The Golden State Mint Silver Bar is a 10 oz bar of .999 fine silver, minted by Golden State Mint (GSM), which is located in California and has been in operation since 1974. The bar is ISO 9001 Quality Assured by the International Organization for Standardization, which means that GSM's manufacturing processes are independently audited for consistency in weight, purity, and finish. Ships in a protective bag, is IRA eligible, and multiples of 10 come in bar tubes. Available at $2.30/oz above spot, this is one of the lowest premium 10 oz silver bars from a named private mint that is available for those who wish to acquire named silver but do not want to pay a collector premium.
Obverse — GSM Brand and ISO 9001
The obverse has a mirror-like surface and features the information that identifies the bar in portrait format. The Golden State Mint name and logo are at the top; the bottom includes the alternate Golden State Mint logo, and in the middle is "10 TROY OUNCES .999 FINE SILVER," which is enclosed by the ISO 9001 quality certification mark. The mirror finish helps the obverse look clean and sharp, with high contrast allowing for easy viewing of the engraved text.
Reverse — Branded Pattern
The bar has the words “GOLDEN STATE MINT” written diagonally across its surface on the other side. The pattern is repeated at an angle to the field and the reverse has a distinctive texture formed by this pattern. This is a typical GSM reverse treatment for their 1 oz, 5 oz and 10 oz minted bar offerings.
The International Standard Organization (ISO) is a Geneva-based organization that develops internationally recognized standards for manufacturing processes in various industries, ISO 9001 is one such standard. To be certified and certified to the ISO 9001 standard, a manufacturer has to document their quality management systems according to ISO 9001, undergo an independent third-party audit, and have process controls throughout the manufacturing process.ISO 9001 means for a precious metals mint that all the bars that come out of the operation are made under documented and audited controls, which include weight, purity of the precious metals and surface finish, as well as packaging. The 10 oz bar from an ISO 9001 certified mint is not only said to be .999 fine and 10 troy ounces—it is also backed by an ISO 9001 certified quality system, which is open for external review.
Not every private mint has this certification. It has been pursued and maintained by Golden State Mint and is prominently displayed on the obverse of the bar as the hallmark.
Established in 1974 in the state of California, or the “Golden State,” Golden State Mint has been a private mint for more than 50 years. GSM rounds are offered in gold, silver and copper in a variety of designs, including the popular Buffalo and Aztec Calendar designs and silver bars in 1 oz, 5 oz, and 10 oz minted formats and also in a 1 Kilo cast format. They sell their products through authorized bullion dealers all over the U.S. and are considered to be a consistent, low-premium choice for silver investors seeking named private mint bars at competitive prices. With a straightforward format, a consistent branded finish, and ISO-approved silver content, the 10 oz minted bar is one of their most straightforward options—no premium, no limited mintage, no collectibles.
