24.68 oz Simmons Vintage Silver Bar .999+ Fine

The 24.68 oz Simmons Vintage Silver Bar .999+ Fine is a rare and historically significant piece of American silver bullion. Struck by the renowned Simmons Refining Company in Chicago, Illinois, these vintage bars were highly regarded in the 1960s and 1970s for their accuracy and trusted craftsmanship. Today, surviving examples of these bars are scarce due to the great silver melts of 1980 and 2011, making this bar an exceptional addition to both investment and collectible portfolios.

Simmons Refining Company earned a strong reputation for precision and quality in the mid-20th century. Early ingots featured an industrial-style “S” inside a crucible hallmark, while later 1970s bars carried the prominent SIMMONS or SIMMONS REFCO designations. Interestingly, the “REFCO” acronym comes from Raymond Earl Friedman & Co., a New York-based financial services company specializing in commodities and futures—not “Refining Company” as often assumed. In 1982, Simmons was absorbed by Mid-States Recycling & Refining, cementing the historical significance of its surviving bars.
