10 oz Silver Bars Overview
10 oz silver bullion bars are a very popular item because of their unique size and many options. We carry several different bars from the most popular manufacturers. Here are a few examples:
The Sunshine Mint has been creating unique designs since they began creating silver bullion bars in 1979. The popular ‘Silver Eagle’ design includes the name of the mint along with the .999 fine silver purity stamp as well as its ten troy ounce weight stamp. Though the bar is called the ‘Silver Eagle,’ it should not be confused with the Silver Eagle coins produced by the U.S. Mint.
The Republic Metals Corporation 10 oz bars boast the RMC logo and is stamped with the weight and .999 fine silver purity. Each bar also has a rounded border that adds to the bar's appeal. The reverse side of each bar has a repeating design that complements the bar as a whole.
The Silver Buffalo Silver Bar is produced in the IRA certified SilverTowne Mint, and was inspired by the traditional US minted Silver Buffalo coin. The obverse of this bar features the profile of a Native American as well as the inscriptions “LIBERTY”, “.999 FINE SILVER” and "TEN TROY OUNCES".
The North Texas Refinery 10 oz bar features the NTR Metals logo at the top, its purity (.999) and metal type (Silver). The back of the bar is stamped with "NTR Metals” and the NTR logo in a vertical pattern.
