West Coast Refining, Inc.

Had to kick off the “W” box with this old refiner. I’m a huge fan of these bars and they have really come into their own, as collectors are aggressively buying these up when they come up, which is seldom. These ingots came in 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 oz size. Here are my two 10 oz which have slight differences in stamping.

Notice positioning of stamp on purity from top and bottom bar. These are both odd weights, as well, which is customary for these.
Nice patina forming on the reverse of bottom pictured ingot.
Another top 10 contented for my 5 oz class collection. Absolutely love this piece!
Reverse of 5 oz class.

Here’s another beautiful 10 oz class from Brian R’s collection.

Gorgeous patina on this 10 oz class piece.
Fantastic pour character on reverse.

Lastly, a family photo of my West Coast Refining pieces.

Took me a long time to put together this trio!

  1. hello, I have a 51 ozt west coast bar. if i was to sell it what do you think it would bring? thanks

    1. There are no comps for this size, so really hard to put a number on it. If the bar is in good shape and has some color/toning, I could see if probably doing $40+ per oz depending on the buyer.
