In the heart of the 19th century, assay offices were established in New York City and San Francisco to assess the quality of large quantities of gold and silver bullion from the American West. Fast forward to the 20th century, and one of their final acts was refining silver bars dumped into the market in 1980 and 1981. Now, you can find 100 oz US Assay Office Struck Silver Bars online at BGASC.

Highlights:

• Arrives with protective plastic packaging!
• Crafted from silver formerly housed by the New York or San Francisco Assay Office!
• Features a struck format!
• Contains 100 Troy ounces of .999 pure silver.
• Stamped identifiers on the obverse of the bar.

The 100 oz US Assay Office Struck Silver Bar available here arrives with protective plastic for safe shipping. Crafted from silver previously stored at either the New York or San Francisco Assay office, this bar boasts 100 Troy ounces of silver content, at least .999 pure, in a striking format. Both assay office names are prominently featured on the bar to indicate their potential origin.

Please note that older bars like these may show signs of aging such as toning, a natural result of the oxidation process that doesn’t diminish the value of the silver in the bar.

Design

On the obverse side of US Assay Office Struck Silver Bars, you’ll discover hallmark identifiers arranged in landscape orientation, showcasing stamped markings of weight, purity, and metal content. The names of both assay offices are prominently featured here.

History

In addition to testing and certifying precious metals, the New York Assay Office also minted gold and silver bars, coins, and ingots. The San Francisco Assay Office played a crucial role in stabilizing the chaotic gold market of the Gold Rush era by providing reliable assessments of gold quality.
