"This
year the price of silver has gone up significantly,

silver collectible will increase in 2004 and in future
years."
The
Silver Nevada Miner bar was created to commemorate the
long and eventful silver mining history of Nevada and

State." The bars are 2 3/8 inches by 1 3/8 inches
and are 1/4 inch thick. Each contains exactly 5 ounces
of pure silver. The bars are "proof quality"

The
top surface of the bar is engraved with an authentic
reproduction of a miner in one of the famous "square-set"
stopes of the Comstock Silver Mines at Virginia City,
Nevada, in the mid-1860's. The bars are beautifully
crafted making them an excellent gift item.
