Plastic green army men have lived in children’s toy boxes for generations. Silver soldiers, reminiscent of those tiny toy soldiers you played with as child, are now available at Provident Metals.
The first plastic army were made from metal and lead, but in the 1930s, plastic became the only medium used to create the iconic infantrymen. The toys even grew to include enemy packs, vehicle models and a variety of different weaponry.
The silver soldiers at Provident Metal closely mirror the original army men you may remember from your childhood. The designs include an array of soldier models as well as the iconic “pod feet” that allows the army men to stand freely. These silver army men were created by an artist at Elemetal Mint and are at least 1 oz of .999 fine silver. There are currently 5 silver soldier designs to choose from: the Rifleman, Stovepipe, Gunner, Flamethrower, and Sarge.
Many investors may be drawn to bullion or coins, but these silver soldiers offer a nostalgic and creative way to invest. Silver makes a great investment right now due to its affordability and industrial use that drives demand.
Similar to precious metals, army men toys have withstood the test of time, having been a staple in so many children’s lives. Now you can add these silver soldiers to your portfolio as a means to diversify your precious metal account – they also make great collectibles or gifts!
Provident Metals is proud to offer these one-of-a-kind silver pieces. For more information about hand-poured silver items, browse our inventory. You can also learn more about silver investing by reading our blog and knowledge center.
