Anyone know who made this bar?

Thought it might be Crown Mint with that reverse but after some quick research I'm leaning it's not now.

    Slightly different though, mine has a serial number. Don't know what that means, if anything.

    So it turns out it is Crown Mint. This Intl Trade bar has the exact same reverse. Thanks for the help and kind words folks, I hope you take this knowledge with you in your silver hunting too.

    While your reverse is similar, and not identical, to the Crown Mint, the differences say otherwise: Different logo, one bar is "pure silver" the other is "fine silver." Looks like the reverse of one of the bars might just be a knock-off of the other bar. I'd keep looking for an answer.

    With my Vast Knowledge of silver bars :):):)
    You know, the amount of Vast Knowledge that wouldn't fill a thimble :o

    Given the older vintage design, I'D wager a $1 that it's from the Rarities Refining Mint

    Well that and it's got the Rarities Refining Mint eagle on the front.

    If you don't mind me asking, What did that set you back?

    I was diggin in the safe this past weekend and it fell out from the back. I've had it so long I don't recall buying it or what I paid. There's the one on eBay that's similar but with no SN. Other than that I can't find anything to comp it to.
