Silver 1ozT blanks?

[TonyS]

Where can I buy five or ten 1ozT silver blanks in the UK?

I can get them from America if I buy 100oz, my wallet isn’t that deep.

It’s just something that’s been sat in the back of my mind for a while and I want to do it.

Curious : What will you do with them?

Try Cookson, but expect to pay premiums

Maybe have someone pour some blanks? Just a thought 👍

They are something I’d like to have.

If for nothing else to see what a coin is like before minting.

Local jeweller may help you with melting silver for you and turning them into blanks!? Alternatively, try giving a few jewellery casting companies a call. If you explain to them what you need they may create the blank bar mould for you and pour the silver too. Obviously the diy route would be cheaper if you are able to do it.

I doubt that cast discs of silver would give you an idea what blanks would look like. I believe they are usually produced by rolling into sheets of silver and stamped out into discs.

Here are some pictures to hold you for a bit. Sunshine Minting makes blanks for various mints, including the US Mint. The top banner image is scrollable – look for the side arrows. You'll see up close shots of the blanks if you scroll sideways.

Here are some discs for sale at Rio Grande, a major American jewelry supplier. Don't know if they ship across the pond. Your best bet will be to find their opposite numbers in the UK – jewelry supply outfits. They sell silver in various pre-production forms, including blanks/discs, shot/grain, wire, rod, sheet, etc.

It's sorted. Thank you to all.

Thank you SilverStan

I think these actually look quite cool just as blanks.👍
