What is the difference between a poured bar/hand made round and a bar or round that is machine processed/extruded?
Machine processed/extruded bars and rounds have basically no variation from one piece to another and since they are entirely made using large machinery with no real human contact, they come out with a shiny, unblemished mirror-like finish. Poured bars and hand made rounds are exactly the opposite. Since each piece is made individually by hand, no two bars or rounds will be exactly alike and minor surface imperfections are common. The bars and rounds produced by Monarch Precious Metals are cleaned and polished before shipment, and pieces with glaring cosmetic imperfections are eliminated, but it’s not unheard of for the occasional fingerprint or small imperfection to make its way through to our customers. This is simply unavoidable with a product that has so much human contact in each step of the production process.
