{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Scottsdale Mint has introduced new sizes in its Gold Cast Bar series. These bars are created using traditional casting methods and include stamped details showing their weight, purity, and metal content. One of the newest options is the 5 oz bar, available in addition to 1 oz, 10 oz, and 20 oz sizes. You can now find 5 oz Gold Cast Bars from Scottsdale Mint available for purchase at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
These 5 oz Gold Cast Bars are packaged in protective plastic for safe shipping. This mid-size option offers a balance between higher gold content and affordability. Like other bars in the Scottsdale Mint cast line, they feature simple markings and a natural surface finish.
Design
On the obverse of the 5 oz Gold Cast Bar, you will see the identifying hallmarks arranged vertically. At the top is the crowned Scottsdale Lion emblem, with inscriptions below that indicate the weight, purity, and metal content of the bar. The reverse is left smooth without design. The inscriptions on the obverse include SCOTTSDALE MINT, 5 TROY OZ, 9999, and FINE GOLD.
History
Cast bars are known for having a matte or semi-matte finish rather than the shiny, reflective surfaces seen on minted ingots. The color of the gold usually appears as a rich golden tone, sometimes looking darker than more polished bars. Tool marks and light lines from the mold process are common, which adds to the handmade quality that appeals to many buyers.
