Journey into Silver's Past: A Resource for Collectors of Old Silver Bars
United States Silver Corporation
US Silver Corp is well known for their art bars and vintage silver rounds from the early to mid 70s era, but they also did some poured vintage bars. Very collectible and most often found in 5 and 10 oz class, but did make larger poured bars in 25, 50 and 100 oz class. Here are a few from my collection.
The toning on the 10 oz is fantastic. You can see the horizontal lines going across the surface of both pieces. This is a unique characteristic of these pours. Curious how they did this.Reverse pic.

These USSC Silver Bars, also in One Ounce Size came from Van Nuys, California. They are not from Wallace Idaho or from Pennsylvania as has been stated. This same One Ounce bar I own was posted by Callahan’s Antiquities in Pennsylvania and posted on Worthpoint from a sale by Callahan’s on Ebay Feb 11, 2021.
A Platinum One Ounce Pressed Bar Posted on ‘Vintage Poured Bars’, April 10 2024 for sale, states the same Company Name as the small One Ounce Bar I have and the Two Bars you have posted here on VPB. The Platinum Bar states: Produced for and Marketed by United States Silver Corp. Van Nuys , California. This Bar is counter stamped on the other side by Engelhard. Hopefully this clears up the provenance for these Bars
