Art Bars
The U.S ceased minting silver coins in 1964, due to the rising cost of raw silver. This led to accelerated hoarding and melting of the silver coinage in circulation, and left citizens with no ready way to collect silver as an inflation hedge.
Private companies entered the market by making collectible bullion bars and silver art bars.
Other factors to consider with art bars and name-brand bars is their higher production cost, which is why these products typically have higher premiums (i.e. spread over the spot market) than plain bullion bars and rounds.
Silver art bars are manufactured one of two ways: either pressed (minted) or hand-poured. Some hand-poured silver bars come in impressive and interesting shapes, especially when compared to silver coins and generic silver rounds.
Led by the Foster Company in 1969, many private mints began marketing collectible silver art bars, art rounds, and medals depicting every conceivable subject to the public. Many of these precious metal collectibles went into the melting pot when silver prices spiked in 1979, leaving a limited number for present day collectors.
