USA Flag Silver Ingot Art Bar $240 0107

USA Flag Silver Ingot Art Bar $240 0107 This USA Flag Silver Ingot Art Bar features a vertical representation of the American flag, meticulously struck in fine silver. The obverse showcases a textured design with fifty raised stars in the canton and thirteen alternating raised and recessed stripes, creating a striking three-dimensional effect. This particular ingot is preserved in its original clear protective plastic mint seal, which has helped maintain its brilliant luster and sharp details while preventing significant oxidation. Labeled with the inventory number 0107, this collectible art bar serves as both a patriotic display piece and a tangible investment in precious metals. Silver art bars of this variety are highly sought after by numismatists and stackers alike for their combination of artistic merit, historical symbolism, and bullion value. This piece is priced at $240, reflecting its status as a vintage or specialty minted silver collectible. Condition: The silver ingot appears to be in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) or Choice Uncirculated condition, still housed in its original clear plastic heat-sealed mint film. There is minor evidence of natural toning or "milk spotting" visible near the edges and on some of the vertical stripes, which is common for older silver bullion stored in soft PVC or plastic flips. The strike remains sharp with no significant abrasions or contact marks visible through the packaging. Mint: While this specific bar does not display a prominent mint mark on the obverse, the design is characteristic of private mints such as SilverTowne or the Madison Mint, which frequently produced patriotic-themed art bars. Metal Content: This is a 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver ingot. The purity and weight specifications are standard for this type of silver art bar. Historical Context: Silver art bars became highly collectible in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s as a way for investors to hold physical silver with aesthetic appeal. Patriotic designs featuring the American flag are among the most enduring and common motifs produced by private domestic mints to appeal to American collectors. Strike Type: The bar features a high-relief satin or matte strike. The design is pressed with vertical recessed lines representing the stripes and raised relief for the stars. Grading: The item is ungraded (raw) by third-party services. Based on visual inspection, it would likely grade in the MS-65 to MS-67 range if submitted, though bullion of this type is rarely professionally graded unless it is a rare vintage variety. silver, bullion, bar, American flag, stars and stripes, patriotic, precious metal, investment, silver bar, rectangular, numismatic, collectible, bullion bar, silver bullion silver bullion, silver bar, american flag silver, .999 fine silver, precious metals, silver investment, silver stacker, american flag bar, bullion collectibles, silver numismatics Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions -BIDDER/BUYER To determine the items' Condition, Completeness, Authenticity, and Grade. - Fulfillment of contract of bid, understands there are no refunds or chargebacks, items are “As Is” The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Party Grading is that of the 3rd party and not done by us -Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Gold-Gilded, Gold layered or Silver Plated, Electric Plating, -The Metal Content or purity is not guaranteed, tested, or verified.
