Poured Silver Bars

For centuries, investing in silver has remained a valuable endeavor. Many investors look to silver coins or silver rounds when deciding which products to purchase, but poured silver provides another multitude of options–from bar-shaped items to speciality pieces like lion heads and skulls.

Adding poured silver to your silver bullion portfolio is another way to diversify your investment. These pieces also stand apart from traditional precious metal investments, creating ample opportunity for gifting and striking up conversations with guests. Though poured silver does not carry legal tender value like sovereign minted silver coins, these pieces do carry the value of the silver content itself.

What is a Poured Silver Bar?

These pieces are made by artisans who hand-pour molten silver into a mold. The cumbersome process produces unique bars that may have slight variations in shape and texture, giving you the opportunity to own a special piece. No two bars are ever exactly the same. However, mints do take measures to ensure that weight and purity remain consistent. The poured silver bars sold at Provident all contain investment grade .999 fine silver, and were created at the most reputable mints in the industry.

Hand pouring silver gives the final pieces a rustic beauty. In addition, there is almost an unlimited number of possible shapes, designs, and sizes these pieces can assume. Essentially, poured silver pieces are not limited to the well-known shape of rounds and bars. The large selection of poured silver is bound to appeal to people with a variety of interests.
