Afternoon everyone ….
If you didn’t already realize it, I bought a bunch of stuff from the local coin shop we visited in Las Vegas during the silvergoldstackers meet up.
Today is a sweet vintage bar from the Mother Lode Mint. This is another silver bar, which I prefer rounds. But it’s a really cool design and it’s “The Prospector” so I couldn’t resist. This one wasn’t cheap, it had a price tag of $40 on it, but I think he took $3 off on it.
In researching this Numista had some info on it.

Minted at - Mother Lode Mint Inc. - Jackson, California - USA
Dimensions 50,0 x 29,0 x 2 mm
In looking at listing on auction sites, they typically are selling between $45-$60. So I did ok on this at $37.
Here is the bar….
It's pretty cool. Not mutant baby bar cool though...😪
I bet that bar is worth more than the disgusting baby it was modeled after 😂
It was me...

@silverd510! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @silversaver888. (5/20)
That is a nice find! You did well!
Great looking bar, never heard of that one before. There were so many mints out of California, must have been a real hot spot.
Most of the mints are on the west side predominantly northwest. That’s where all the silver mining is. Cost of shipping much less.
