If you purchase one of the 1 oz Silver American Flag Bars in this product listing, each one is available to you in brand-new condition. The bars are packaged individually inside of sealed plastic pouches, while multiples of 12 bars are housed together in a sealed plastic sheet. These bars have a beautiful contrast between alternating frosted and mirrored fields. The would-be red stripes of the flag have a polished field, as does the field behind the stars that is traditionally blue. Conversely, the would-be white stripes and the 50 stars have a mirrored finish.

Obverse

For the obverse face of the 1 oz Silver American Flag Bar is a design replicating the 27^th iteration of the American flag. Known as the Star-Spangled Banner, Old Glory, or Stars and Stripes, the American flag offers 13 stripes alternating between red and white to honor the 13 American colonies that broke away from Great Britain to form the United States of America. The modern flag has the same square field of blue in the upper left with 50 white stars, one for each of the 50 US states. This version of the flag was ordered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on August 21, 1959, and later adopted in July 1960. It is the longest-used version of the American flag.

Reverse

In the reverse design field, the 1 oz Silver American Flag Bar has the Sunshine Minting Inc. logo and name on the bar. The weight, purity, and metal content are also featured here. These 1 oz Silver American Flag Bars have a unique shape that replicates the appearance of the flag flapping in the breeze. Please note, however, that the bars do lie flat when placed on a flat surface despite the flapping design.

History

The first official American flag, as most Americans have known it, had the alternating red-and-white stripes with a blue field that featured a set of 13 white stars arranged in a circle on the blue field. However, the Continental Congress would not adopt an official flag early in the Revolution. As such, the Continental Navy was responsible for flying a flag that was technically the first American flag. It had the 13 red-and-white stripes, but used the Union Jack in a square field in the upper left.
