In the heart of the 19th century, assay offices were set up in New York City and San Francisco to assess the quality of large quantities of gold and silver bullion from the American West. Zoom into the 20th century, and one of their final acts was refining silver bars dumped into the market in 1980 and 1981. Now, you can find 100 oz US Assay Office Struck Silver Bars online at BullionMax.

• Stamped identifiers on the obverse of the bar.

During the California Gold Rush of the late 1840s and early 1850s, there was a massive influx of gold into the financial markets. At the same time, the San Francisco office quickly became one of the most important assay offices in the United States due to its proximity to the goldfields and the volume of precious metals passing through the region.

The 100 oz US Assay Office Struck Silver Bar available here comes with protective plastic for safe shipping. This bar boasts 100 Troy ounces of silver content, at least .999 pure, in a striking format. It contains silver previously stored at either the New York or San Francisco Assay office, both of which are named on the bar to indicate their potential origin.

On the obverse side of US Assay Office Struck Silver Bars, you’ll discover hallmark identifiers arranged in landscape orientation, showcasing stamped markings of weight, purity, and metal content. The names of both assay offices are prominently featured here.

Please be aware that older bars like these may exhibit signs of aging such as toning, a natural result of the oxidation process that doesn’t diminish the value of the silver in the bar.
