Silver Dollar Proofs - for the lack of a better name?

I put these in the Metal forums so I hope you don't mind the duplicate. Just adding for fun, and wondering what you may know about these, who creates, and even the proper name terminology, etc.

Don't know much about but according to the second from the last, you can probably shave in those! Their pretty cool!

i'm in the "too gimmicky for me" crowd on these and just look at them as melt value silver...

I agree...overpriced melt product...Cheers, RickO

I could plop one of those down at a couple places I go and not have a ridiculous tab for a crew.

I think they are referred to as "Currency Bars" or "Currency Bullion Bars".

They're neat but don't pay a big premium over melt for them because if you need to sell them they will be treated like silver bullion.

Thanks all. Yeah!

Currency Proofs seems to be the name.

I'm very happy(relieved) w melt in the future as that's what I paid.
Just checking to see if I didn't got cheated or they are not what they seem.

Looking at ebay, then newyork and gov mint sites (alone enough to make me poop my pants), I see 1oz and 4oz and even 8oz versions, all the same size. They sell dbl or more over spot which makes me feel better in that they are real silver and not plated. At first I could only find 1oz versions, which had me shaken. Now I see the 4oz versions which is what I have. Magnet test, weight test, dip test. I'll bring them to a local shop today for a nick and acid test.
