The 10 oz. Highland Mint Buffalo Silver Bar is one of the most eye-catching 10 oz. denomination silver bars in circulation. Unlike the typical design of most silver bars of this weight, the Highland Mint Buffalo bar completely covers the surface of the bar with a landscape scene of an American bison in its natural habitat of the Great Plains, which is in a style never seen on a typical investment-grade bar of this size.
Each bar is 100-percent full 10 troy ounces of .999 fine silver produced by Highland mint, the private mint in the early 80's with a 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Melbourne, Florida, and is stamped with the recognized hallmark "HM" at the right rim so it can be immediately recognized as authentic. Sealed in a new protective plastic sleeve, the bar is sent from the mint with no circulation.
BOLD Precious Metals is an authorized dealer of Highland Mint products. All these bars are direct sources and authentic.
What distinguishes the Highland Mint Buffalo bar from almost every other 10 oz. silver bar available is its obverse design. The design, which covers the full width of the horizontal space, is a landscape scene with a high level of detail, rather than a simple logo or a reproduction of a coin portrait.
The animal's scale is suggested by its massive and proportionate right-face view of an American bison. The bison is depicted in its natural habitat, nestled in a field of grass and with rolling hills rising behind it, the horizon line stretching out in the background. Individual bison hairs and the individual grass blades in the foreground show fine detail, as do the topographic reliefs of the background plains. The “HM” mint mark is stamped on the right rim, making this a true product of the Highland Mint. The depth of the artwork combined with the level of detail in the authentication makes the bar a very attractive bar for collectors who enjoy good design and also for investors who require a bar with the mint authentication for resale on the secondary market.
The reverse features a repeating diagonal design through the field of the bar with the necessary identification inscriptions well impressed: 10 OUNCE .999 PURE SILVER. This diagonal textured background is not just aesthetically pleasing; it also helps in anti-counterfeiting: the formation of the background in a precise and uniform pattern is hard to replicate in counterfeit quality.
The Highland Mint opened its doors in the early 1980s and has since evolved into a full-service refinery and minting operation that has the capabilities to produce custom items from precious and non-precious metals (commonly silver, gold and bronze). Highland Mint is a complete service layout, design, casting and packaging mint. They have a state-of-the-art, 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Melbourne, Florida.
Along with rounds and bars, Highland Mint also has custom cards and memorabilia, which is why it has the official license of the four major sports leagues in North America: the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL. This dual identity—both precious metals precision manufacturing and high-profile licensed sports collectibles—reflects the breadth and skill of the facility.
The "HM" mark found on all Highland Mint silver bars and rounds is one of the most widely used hallmarks on a private mint in the U.S. secondary market. It is immediately known by dealers, buyback shops, and coin shops all over the country, making it easier and faster to deal or trade when the time comes. Unlike any unknown brand or generic bars, the Highland mint products do not need to undergo any extra scrutiny by the precious metals dealers who have established themselves.
Made from .999 fine silver, each bar is finished in both a matte and a mirrored surface and is shipped in a brand new state in a separate plastic sleeve.
The bison on this bar is not only decorative; it has been a part of American history for centuries.
At one time, the American bison (Bison bison) was the most abundant large terrestrial animal in North America. Few estimates have been made, but prior to European settlement anywhere from 30 to 60 million bison were roaming the continent, and the ecology and economy of life for dozens of Indigenous nations in the Great Plains depended upon them. The Lakota, Comanche, Cheyenne, Crow and many other tribes were relying on the bison for their food, clothing, tools, shelter and spiritual practice. It was not just a resource but the core of a way of life for the animal.
In the late 19th century, industrialized bison hunting had reduced the bison population to less than 1,000—one of the greatest wildlife population declines in history. The species has been recovered, starting in the early 20th century, and is now found in about 500,000 individuals within managed herds in the United States and Canada—it's a conservation success story, albeit wild free-ranging herds are only a small portion of their historic range.
It was the bison's long history as a symbol of American strength, resilience, freedom and the character of the American West that made it a favorite design subject for U.S. private-mint bullion coins today, and in 1913, the design for the Buffalo Nickel's reverse was chosen by James Earle Fraser. The bison is depicted on the Highland Mint Buffalo bar in a setting that takes into account this full ecological and historical context and not just a coin portrait.
The 10 oz format is strategically valuable for several reasons. There are several reasons why the 10 oz format is strategically valuable.
Placing yourself in the middle ground of silver bar sizes is the 10 troy ounce denomination, and knowing its particular benefits will help you make the best decision when buying silver.
Most of the time, the manufacturing costs of silver bars will be lower than the manufacturing costs of coins or rounds with the same weight, as bar production costs are simpler. Larger formats are less premium per ounce than smaller formats in bars. A 10 oz bar comes with the same shipping, handling and packaging as a 1 oz bar and contains 10 times the silver content—resulting in significant per-ounce savings over purchasing 10 individual 1 oz bars.
100 oz silver bars, however, have a high initial investment and aren't very convenient to part with. The 10 oz size enables investors to buy enough silver to build a significant position but still permits selling out individual 10 oz silver bars as needed instead of selling a large quantity at any given time.
The Highland Mint Buffalo 10 oz bar is a .999 fine silver bar to meet the minimum purity requirement set forth by the IRS for a Self-Directed Precious Metals IRA. It is issued by a private mint in the United States that has a hallmark and quality standards and is accepted by most qualifying IRA custodians. Please check with your custodian for details about any particular bar acceptance before buying for IRA purposes.
