Cincinatti silver ingots also known as "Cinci" ingots have been one of the biggest break out ingots of 2018. I greatly enjoy monitoring the market to see what is selling heavy and what is selling soft.
2018 seems to be the year of the "old pours". Older US silver ingots produced in the late 1960s to mid 1980s by smaller refineries/mines. This article is going to touch on Cinici ingots. I have JUST received my first one. I will tell you one thing. I now understand what all the talk is about! Pictured below is what arrived in today's mail.
An amazing 5oz and 10oz PAIR. Both ingots share the same landscape. Making them an attractive pair due to both demonstrating similar characteristics. Of course, the classic CINCINNATI stamp in strong lettering. The big highlight factor is the letter prefix in the serial number. Many different letters have been recorded. There does not seem to be any reason why they used these letters. Prefix letters have been mixed through out all weight classes. Of course, the odd weight stamps are always a show stopper. Overall, the obverse side of these ingots have a lot going on!
It's important to include comparison auction hammer prices and buy it now sales in these types of articles. Not only do you get to see what's up and comming but it also includes information on market pricing. It is always difficult to resource market value information. Which makes this article a hedge for any interested investor/collector. Below are screenshots of recent EBay sales.

30oz Cinci in horizontal landscape variety.
Interesting to see the collectable premium on the smaller ingots vs the larger ones. It's evident what collectors are looking for. None the less both sales here are very strong!
I am going to leave off with a fun photo. This note also arrived today as well. It is also another first for me. The most unique and interesting $2 note I own. Silver and currency mix very well!
I hope this article presented some new information pertaining to the collectable vintage silver market. My goal is to keep the community informed and share what I study!
