gram=.643 pennyweight

    I have heard of these before, they used to advertise them even in the Coinage and Coins magazines during the early 1980's, they were made by some little outfit in Nevada City, CA and if I remember correctly when silver was like $20 an ounce then, they were selling these for about $10 each which was high for bullion. They really were more novelty because of their size. I remember wanting one, because I am from that part of California - I never looked hard enough for one in the aftermarket and never got one.
