Silver Bars VS Silver Rounds - Don’t get the WRONG ONE!

In this silver pros episode we discuss what silver is best between silver bars and silver rounds. When it comes to silver bars vs silver rounds there are a few considerations. Silver rounds are typically priced very reasonably and they look like silver coins. Silver bars can have the lowest premiums when it comes to silver stacking or investing in silver, but are usually found in large silver bars. When it comes to which size is best for silver stacking it depends on your budget and goals. We compare 1 oz silver bars to 1 oz silver rounds and the rounds came out on top. When it comes to 10 oz silver bars and 100 oz silver bars the tide shifts depending on stacking goals and budget. Which is best for you silver bars or silver rounds?

My preference (in terms of generic) is strictly 10 oz bars. Easier to stack. For smaller stuff, I like sovereign

[@kona6451]

exactly right.

[@stardust949]

I'm a newbie stacker (less than 2 years) and it's been so much fun, learning about this bullion world, learning about different Mints, etc. What I've discovered is that buying silver is addictive, lol! Do a video about that. 😉

[@busterscruggs3031]

Healthiest addiction I could find!!! Sure beats smoking and gambling lol

[@coinjack1543]

If you’re looking to stack weight (meaning to trade fiat for a nice chunk of metal), I’d opt for an ounce of gold over a 100oz silver bar. The prices are comparable at that point and you’ll actually be saving on premiums with gold and have an easier-to-handle and more liquid form of money.

[@montanastacker]

I have both, but I prefer 10oz Bars.

[@winnhill3736]

10 Oz bars I think are my favorite thing to stack. Rounds and coins are still a must though. But those 10 ouncers are just pleasing to handle.

I'm also a fan of 1 oz. rounds. My main reason is that I also like to see the different varieties of designs. Yes, I'm stacking silver, but I'm also collecting different pieces of "art"

[@hauntedhighway2166]

I've got a little of everything. Always buying the sale priced items. And stacking for weight, always being aware of the premium of the item.

[@BamaAngler]

I mostly stack 10 oz bars until I can trade in for gold. They are just easier to liquidate come time to sell. But I love some Brittania coins and eagles

[@Karim-ik5ij]

Why are they easier to liquidate?

[@mbutungubu5629]

For me its Govt Bullion > Bar > round We're at a point where certain govt bullion is equal to or less than generic rounds, so I just go with the official one.

[@dogguy8603]

I would say the only exception is if its a round made by a reputable company like SD bullion. That or it has a cool design lol

[@Disinfective_Vibes]

10 oz Canadian government bars and Britanias government bars are Superior to buffalo rounds if you have same price deal on them, but buffalo would beat any other generic bars. As of sizes the 10 oz bars are better than 1 oz because if you need some cash the range between $200 and $300 at a time is more common situation to happen for the average person than just the barter size of 1 oz silver rounds or bars. Usually 10 oz bars price is lower than 10x (1 oz) rounds at buying point. The kilo bars (32.15 oz) are also great at buying and when selling it's around $800 (more close to an average weekly paycheck) and that's a nice psychological way to look at it. 1 oz rounds are true the best size to barter as they look like a coin and they represent somehow the $20 bill (the most commonly used currency bill in day to day transactions). So in conclusion the kilo is a paycheck, the 10 oz bar is the best stacker (saving item), the 1 oz silver buffalo round is the silver representation of the $20 bill. It's only my opinions on those real money units!

[@kimberlyforbes7547]

I’m going to buy both, so that if I have to barter someday, I can swap to their preference.

I’ve always leaned towards maples and philharmonics. I have a tube of eagles- first tube I ever bought.. some kooks. I just started getting Buffalo rounds and am looking into 10 oz bars. I really like the maples… the design, the .9999 fine, they’re just very nice to look at.

[@JK23111]

Until I have enough of rounds stashed, I won't consider bars, however a few smaller bars in a mix until my threshold is reached, I will stick to rounds. Thx for the video guys. 👍🇺🇸

[@EagleStacker1]

I have been stacking primarily 1 oz rounds because they are less expensive then the bars. I have bought 1 kilo bar and few 5 oz and 1 oz bars. I like the idea of having both rounds and bars and will look for good sales on 1oz bars and pick up a few more 5 and 10 oz bars.

I'm fairly new to stacking and at first I decided strictly rounds. Almost 2 months later I have a mixture rounds, bullion, and bars. Most of what I have are bullion mainly due to liking the design better.

