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.

And I think I would like to feature this hand-poured silver as a tribute to the Ladies of Hive.

You are all wonder women!

This hand poured silver bar was made by taking melted silver and pouring it into a mold that has been carved to form the desired shape. In this case, it is the form of a woman... a depiction of Wonder Woman.

Ultra high relief WONDER WOMAN Silver Bar. It is pretty hefty too! Just shy of 10 ozt.

It is stamped "P", which means prototype. I have not seen another hand poured Wonder Woman Silver Bar from Pit Bullion yet... other than this one.

It's very pretty!

Wonder Woman is my favorite female superhero. In grade school, I carried my books in a Wonder Woman backpack and my food in a Wonder Woman lunch pail.

Wonder Woman is the most popular female comic-book superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no other comic-book character has lasted as long. Generations of girls have carried their sandwiches to school in Wonder Woman lunchboxes. Smithsonian

I've had this Wonder Woman since the 2017. This awesome silver bar that was hand poured by @pit-bullion during a recent #metalsmafia YouTube LiveStream. I don't recall how much I paid for it (my record is in the safe), but whatever it was, I certainly could not afford it now.
