Minted Ingots

A minted ingot is a bar that starts as a blank. A blank is a piece of metal that’s in the shape of a bar but is smooth with no design elements. Blanks are loaded into a machine that applies thousands of pounds of pressure to stamp the design onto the blank.

Some popular minted ingot producers at BGASC are the following:

• SilverTowne: SilverTowne is among the most popular private mints in all of America. They’re known for their Buffalo Bar – showcasing imagery from James Earle Fraser’s 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Another popular option is the American Flag Bar, showcasing the 13 stripes and 50 stars of the flag.
• Sunshine Minting: Another popular private American mint is Sunshine Minting. In terms of their minted ingots, they offer the Sunshine Silver Bar.

Cast Silver Bars

Cast bars represent the earliest form of bars made by human civilizations. Silver shot or ingots are poured into a mold that is completely enclosed. The silver is heated, typically using induction technology, before being cooled. This form of producing silver bars gives them a distinctive look and feel.

Some popular 5 oz silver cast bar producers at BGASC are the following:

Hand-poured Bars
