A rare "OG" relic: My 100g silver bar from the legendary @silver-vessel

Every now and then, a piece finds its way into your stack that feels more like history than metal. That’s exactly how I feel about my 100g hand-poured silver bar from @silver-vessel. It’s the only piece I own from him, but it’s an absolute gem—and one I feel incredibly lucky to have.

This isn’t a recent pour. It’s one of the older bars, stamped with his original logo—a design you just don’t see much of anymore. In a way, it’s like holding a relic from a golden age of poured silver. The finish is raw and rugged, with just the right amount of character that only a true craftsman like Silver Vessel could pull off.

In the world of community pours, Silver Vessel is a name that carries serious weight. He was one of the original legends—part artist, part alchemist—turning molten silver into pieces that collectors still talk about years later. So to own one of his early pours, especially with that old-school hallmark, is something I genuinely treasure.

At 100g, it’s got a nice heft to it—just enough to feel substantial without being oversized. But more than that, it’s a reminder of how deep and meaningful this stacking journey can be. It’s not always about the flashiest new release or the rarest coin. Sometimes, it’s about a single poured bar, made by hand, by someone whose passion helped shape the community we’re all a part of.

There may not be many of these floating around anymore—but one of them found its way into my chest. And for that, I’m grateful.

Here’s to the legends. Here’s to the pours. And here’s to holding a little piece of history in your hand.
