Vintage Artbars
The following
table displays the different categories of vintage silver artbars
that are available on our website. By vintage, we mean silver
artbars that pre-date the big silver melt of the early eighties
when millions of these were melted for their silver value (almost
$50 each). Since mintages were often low in the first place,
many of these old artbars are extremely rare today. Most of the
bars are identified using the classification system developed
by J. Archie Kidd and Steven M. Rood in their book "An Indexed
Guide Book of Silver Art Bars" (Fifth Edition) published
in 1991. We also offer a selection of more modern silver artbars
within the named category. All bars are one troy ounce .999 fine
silver unless otherwise noted. All bars are in mint or near mint
condition unless otherwise noted*.
* In some cases,
the description incudes (Mishandled), which means that the bar has
been improperly cleaned, polished or shows obvious contact marks.
The value of these
silver bars is directly related to the current value of silver. Due to occasional extreme volatility in
the silver market, River City Coins reserves the right to limit
the quantity of these artbars that may be ordered or to reject
and refund any order at our discretion.
In most cases,
you are buying the item pictured and it may be the only one of
those bars in stock, so please don't order more than one of each
.

Shipping &
handling charges are added on at checkout and are based on the
total amount of your order from our site (see chart below).
