i did the same... nothing looks like the one in the OP. But there are a few dull finished bars... is that a quality people want?I don't know how genuine that bar in the picture is, but I googled "Proclaim Liberty silver bar" and lots of hits came up for silver bars. Some with a mirror finish and others with a dull finish.
From one of the google hits:
" Designed and struck in partnership with Silvertowne Mint, a premier, privately-owned minting institution based in the United States."
If you look closer it has a patterning on the surface so I struggle to see how this can be 49 fine.i did the same... nothing looks like the one in the OP. But there are a few dull finished bars... is that a quality people want?
like are some bars designed to look like a lump of lead?
Nice looking, very presentable piece of bullion.I am curious if Akragon has ever poured or is he using a small crucible with MAP gas ? I usually have to perform a wet sanding process after being poured and cooled utilizing water and high grit sand paper, then a dual tumbler with some very light abrasives for a six hours, I then polish and stamp, it is a lengthy process and I may lose of few grams but I find the results are satisfactory, I will need a hydraulic press to achieve better results when applying the stamp, I may continue with silver in the near future..
