Afternoon everyone …
I’ve pulled a few boxes from my private security place last week. These boxes are pretty much all ten ounce bars, hence the amount of posts on ten ounce bars. The rest is hand poured The Bear pours.
Today I’m sharing a pair of Wall Street Mint bars. While I do somewhere have a vintage ten ounce bar from them. This pair is of the newer ones.
A little history on the Wall Street Mint….
Wall Street Mint Silver Bars
Wall Street Mint is known as the first major private mint to be established post 9/11 and was created with the intent of spear heading a movement of patriotism and work ethic that bonded Americans together post that tragedy in the silver industry.
Today, Wall Street Mint still offers a niche product line but that with a wider range of sizes including bars from 10 Troy ounces to Kilos, usually featuring references to Wall Street or the New York City skyline.
Wall Street Mint History and Origin
The Wall Street Mint brand is one of the most well-known names among long-term investors who buy silver bullion bars. The small company was born after the 9/11 attacks in New York City, with designs featuring various versions of the NYC skyline on their primary design since 2002. Now that modern renditions are available again to investors, it seems like people can’t get enough!
The walls of Wall Street have been witness to the world’s most important financial transactions. So it is no surprise that this icon has its own mint and a line of stamped silver bars bearing their name!
In 2002, the Wall Street Mint began producing 999 fine silver. These commemorative bars were made to celebrate one of America’s most important financial districts and its origins dating back before the existence of our country!
New Amsterdam had a long history as a trading marketplace and securities trading location with Federal Hall, the first city hall for New York. When Dutch settlers founded this community in 1624 they renamed it after their homeland “New Amsterdam” which is translated from 17th century Dutch to English meaning “New Town.” In addition to being recognized by its new name on maps at that time, one of the earliest street names was Waalstraat (meaning Wale Street). This area has been used as a trading hub since day 1!
The history of New Amsterdam is an overlooked chapter in the classic American story. Rarely do we hear about how diverse, dynamic and influential this colony was before it became a part of America’s “melting pot.” The scholarly conclusion has largely been that cultural diversity existed from day one and the mindset resembled what many Americans today are striving for as they pursue their “American Dream” – success through hard work no matter where you come from or who your parents were when you start out on life.
Wall Street Mint Today
In 2011 Wall Street Mint was acquired by Scottsdale Mint, who has carried on the torch of excellence and patriotism that Wall Street silver represents. Our Wall Street silver bars come in 10 oz and kilo size bars being either stamped or poured, and features the themes of New York, Wall Street and patriotic duty.
Every Wall Street Mint silver bar is 999 fine silver. While the obverse of each bar is usually in the form of the New York city skyline, the reverse features of each Wall Street silver bar can vary, with some having a reverse design or a blank facade from being poured.
Now for the bars….

Very cool. I was expecting a bit less abstract skyline. I like what they did. They just look like they have a little extra "heft".
You got kilo bars?
I do somewhere. I prefer ten ounce more
Why? Ease of handling? Easier to sell?
Both
