Investors looking for smaller to medium-sized silver bars know that 5 ounce bars are in most cases the perfect type. There are a number of different companies producing 5 oz silver bars, and for this reason it often becomes difficult to settle down on just one bar. One of the most commonly purchased 5 oz silver bars is the Eagle silver bar produced by SilverTowne mint.
Bar Highlights:
- Contains 5 oz of .999 pure silver.
- Minted at SilverTowne in the USA.
- Design features the popular eagle image.
- All bars in this listing are new.
- Individual bars ship in sealed plastic, multiples of 100 ship in boxes.
Not only does this bar come from a storied mint with a lot of investor respect, but it has a unique design which is unlike most other silver bars on the market today. The design of the 5 oz SilverTowne Eagle silver bar is in line with most other silver bars produced by SilverTowne. The front side of the bar features raised markings which indicate the .999 purity as well as the 5 ounce weight.
The final, most impressive, feature of the front side of the Eagle silver bar is the image of an American bald eagle preparing to land on a branch. The reverse side of the bar is adorned with a criss-cross waffle pattern and the iconic prospector and burro image which is commonly found on many other SilverTowne products.
Purity is nothing more than a fancy way of describing what the bar in question is comprised of. When it is said that the 5 oz SilverTowne Eagle silver bar has a purity of .999, this simply means that the bar is made of 99.9% pure silver. This purity level is the same as most other silver bars used for investment purposes.

SilverTowne was founded back in 1949 in a small town in Indiana. The original owner and founder, Leon Hendrickson, began the business as a small coin shop in a small town. Over time, the company began diversifying itself and before they knew it, they were producing silver bars for investment purposes. The same high quality craftsmanship that brought people through Hendrickson’s doors over a half century ago are still drawing customers to SilverTowne’s products today.
The top and bottom look as shown. What you don’t see is are the shaved corners where they are getting the weight exact. I have many one oz bars and they look great. For some reason, the five oz are not poured to exact weight. This detracts from the pristine look of these bars, but overall, I’m buying weight, not pretty. I assume you should polish these out if you wanted to display them.
Will buy again when the price is right.
