SilverTowne Pony 5oz .999 Silver Cast Bar

SilverTowne Pony Express 5 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Cast Bar Due to the process of each and every bar being cast and hand stamped, each bar will have some of its own unique characteristics - especially on the back side. Cast Pure Silver Bars 5oz Size These cast silver bars feature a depiction of a rider on horseback from the Pony Express along with the weight and purity designation of "5oz FINE SILVER 999" as well as the SilverTowne Mint mint-mark in the bottom left. The reverse is blank and has random cooling marks from the cast mold. Cast bars have gained popularity for their raw esthetic appearance - our customers love the look. Producing this style of silver bars takes a bit more time than machine stamped bullion but less time than hand-poured bullion. To begin the process of making a kilo cast silver bar, 5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver shot (small pebbles of silver bullion) is inserted into an appropriated sized cast mold that is ran through a flameless tunnel to heat the silver shot up and essentially melt it into the cast bar shape. Once each bar makes it through the flameless tunnel process a SilverTowne Craftsman must remove it from the mold and hand stamp the Pony Express image, the SilverTowne mintmark, and the weight and purity designations into each bar.  The silver itself cools with different waves/lines on the front and the back will often have bubble-looking marks and lines from being handled and cooled. This process makes each and every cast bar unique for you!
