- GREAT BRITAIN. Gold 10 Tolas Ingot, ND (ca. 1960). London Mint (Royal Mint Refinery). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, Unc Details. A-650. AGW: 3.7558 oz. Fineness: .9999. A large and hefty ingot, this example was produced in a weight of 10 Tolas, a standard measurement for gold in India and Asia. PCGS notes a repair, which appears on the back of the ingot and suggests a previous acid test with some visible abrasions in the same area. Even still, this piece is very attractive, and should command much attention from those interested in precious metals. Established in 1852, the Royal Mint Refinery was operated by N.M. Rothschild & Sons for more than 100 years. By the time it ceased operations in 1968, the Refinery developed such a stellar reputation that it was processing much of the gold and silver bullion sent to London from around the world. After a 47-year hiatus, the Royal Mint revived the Royal Mint Refinery brand in 2015, although the present example clearly dates to the earlier period under Rothschild & Sons. Estimate: $6,500 - $8,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
