Westminster Mint Silver Bars

How they are made
 
Westminster Mint offers a wide selection of the most popular silver bullion items including government issue, brand-name products and our own line of privately minted silver bars bearing the Westminster Mint logo. Westminster Mint bars are consistently amongst our best selling bullion items. All of the bullion products  we offer are internationally recognized. Our privately minted Westminster Mint silver bars begin as silver grain bought directly from a refinery or as COMEX deliverable 1,000 ounce bars. The silver grain is delivered to us in sealed buckets. Each bucket is accompanied by an assay certificate attesting to its purity. The silver we receive is .999 pure or better. The industrial silver bars we buy are also sent directly from refiners and each bar is hallmarked stamped with its weight and purity.

We melt silver grain in batches of ten thousand-ounces at temperatures in excess of 1600 degrees where it turns into liquid. The silver is then poured into billet molds which hold eight-hundred ounces and then is extruded into strips. The strips are rolled to the precise thickness of the silver bars being struck. Each blank bar  is individually weighed and cleaned before it is struck into a finished bar. Each silver bar is individually hallmark stamped with its exact weight and purity. Westminster Mint bars are then sealed in a clear plastic protective wrap.
