Description
Cast silver bars are characterized by having a more natural raw metal appearance and distinct details unique to each bar. Despite the rustic appearance, the metal content and purity of the bar remain the same and do not impact the metal value in any way. Manufacturing cast silver bars involves pouring molten silver into a pre-made mold. They are typically stamped with inscriptions or designs on at least one of the faces after it has cooled down.
