Get your ingots out from hiding

Does anyone have ingots, for paperweights, or other purposes?

Pleas photograph them and let us see the pictures with weight and measurers.

They were made in different shapes like, egg shaped, pear shaped, loaf shaped, round, oval(?) and probably in other shapes too, not to mention, that at least several of them were also made in different sizes. AS I understand it, each shape tells from where it came – unless the also faked it at that time.

I know that Gene has shown some on the thread on ‘Magnetism’, and I hope he will be willing to show them here too, just like I hope that others will show what they have.

I think it would/could be interesting to see the different shapes of ingots, traded over many hundreds of years – in one place.
