When it comes to investing in precious metals, silver ars offer a unique value that gold and other metals do not provide. Silver is more affordable to begin with than gold, but the value of silver comes from the production of different bars.
Two ounce Silver Bars are produced in two different ways. Minted ingots come with higher premiums over the spot price of silver, while 2 oz cast silver bars are among the most affordable options on the market today. A minted ingot starts out as a cast silver bar and is fed through a stamping machine to create a precisely refined bar with a highly defined design.
Cast silver bars are produced using simple processing methods that keep the price lower and give the bars an antique appearance. Most processors pour molten silver into preset casts that shape the bar and determine its metal content based upon the weight. They are then dropped into water to cool or left to cool in the air.
There are 2 oz Silver Bars available from JM Bullion today that come from various mints. Examples of mints that strike 2 oz Silver Bars include the Atlantis Mint and Monarch Precious Metals. These two mints are private minting facilities in the United States, both of which focus on the production of hand-poured silver bars with a minimum purity of .999 fineness.
