Heritage called this piece "cleaned" though we object to the connotation. We agree with their "XF" grade and feel it is both conservative and correct.
A genuine early piece of Asian trade silver that saw use and shows the wear that it earned.
Just over 379 grams on our new digital scale, and easily within the 99.99% pure region on the Sigma (note, that's FOUR nines, not just 99.9%). Remarkable for its age.
Multiple oversize images so you can see quality and condition for yourself. This is the actual 10 Lang bar you will receive.
We'll carefully ship this treasure to you via Priority at no additional cost.
