Silver is available in different forms, but hand-poured silver bars is the preferred variety for more than a few stackers.
The silver is melted and purified at very, very high temperatures in a crucible, then poured into a mold.
Anyone can create their own bullion at home. The process is tedious and complicated, not to mention dangerous. You may try pouring if you're interested. It is not for everyone!
The Pouring Process
People have mined silver since the 17th century, but it wasn't until the 1800s that the bar-pouring process took shape. Molten silver, heated in a blazing orange-red crucible at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, is “”cooked”” until the substance is smooth and free of impurities, then poured into bar molds made of graphite or stainless steel. Graphite molds are cheaper for the manufacturer upfront, but less durable in the long run, lasting only 20-40 pours. Stainless steel molds last indefinitely and are the bar-molding choice of true professionals.
Some stackers prefer poured silver bars that are shiny. It's but natural to be attracted to mirror-like, glossy finishes. When it comes to poured silver, antique finishes are likewise desirable.
Each hand-poured bar results to a piece that’s unique, even if the bars are poured in the same mold. Each bar will differ by pour lines, shape, bubble indentations, etc.
I love these kind of silver. But I have matured in my stacking! I realize that one of these days, I have to sell my silver for gold. And I don't intend to sell any of these pieces. So, I have minimized my purchases of hand pours.
They are not easy to store. They come is different shapes... and they are quite heavy.

Indeed sis!
I was looking for the Flamingo coin, and I thought of taking these photos. Well, that's my full stack hand pours till 2020. Memories and friendships that will never be forgotten. I can't believe that all these friendships were because of stacking! Friends we never met in person!
Well, you are the closest friend of all, sis.
Hugs and kisses 🤗

Very apply put @silversaver888....
I love the uniqueness of hand poured silver, everything is one of a kind!! Unfortunately I also realize like you stated, that one day we will probably sell our silver and the unique ones will never be parted with.......😇
I'm just being practical. Most of the pieces I bought to support the NEW pourers of YouTube and Hive. I think I know which ones I will keep.. and those with sentimental value!

That is an impressive Stack, SILVER SAVER - @silversaver888. Thanks for showing & sharing.
It is just to motivate others to stack. To show that one silver at a time adds up to a lot in the end. It takes patience, as you already know, @cve3.

How are you dear friend @silversaver888 good day
This type of silver bar has always interested me, I always wanted to stack this style of silver
Beautiful collection, thanks for teaching us
have a great day
Hello my friend @jlufer! How are you doing today?
Yes, many stackers prefer hand pours, in fact some stack exclusively hand pours.
I suggest that you buy hand pours only from reputable mints, rather than form unknown pourers.
Have a wonderful day.

These poured silver bars are so nice. I think that they have a toned look, compared to ones that are made from the mint. Almost as if its organic, made pure without the addictives !
Hand-pours are very nice, indeed! I love them! Expect to pay a premium for them, hahaha.

This is just to motivate others that saving takes patience... that one silver piece at the time will mean a huge stack someday.
