What Scottsdale Mint does

Scottsdale Mint, LLLP is a privately held designer and manufacturer of silver, gold, and copper bullion products, founded in 2008 by Josh Phair and operating a 70,000+ square foot manufacturing facility in Casper, Wyoming inside a Foreign Trade Zone. The company's core capability set spans melting and casting, surface finishing, die production, coining, vaulting, and packaging, supplemented by an award-winning silver and gold recycling process that refines recovered metal to .999+ purity. Manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001:2015, products comply with ASTM purity standards and are IRA-eligible, and Scottsdale Mint serves as the official legal-tender mint for more than 20 sovereign nations including the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, Reserve Bank of Fiji, and Central Bank of Samoa.

The product portfolio centers on the proprietary Stacker® line of interlocking bullion bars and rounds, augmented by the Alpha Strike™ first-strike collector series, the Certi-Lock® tamper-evident serialized packaging system, and themed sub-brands such as Lady Justice (Gibraltar legal tender), Scottsdale Cowboy Bullion, EC8 Caribbean Coins, the Americana Collection, and the 250th Anniversary Collection. Revenue is generated through four channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on scottsdalemint.com with volume-tiered premiums over spot; a global wholesale dealer network of thousands of partners across 40+ countries with minimum order requirements (10 oz gold / 500 oz silver); direct B2B custom minting and legal-tender coinage for governments, central banks, and corporates; and vault storage and IRA custody services via the co-located Wyoming Reserve Class 3 facility.

In 2022 the company expanded its manufacturing footprint, and in 2026 it entered a strategic purchase-and-sale agreement with Hyperscale Data's subsidiary Ault Global Commodities covering silver, gold, platinum, palladium, and rare earth minerals, signaling a broadening of its commodities footprint beyond traditional bullion retail. Distribution of government-backed product is reinforced through an authorized distributor relationship with the Royal Canadian Mint, and the firm maintains ongoing production of millions of ounces of bullion per month across silver, gold, and copper lines.
