A couple weeks ago I picked up this 1oz bar from Monarch Precious Metals, a hand poured, fine piece of silver for the stack.

Standard 1oz bar size comparison
1oz Hand Poured Silver Bar
This 1oz bar from Monarch Precious Metals is .999 fine silver, hand poured into a pre-mad mould, then hand stamped after cooling a little. From the pouring to the hand stamping, each bar is unique. You can see in the picture above that it is about 1/3 the surface size of the common 1oz silver bar, but 3 times as thick.
The stamped front side of the bar was stamped after cooling, featuring the crown shaped mint mark, the stamp also included the text "One Troy Ounce" along the top, MONARCH PRECIOUS METALS" to the right of.the mint mark, and "999 Fine Silver" along the bottom.
The back side of this bar is blank, other than it's characteristic hand poured imperfections.
Fun sized one ounce bar from Monarch Precious Metals, a little silver tab with some decent weight to it, a fine piece of hand poured silver for the stack.
