Sunshine Minting 10 oz Silver Bar

Sunshine Silver Bars are manufactured by Sunshine Minting, Inc, an established and respected bullion bar manufacturer. Sunshine Minting, also known as SMI, is based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. Sunshine Minting also produces blanks and mint products for other organizations such as financial institutions and is renowned for producing silver "blanks" for the famous United States Mint for the production of American Silver Eagles.

Sunshine Minting was created in 1993 out of the original Sunshine Mining company, which has since gone out of business. Sunshine Mining was incorporated on November 6th, 1906 in Idaho, USA, from a consolidation of various mine holdings, including the Sunshine Mine. The Sunshine Mine had its beginnings in 1884 and was one of the world's biggest silver mines.

The Sunshine Precious Metals Refinery was established in 1980 and continues to refine silver at purities even up to 999.99 fine.

Sunshine mint pressed silver bullion bars are made in the typical oblong shape that is common to silver and gold bullion bars. The Sunshine bars feature a circular logo of an "American Eagle" flying in front of a radiant sun. The modern bars have the words "Silver Eagle" within the circle.
