Scottsdale Mint Gold Bullion Bars from JM Bullion

Scottsdale Mint is one of the many private American mints operating in the United States. Like its competitors, the Scottsdale Mint produces a wide variety of bullion and collectible precious metals. Don’t mistake Scottsdale Mint as “just another mint” though. Its catalog of products not only includes legal tender silver bullion coins and collectible proof coins, but also a range of stunning gold bars for sale. Below, you will find more information on some of the many Scottsdale Mint gold bars available through JM Bullion.

Scottsdale-branded Gold Bullion Bars

The most popular option among gold bars listed online is the 1 oz weight. Scottsdale Mint offers investors its own branded 1 Troy oz gold bar with the company logo on one side and the combined logos of Scottsdale Mint and its production partner, Argor-Heraeus on the other side. These bars offer the latest in security features for gold bullion investors.

Each of the individual Scottsdale 1 oz Gold Bars is packaged inside of a tamper-evident Assay Card package. The mint uses encrypted barcodes and holographic design elements on the assay card to boost the security of the gold bars. There is an added layer of security courtesy of synthetic DNA. The custom holographic design elements and synthetic DNA are designed to alert you with simple visual cues if your bar’s packaging has been opened or otherwise tampered with.

The Scottsdale 1 oz Gold Bar features .9999 pure gold and distinctive designs for the obverse and reverse:

• The obverse field bears a distinctive design element that offers a nod to the cooperation between Scottsdale Mint and Argor-Heraeus in the production of the bars. At the top of the design field, you’ll find a circular logo design with the words “Scottsdale Mint – Argor-Heraeus” around the images of the American flag and the Swiss flag in the center. Additional inscriptions on this side include the bar’s weight, purity, metal content, and assayer’s mark.
• On the reverse side, there is the trademarked logo for Scottsdale Mint. The massive crowned lion’s head dominates the design field with an inscription of “Scottsdale Gold.”

Scottsdale Lunar Gold Bars

In 2017, the Scottsdale Mint joined the craze by releasing a series of Chinese Lunar Calendar gold bars. Each 1 oz gold bar contains .9999 pure gold and features a distinctive obverse design meant to depict the specific animal featured on the Zodiac for that particular calendar year. Scottsdale Mint issues the bars with a limited mintage of only 10,000 bars per design, a unique approach for a series of gold bullion bars.

Individual bars in this series are sold inside of Certi-Lock assay cards with all of the same security features included in the assay card packaging of its standard Scottsdale Mint 1 oz Gold Bars. The production of the Scottsdale Lunar Gold Bars was, again, a partnership between Argor-Heraeus and the Scottsdale Mint. The reverse side of each bar includes the same combined logo of Scottsdale and Argor-Heraeus, with identifying markers inscribed on this side that include the weight, purity, metal content, and an assayer’s mark.

The obverse side of the bars varies with each release year and combines the physical features of the animal from that year’s Zodiac with Chinese linguistic characters. Examples of designs released to date include:

• 2017 – The Year of the Rooster design, the debut release, combined Chinese characters with the added head of a rooster and a swooping tail for the beautiful design.
• 2018 – The Year of the Dog design combined various characters to take on the shape of a dog with a clearly visible head and ears.
• 2019 – The Year of the Pig release is a distinctive departure from the established design concepts. This year’s image features a circle similar to the yin-yang, with the date mark in the right half and the body of a pig depicted in the left half. The bar has floral design elements in the corners and the Chinese character for pig above the design element.
