Item Description
The Scottsdale Mint 1 Kilo Silver Nugget – Tombstone Collection pays tribute to one of the most legendary boomtowns of the American West. Founded in 1879 in what was then Pima County in the Arizona Territory, Tombstone became synonymous with silver wealth, frontier grit, and historic notoriety. During its peak years from 1877 to 1890, the region’s mines produced an estimated $40 to $85 million in silver bullion, securing its place in American mining history.
Beyond its mineral wealth, Tombstone earned lasting fame for its rugged outlaw culture and the iconic gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The spirit of that era is captured in this substantial 1 kilo silver bar, blending frontier heritage with modern minting precision.
Each 1 kilo Silver Nugget bar features a distinctive dimpled finish on both sides, reminiscent of raw silver extracted from the earth. This textured surface reinforces the rugged mining aesthetic that defines the Tombstone Collection, while the impressive one-kilogram weight delivers commanding physical presence.
