{{/presale}}When it comes to buying silver online, there are a lot of options available to you out there. The modern precious metals market includes silver bars, silver coins, and silver rounds. However, as you investigate each of these product lineups, you will find that there are different weights available that make it easier to afford the metals in question. Provident Metals currently offers 1/4 oz Silver Bars to you for online purchasing.
Highlights:
When you purchase a 1/4 oz Silver Bar in this listing from Provident Metals, you will most likely receive your product inside of a protective plastic bag or a flip. If the bar is in brand-new condition and/or the original mint packaging is available, you will receive the product in that packaging. This is a varied condition, any mint listing at Provident Metals.
All items are chosen at random in a varied condition listing. Once your payment has been processed, we will pick your products for packaging. We cannot guarantee the specific condition of the bar you receive or the design of the bar. If you purchase more than one item, please note that you could receive several bars that have the same designs, originate from the same mint, and arrive in the same condition.
Designs
On the obverse and reverse fields of these 1/4 oz Silver Bars, you will find a variety of design elements. While we cannot guarantee the design elements you find on the bars you receive, it is likely that many will feature a design element that depicts the mint logo and comes with inscriptions of the weight, purity, and metal content. Some bars may have more intricate logos, however, it is impossible for us to guarantee that factor.
History
Silver bars are primarily produced in one of three formats. Cast silver bars are simply melted silver that is poured into casts to cool. Hand-poured silver bars are similar, but the pouring process is controlled by hand. Minted ingots start out as cast silver bars that are then fed into stamping presses where computer-controlled stamping presses stamp out the bar shape and engrave designs.
