The most important trasnportation means in continental United States was the railroads.Legacy included heroes,robbers,and crooks.Crooks made these fake silver ingots -"WELLS FARGO RR. EXP. CO. 2 DOLS S.F.CAL 1870" that are 1 3/8" x 1 7/8" x .2" in size.This fake is a rare period (probably 1870s) example of the silver Wells Fargo ingot. NOT the quality of the US Mint.This is poorly struck out of a lead alloy,probably good enough to fool bartenders,drunk gamblers or ....'s.This is a wonderful transportation,numismatic,or American West collectable.This will weigh about 5 1/2 ounces packed.This is really nice.I charge $1.50 for P/H which includes US delivery confirmation .Thank you for looking,
