Here's What Our Experts Have To Say

Buying silver bars can be a good investment and diversification tool. Silver bars are relatively affordable to purchase.

There are varying types of silver bars available. From the small one troy ounce of silver up to 10 ounce and one kilo bars and more. All silver bars should be 99.9 percent pure or above. Always purchase from a reputable precious metals firm like GmrGold.com

Silver bars that are available for purchase should always be produced by a mint or refinery. Refiners usually produce silver ingots - Silver ingots are the larger bars and tend to be rough and are used by jewelers and also for industrial purposes. The smaller silver bars are often the ones purchased as investments and collectibles. The size, weight and maker should be stamped on each bar.

Silver has become more popular recently and silver bars are a good investment for the future. Silver bars should always be stored in a safe location and away from public view.

Silver bars are probably not as popular as silver coins. Small one ounce bars are really only for collectors as the mark up and shipping costs outweigh the investment value. Ten and one hundred ounce bars are better for investment purposes.
