IGR Istanbul 2.5g Fine Silver Bar Assay $130
This IGR Istanbul Gold Refinery 2.5g Fine Silver Bar represents a high-quality investment piece consisting of .999 pure silver. The bar is securely encased in a vibrant purple "SilverGram" tamper-evident assay card, which serves as a certificate of authenticity by displaying the weight, purity, and a unique serial number that matches the engraving on the silver bar itself. Produced by the LBMA-certified Istanbul Gold Refinery, this bullion piece features a sleek minted finish with the official IGR logo prominently displayed on the obverse. A specialized security feature is included on the assay card to prevent counterfeiting, ensuring the integrity of the precious metal. Compact and liquid, this 2.5-gram silver bar is an excellent choice for collectors and investors looking to add fractional silver from a globally recognized refinery to their portfolio.
Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated condition, securely housed within its original tamper-evident assay card. The card itself shows minor shelf wear and light scuffing on the plastic surface, but the bar remains protected from oxidation and physical damage. The serial number on the bar matches the number printed on the card, ensuring the integrity of the packaging.
Mint: Istanbul Gold Refinery (IGR).
Metal Content: 2.5g of .999 fine silver.
Historical Context: The Istanbul Gold Refinery is a globally recognized London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited refiner.
