Description
Exceedingly Rare The Signal Silver Ingot by Scott Newhall
Only 50 Cast
Undated (1973) The Signal Commemorative Silver Ingot. By Scott Newhall. 5.66 Troy Ounces. 999.9 Fine.
33 mm x 52.5 mm x 11 mm, slightly irregular. All marks are on the front face: The Signal logotype and eagle, below which are 999.9 / FINE. Originally and attractively toned with minimal casting imperfections and no post-production blemishes of note. From a limited issue of just 50 commemorative ingots made by California newspaperman Scott Newhall in 1973 for distribution to friends and major advertisers of The Signal newspaper, which he and his wife, Ruth Waldo Newhall, purchased in 1963. According to the website scvhistory.com : Because each was hand-made, no two are alike...A staffer in the newspaper's circulation department stitched together small, gold-and-red flannel bags for each ingot, which was accompanied by a letter that told a glamorized history of the bar and its approximate value. From 1973-78 the rare souvenirs were presented in person to special friends and major advertisers of The Signal, and the Newhall family kept a record of each ingot owner. The offered ingot is missing the original flannel bag and original letter, and the initial recipient is unknown. Very rare.
