About the Mint
SilverTowne, a highly respected private mint in the United States, began its journey in 1949 as a small coin shop founded by Leon Hendrickson and his wife, Ruhama, originally operating from a cigar box under a lunch counter. While the retail business started earlier, their dedicated minting facility in Winchester, Indiana, began producing bullion in 1973. Today, SilverTowne is renowned for its high-quality, affordable bullion products with exceptional purity standards, making it one of the largest private mints in North America. Among their most recognized products, the 'Prospector' silver rounds and bars have long been considered a flagship item and are highly sought after by collectors and bullion enthusiasts. An interesting historical fact about SilverTowne is its commitment to custom minting, offering specialized services for businesses, including commissioning custom medals and coins with logos and brands, and even producing products for organizations like the U.S. Military. They also uphold stringent quality control, guaranteeing the purity and stated weight of every bar or round they produce through diligent measurement processes, and are ISO 9001:2015 certified.
