{{/presale}}Minted ingots are a popular choice among investors buying silver as a store of wealth. Compared to cast silver bars, minted ingots have a uniform shape each time and a refined finish that eliminates more of the natural imperfections present in the finish of cast silver bars. Argor-Heraeus has a robust selection of minted silver ingots in its Classic Series of bars. Provident Metals currently offers 1 oz Silver Bars from the Argor-Heraeus Classic Series for you to purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase a 1 oz Silver Bar from Argor-Heraeus in this Provident Metals listing, you will receive a silver bar that is individually packaged in a protective blistercard. Whether you buy one bar or multiple, each one comes in its own blistercard. Multiples of the bars are available together in boxes of 200 bars. The blistercard includes assay details on the reverse that verifies the weight, metal content, and purity of each specimen.
Obverse
The obverse side of 1 oz Silver Bars from Argor-Heraeus comes with the mint logo at the top and other identifying hallmarks on the design field. The logo at the top features a stylized AH at the center, with ARGOR-HERAEUS SA inscribed in a ring around it. Beneath this are the inscriptions of SWITZERLAND, 1 OUNCE, FINE SILVER, and 999.0. The bottom of the design field includes an assayers stamp.
Reverse
On the reverse face of the 1 oz Silver Bar, Argor-Heraeus stamps its mint logo in a repeating pattern. The same logo found at the top of the obverse features on this side at a 45-degree angle repeating in lines across the field.
