The person who poured this silver piece, which I am showing you today, has rapidly risen to the top of the silver stacking and pouring community.
His pouring skills have improved to such an amazing degree that the silver coming out of his pouring bench is now extremely exceptional, making his creations highly sought-after!
2024 BCB Silver Miner #888 Silver Art Bar
Presenting Bay City Bullion Chris Cummings' latest work, the Silver Miner#888.
It is an American prospector!
During the American gold rush in California in 1849 and other gold and silver rushes that followed across North America, prospectors were familiar figures. If only they could locate some ore, or if only he could get to the next gold or silver discovery before everyone else, prospectors would pack up their lives and chase the dream of incredible wealth.
A strong, dependable pack mule was essential to any prospector's way of life. As the prospector traveled from one spot to another in quest of gold and silver, everything from daily rations to tents and mining tools was put on these mules.
Here, the prospector is dumping water from his gold pan. A pickaxe by his feet, a shovel on his mule, a nearby buffalo skull, and the distant pine trees and the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the background are all visible.
This silver hand pour is 9.6 troy oz. of .999 fine silver. Chris probably poured ten troy ounces onto the mold and lost some silver in the process.
It is marked 888, a special pour for Moi!
As you can see, it is ultra-high relief.
The prospector, the mule, and everything else just pops out from the background!
Standard bars lack the three-dimensionality of high relief bars. Because their images reach beyond the outer edge, these bars are difficult to stack. The image rises even higher on bars of ultra-high relief. The amount of information that is visible and felt in the image is enhanced by high relief bars. High relief and ultra-high relief bars feel, less like a regular coin or bar, and more like a pendant, medallion, or even small sculpture. One must expect coins and bars with high and ultra-high relief to have a larger premium.
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S !!!
I love these very special .999 fine silver hand-poured pieces. My collection of FIRST POURS from community pourers, which I happen to have only because of my sincere desire to support their crafts by being the first one to purchase their products.
