Not sure but I think it is from my BACKYARD here in T.N., lol....
The title "classic coins", makes me think it is a small business, probably long since folded who poured their own bars, that just happened to be located in Chattanooga T.N.....
Look at that nice toning around the rim on bottom, one real beauty of a rare silver bar....
But very much like a 25 oz. Gateway silver bar I just shipped to Throw back earlier today, its so rare little if any know of it or have ever heard of it....
Gateway was small Canadian company that could not compete with the Engelhards, J&Ms, and Academy's of the world, like those old rare dead end motorcycle or car companies that folded that could not compete with the big boys. Overtime they may become valuable/collectible, but the big throw back often so rare its value is stricken, as again so few know what it is, they are not confident to go high on such an item....
I would be a buyer at around 900 for an item like this, and if you ever wanna sell it down the road let me know as I am partial to the home state bar for sure, very cool great find....
