Top 6 Scottsdale Mint Bars and Coins

The Scottsdale Mint has been in operation since 2008. As its name suggests, it is in Scottsdale, AZ. The mint is highly respected in the industry. It makes coins and bars for investors, and it has contracts with several governments to produce legal tender coins. 

The mint makes gold, silver, and, occasionally, platinum products. It is perhaps best known for its investment-grade silver bars and sovereign silver coins. Because the mint meets purity and weight standards and has a range of one-of-a-kind coin designs, it is an attractive option for both collectors seeking unique coins and precious metals investors. 

Best Silver Products from the Scottsdale Mint

Sprott Money offers its customers access to a diverse collection of bars and coins from the Scottsdale Mint. These range from 100 oz bars to 1 oz silver coins. Here are the best products from this respected Arizona mint available in Canada. 

10 oz Scottsdale Stacker Silver Bar

This 10 oz silver bar features the Scottsdale Mint logo, a lion with a flowing mane wearing a crown. It is designed to be stackable due to its raised design, lowered edges, and sunken back surface. The back of the bar has a unique swirl pattern and serial number, while the front has the logo, weight and purity details, and the saying "In God we trust," which is the motto of the United States. 

The 10 troy oz product is ideal for investors who want to buy precious metal bars at a reasonable price point and grow their portfolio.

1 Kilo Scottsdale Stacker Silver Bar

This .999 pure silver bar offers investors a chance to add to their portfolio. Like the 10 oz version, this 1 kg (32.15 troy oz) bar features the mint's logo and the unique swirl design. It's also stackable, so it's easy to add to a portfolio over time. 

The identifying marks make it easy to prove authenticity. Also, because they meet investment-grade standards, these bars are eligible for some retirement accounts. 

100 oz Scottsdale Stacker Silver Bar

This 100 troy oz bar provides a unique investment opportunity. It's one of the larger silver bars investors can buy. The size makes it perfect for a buy-and-hold strategy for those who want to invest in large amounts of silver.

Storage might be challenging for 100 oz bars. Third-party vaults, like those offered by Sprott Money, can handle storage in a secure vault, making owning large bars more convenient and secure. 

2022 1 oz Gibraltar War Elephant Silver Coin

This silver coin is legal tender in the territory of Gibraltar. The 1 troy oz coin features a war elephant with riders. The rocks of Gibraltar are in the background. The other side has Gibraltar's coat of arms and purity and weight information. It says the currency value: 1 pound.

This coin is highly collectible. The supply is limited because only 15,000 were minted. The attractive design and association with the tiny British territory of Gibraltar makes this one of the more unique coins on the market. 

2022 1 oz Ghana Alien Silver Coin

This collectible coin has a limited supply of 25,000. It has one of the more whimsical designs you'll find on a coin: an alien looking directly at the viewer with a stargate in the background. The reverse side of the coin has a traditional image of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by futuristic bubbles and shapes reminiscent of a starship control panel. 

The coin was made for the Republic of Ghana, where it is worth $5 Ghanaian Cedis. 

2022 1 oz EC8 Silver Anguilla Eel Coin

This coin, with a very unusual design, celebrates the Caribbean island of Anguilla. The coin features two eels swimming in water with an outline of the island of Anguilla in the background. The reverse side has an image of Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination two dollars, and the commissioning organization — the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank.

The unusual design and the fact that only 25,000 coins were minted make this a popular option for coin collectors.  

Why Choose Silver Coins?

Silver coins are excellent stores of value. Like gold, silver retains its value during economic crises and periods of high inflation. It is also less costly than gold, making it a good option for adding to a portfolio incrementally or starting a precious metals collection. 

The benefits of silver as an investment are only available for coins and bars that meet the highest standards. Investors need to make sure they are working with reputable dealers, like Sprott Money, and getting coins from reputable sources like the Scottsdale Mint.

How to Find the Right Silver Products

Silver products need to meet purity and weight standards. Only coins and bars that have these qualities are investment grade. 

Here's what investors need to look for: 

• Purity: Silver must be at least 99.9% pure (also written a .999 purity). Some ultra-pure grades are 99.99% pure (.9999 fine silver). 
• Weight: Silver should be measured in troy ounces. A troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, so it weighs more than a standard ounce. 
• Origin: The silver should come from a recognized mint and have a certificate of authenticity, serial number, or other identifying markings. 

As a respected private mint, the Scottsdale Mint provides investment-grade silver products. All the coins and bars meet purity and weight standards. Unlike many private mints, Scottsdale's coins are considered legal tender in the countries that contract it to produce coins.
