cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 02:33 am Well Cimarron was officially chartered in 1859 and New Mexico was a territory at the time. Can I ask where you got this from? Report this Post to the Staff

samacy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 10:19 am good morning, thank you for your replies. I found it going through my Dad's things. He found it metal detecting.....He took his metal detector everywhere he traveled. Unfortunately, he has passed, and I don't have any more information about it. Report this Post to the Staff
ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 10:22 am It looks to me like a souvenir ingot. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 1:14 pm KT Ingots from this period were poured into rectangular molds, allowed to cool, and later stamped with weight, fineness, etc. Therefore, you wouldn't see markings that appear cast into the metal; that would be the last step--naturally ingots are weighed after cast, not before. Color appears more like pewter than silver. Report this Post to the Staff
