Phoenix Precious Metals

PPM out of Arizona has become one of the more popular and commonly collected vintage pieces. They came in 1, 5 and 10 oz mainly, although a few larger bars have come up from time to time. These used to be so easy to find, but with the growth of the collector market, people are starting to accumulate and hold so you don’t see as many come up as several years back. There are also different variety and stamping patterns for many ppm bars. I’ll be showcasing the smaller bars in some upcoming posts on silver smalls. Here are my PPM bars.

Top two are second gen 10 and 5 oz respectively. Bottom 2 are first gen 5 oz class. Note the differences. The first gens are really nice looking bars. I love the 4.96 oz. My favorite.
Note the top two appear to have a brushed finish on reverse versus the bottom two pour character.
