The legend of the Pony Express, the frontier express mail service that passed into the legends of the American West despite having operated for just eighteen months between 1860 and 1861. The intrepid riders of the Express were revered for their breakneck rides between stations, and their true historical legacy was providing a proof of concept for a year-round coast-to-coast communications system: they paved the way for the first transcontinental telegraph system. Their legacy is commemorated by a new series of cast silver bars that includes the 10 oz SilverTowne Pony Silver Bar, available for online purchase from BullionMax.

Bar Highlights:

• Ships in a clear plastic sleeve!
• Issued by the SilverTowne Mint!
• Contains 10 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
• Obverse features a rider of the Pony Express.
• Reverse shows a blank field.

The SilverTowne Pony Silver Bar ships in a protective plastic sleeve and features an incuse-struck design elements and hallmarks. It’s part of a silver bar series launched by SilverTowne, one of America’s leading private mints, in 2021.

SilverTowne is known for producing silver collectibles with patriotic subject matter. Starting as a small coin and antique shop in 1949, it grew across decades into a large and respected mint that offers a vast range of coppers and silver rounds, ingots, and other products. The new Pony Express silver bar collection is a popular addition to that bullion range, celebrating a high-profile entry in the lore of the American West.

The obverse face features a rider of the Pony Express along with the SilverTowne mint mark and inscriptions of the weight, metal content, and purity. The mint has left the bar’s reverse side as a blank field, and may show textures, lines, and striations produced by the casting process.
