Did you know there was a mint in Columbus, Ohio? This and similar bars were minted from 1973 through 1975 according to the price guide in silver, nickel, bronze and aluminum. I have not been able to find the location of the mint.
Asking price for this interesting piece of local history is $35, cash. Transaction to take place on the west side of Delaware, Ohio. Please include your text number in the reply, Craigslist communication is horrible.
Thanks for looking.
