The Desirable Oval Logo Type I Variety

This bar represents the 1980 Oval Logo Type I variety, one of the earliest and most recognizable A-Mark ingot designs.

The obverse features the bold raised A-MARK logo enclosed within an elongated oval. Surrounding the logo is a repeating multilingual background incorporating ".999 Silver" in numerous languages, giving the ingot a unique appearance that immediately distinguishes it from later A-Mark issues.

Collectors commonly refer to this design as the Oval Logo or Type I ingot.

Unlike the later "brick" stacker bars produced by A-Mark, the Oval Logo series was manufactured for a comparatively short period and has developed a dedicated collector following.
