5 oz U.S. Assay Office Silver Bar .999 Fine   The 5 oz U.S. Assay Office Silver Bar .999 Fine is a remarkable piece of history, offering collectors and investors a unique opportunity to own silver sourced from the U.S. government’s Strategic Stockpile. Struck from .999 fine silver, these bars were originally part of the 165 million ounces of silver held by the Defense Logistics Agency in the late 1960s. In 1980 and 1981, the U.S. government released this silver into the open market to stabilize prices following the Hunt brothers’ attempt to corner the silver market. Today, these bars serve as both a historical relic and an excellent investment in fine silver. Each bar features classic American symbolism with an obverse design that includes an American flag and an eagle, alongside the weight and purity. The reverse bears the inscriptions “Minted From U.S. Strategic Stockpile Silver” and “Formerly Stored at U.S. Assay Office in San Francisco” or (“New York”) depending on the bar’s origin.  Bar Features: Made from .999 fine silver, weight of 5 troy ounces Secondary Market Condition Obverse: Features the American flag and an eagle, along with the bar's weight and purity Reverse: Includes the inscription “Minted From U.S. Strategic Stockpile Silver” and “Formerly Stored at U.S. Assay Office in San Francisco" or ("New York") Own a piece of American history with the 5 oz U.S. Assay Office Silver Bar.
