I have a 10.42 oz poured bar. And stamped on the bar are the letters FTO. Anybody seen these before or own one?

    A pic would help.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Looks like a homemade basement-made bar. Not sure what one of these are worth. Personnaly, I don't trust them and I wouldn't buy one.

    That's a cool bar. I'd weigh it and calculate it's density by water displacement.

    I bet you could sell it here no problemo.

    The specific gravity test wouldn't help if a lead alloy was used that had the same specific gravity as silver. Without any indication of who made it, it may be difficult to sell.
