APMEX silver bars are not the crude, obviously poured bars of the early and middle twentieth century, such as some of the highly unappealing products offered by Johnson Matthey during that period. Instead, they are thoroughly contemporary creations, “struck” to the same level of quality as many government-issued bullion coins, albeit in a different configuration.
APMEX silver bars are made of .999 fine silver (that is, 99.9% pure silver, with the remaining trace being the inevitable copper). They are beautifully sculpted and decorated, featuring a rectangular form with rounded corners and given a “deep mirror” finish that is intended to replicate the surface of a proof coin, which are generally made with a similar mirror finish to differentiate them from ordinary bullion coins. This helps to make the bars singularly attractive.
