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. TD

<< <i>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.
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!!
