As with previous releases, the Fort Sumter ATB consists of five troy ounces of .999 fine silver, and is minted at West Point by the US Mint. As these silver coins are backed by the US government, recognized as legal tender, and struck with strict production quality and metal purity specifications, each silver ATB may be included in a precious metals IRA.
