From the 1970s until 2015, Johnson Matthey was a prominent name in the precious metals industry. After the brand was acquired by Asahi Refining, Johnson Matthey stopped producing gold and silver bars. CNT Precious Metals is now reviving the brand with new silver bars. Right now, 10 oz Silver Poured Bars are available from Provident Metals.

Designs

History

To produce cast-poured silver bars, manufacturers enclose silver shot or ingots in molds. Heat, frequently from induction technology, is applied to melt the silver. After cooling, the bars are removed and completed. An alternative method involves injecting liquid silver into molds via small openings. Cast bars generally exhibit flatter, more consistent surfaces compared to the textured variations seen in hand-poured bars.
