    lets see the bar. I've seen 1000 grains, 1500 grains, 5000 grains, etc sterling bars. 1408 is odd

    The Franklin Mint came out with all sort of odd size Sterling Art Bars. Chances are good, yours is one.

    The second mark (to the right of the "c") appears to be the hallmark for the Franklin Mint which is a F and M monogram resembling a bird somewhat.

    Example on ebay review.
    Witty sig line currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.

    1408 Grains Sterling .... .925 fine Silver.

    The " C " is for Copyright.

    The " F " is for the Franklin Mint.

    The " 74 " is for the year of issue ... 1974.

    The " P " indicates Proof.



    Hope this helps!!

    That's it. The guy's math does not add up, but the very precise odd weights are interesting. I wonder if perhaps they were shooting for 100 t.o. net wt. for the set.
