Prospectors 1 Troy Oz .999 Silver Bar $240
This Prospectors Gold & Gems 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Bar is a premium collectible bullion piece featuring a distinctive hand-poured aesthetic. Unlike standard minted bars, this specimen showcases a rustic, matte finish with slightly rounded edges and unique cooling ripples, giving it an authentic "old world" feel. The face of the bar is deeply stamped with the weight of 1 Troy Oz and its .999 purity, alongside the Prospectors logo which depicts a crossed pickaxe and shovel. This particular bar is highly sought after by stackers and numismatists alike for its artisanal quality and the reputation of the private mint. It comes packaged in a protective plastic sleeve and includes a serialized inventory sticker labeled 0146, ensuring it is a unique addition to any precious metals portfolio or collection.
Condition: This 1 Troy Oz silver bar appears to be in circulated or "as-cast" condition, featuring a matte, frosted finish characteristic of hand-poured bullion. There are minor surface marks and imperfections consistent with the pouring process and handling. The Mint is Prospector’s Gold & Gems, a well-known private refinery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Metal Content is .999 fine silver, as explicitly stamped on the face of the bar. Historically, Prospector’s Gold & Gems is recognized for producing small-batch, hand-poured bars that appeal to collectors who prefer a rustic, "old-world" aesthetic over modern machine-pressed bullion. The Strike Type is a hand-poured bar with incuse stamped lettering and logos. The bar is ungraded and is considered raw bullion, typically valued for its silver weight and the specific brand premium associated with the refiner.
