Backyard Bullion: Six Years of Silver and Still Pouring Strong
In a world where most silver bullion comes off precision presses and industrial dies, there's something truly special about a bar made by human hands — molten, raw, and full of character. That’s why I’ve made it a point to collect Backyard Bullion’s 1oz Hand Poured Silver Bars every single year since the very first one back in 2019.
And the great news? My 2025 BYB bar is now officially on its way! 🥳
If you're not already familiar with Backyard Bullion, let me give you a quick introduction. He’s a UK-based silver pourer, YouTuber, and passionate member of the stacking community who has turned his backyard operation into a respected name in hand-poured silver art. His 1oz annual series — each bar lovingly crafted, individually stamped, and serialized — is now something of a tradition for collectors like me.
Each bar in the series shares a consistent identity: rustic charm, tactile weight, and a sense of continuity. From the original 2019 bar, where the concept was still fresh, to the more refined finishes of recent years, it’s been a pleasure watching BYB’s craftsmanship grow while still keeping that raw, artisanal feel. The BYB makers mark, the .999 purity stamp, and the reassuring heft of poured silver in your palm — it's pure stacking satisfaction.
The 2025 edition looks to continue the legacy, and I can’t wait to get it in hand. For me, this isn’t just stacking bullion — it’s a connection to the community, to the artist, and to the story behind the silver. Whether you're collecting every year like I am, or just discovering BYB for the first time, these pieces are a real celebration of small-scale craftsmanship in a big-scale world.
Are you collecting the whole run too? Or maybe you’ve picked up a special BYB piece along the way? Drop a comment and share your BYB story. And if you haven’t joined the hand-poured side of the silver stack yet… what are you waiting for?
@welshstacker, this post really captures the soul of stacking! I love how you've highlighted the unique appeal of Backyard Bullion. It's so true – in a world of mass-produced bullion, the character of hand-poured silver shines through. That rustic charm and the personal touch from BYB are what make those pieces so special.
The fact that you've been collecting these bars since 2019 speaks volumes about their quality and the community that surrounds them. Thanks for sharing your passion and giving us a glimpse into the artistry behind this unique form of silver. I'm keen to hear what others think. Have you ever handled silver like this?
