We don’t really cover many bullion bars here, mainly because we have our hands full with the denominated coins, but the recent popularity of Germania Mint’s coloured two-ounce cast bars has meant we’re a little more open to the occasional dabble. Here we are.

Scottsdale Mint is a big name in the bullion market, and their latest series seems to be one that would have appeal to the coin collector, perhaps. These bars are minted, not cast, but like the Germania range, have a coloured front face.

This is quite a simple range, reproducing flags, but only four of them at the time of writing are national. The bulk of them is a 50-bar set, each of which carries the flag of one of the 50 states of the USA. It’s a very varied mix, from the pretty, to the ugly, but as with all flags, people will want them because of what they represent.

They all have an unlimited mintage. While the fifty-state set is likely complete (they could do territories, for example), the national flag series has only four issues to date, and a quick look at the United Nations line-up will tell you, there’s plenty more where that came from.
