Historical Notes

American Custom Minting Inc operated during the peak of the 1980s private bullion expansion period, coinciding with the launch of U.S. Mint American Eagle bullion programs and increased investor demand for precious metals.

Its documented participation in the 1986 State of Texas Official Bullion program places it within a historically significant state-authorized commemorative bullion initiative.

Relationship to Silver Creations, Inc.

State of Texas archival documents for the 1986 Sesquicentennial Official Bullion program establish a defined operational relationship between American Custom Minting Inc and Silver Creations, Inc.

Silver Creations was the officially sanctioned minting entity for the program. American Custom Mint minted medallions for Silver Creations under this agreement.

Corporate filings confirm that both companies shared the same Carrollton, Texas registered address and were connected through Robert W. Williams. This establishes a documented operational nexus between the two entities during the 1986–1988 period.

Role in the 1986 State of Texas Official Bullion Program

American Custom Minting Inc participated in the 1986 State of Texas Official Bullion program authorized during the Texas Sesquicentennial. The program included .999 fine silver one-ounce bullion medallions and fractional gold issues bearing the Great Seal of Texas.

State documentation confirms that the bullion medallions were produced under a royalty agreement benefiting the State of Texas. Trinity Coin & Jewelry Exchange, Inc. functioned as the licensed marketing and distribution firm for the program.

This establishes American Custom Minting Inc as a manufacturing component within a structured, state-approved bullion program rather than an independent retail bullion issuer.