[@low-keyobserver8539]

Hi there guys, love your work 👌 To be honest i just sold almost $3,000 worth of 1oz and 2oz coins to be able to purchase my first couple of silver bars. People kept asking why i am selling my coins for bars but personally for myself and the love of silver i just had to be holding the bars as i love to feel a big chunk of silver in my hands and I'm very glad i did. The bullion bars i picked up were from the ABC BULLION COMPANY AUSTRALIA & the bars are actually 500g ( half kilo bars ) which i think is a perfect size bar to hold and treasure 👌

[@slapdat.byteme]

By neglecting to bring 5-oz into the comparison, I think you missed the ideal bar size to compromise between 1-oz bars (losing out to 1-oz rounds) and 10-oz bars (nice to hold but not ideal for barter).

[@TheTigerStacker]

I can understand your comment, however, Silver Dragons, quite a while ago did a comparison of 1 ounce, 5 ounce, and 10 ounce. Clearly showing that most people want the one and 10 ounce. So that is probably why he did not include the 5 ounce in that video.

[@rickygreeke8566]

Q

[@azrielsmith3167]

5oz also harder to come by and usually don't represent a savings over 1oz like 10oz often do so you pay around the same per ounce but tie up more ounces in one bar vs 1oz pieces

[@slapdat.byteme]

@@azrielsmith3167 Guess I got good deals on the 44 5-oz bars my wife and I bought because the per bar cost was substantially lower than 5x what the cheapest 1-oz rounds were going for.

[@azrielsmith3167]

@@slapdat.byteme I think it depends on the area and the seller whether they would sell 5oz bars cheaper. I never see them cheaper than generic 1oz or if they are then marginally. I think 1oz have been rising in price recently though just because of demand, maybe from so many KZbinrs hyping them these days.

[@aantosca]

I would also check prices and do not assume a round is always going to be your least expensive option. SD Bullion and others run specials all the time. At the time of this comment (Friday June 9 at 9:55pm EDT) SD Bullion is running a special on 1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin - Random Year for $3.99 over spot. When I checked, Spot was $24.48 making the Philharmonic Coin cost $28.47 (Check / Wire) for any quantity and the 1 oz Silver Rounds - Design SD's Choice are $28.67 (Check / Wire) Quantity 1-19. IMHO I would opt for a Sovereign 1 oz coin if it cost less than a generic round.

[@nickb5091]

I couldn’t agree with you more.

[@gluedown7]

I bought a bunch of round. all different logos. Got bored with rounds, starting buying bars. really like the cast bars.

[@booterbutler3693]

Hey SD, how do I justify the shipping price on top of the premium? Wait and buy 5+ ounces at a time? I've looked around and about all that's available to me locally is pawn shops which are a bit sketchy imo.

[@zafotbeeb]

when storage space is minimal 100 oz bars take up the least space along with lower premium.

[@kian925]

In California if I purchase less than $1500 in gold or silver or a mix, I have to pay sales tax. To maximize my purchasing power I save and buy only when I have $1500 or more. Because of premium being so high I buy mostly gold and use silver to fill my cart until I hit $1500. So far it’s taken just a few silver rounds.

[@ayrplanes]

So if you are rich and can buy a lot of it there is no tax but if you're poor and can only afford one round you get taxed? Where's Robin Hood when you need him? Oh yeah, its California. He's out robbing the hood.

A sovereign mint 10 oz bar VS 10 oz private minted rounds, which one would be the first choice?

[@allen_p]

I have both and both can be faked. However, I have far more bars than rounds. Specifically, I like bars with security features of hollow-graphic images and serial numbers. I have a Metals-Backed IRA and all my metals in the depository have Serials numbers. Yesterday, I noticed on the Trust website that a 250gr Gold Bar was missing form the list. I have the email from my online, bullion dealer listing the serial numbers for all the bars and I could tell the Trust the bars: mint name, weight, gold, & serial number. It got corrected very quickly.

[@Dremin2009]

For most people making small or medium sized orders from an online retailer, the couple cents difference between bars or rounds won't be enough to overcome their own preference. Like if I prefer bars, I'm not going to buy rounds because of a few cents. And I think the 100oz bars have their place in your stack after you have a sizable amount of small denomination stuff. At 100oz a pop the premium difference adds up fast.

[@silverfan2196]

I'm a bar guy all the way. 10 oz bars are my favorite.

[@Rich.Staples]

The premium on Silver Bars comes from serial number tracking. Most rounds do not have serial numbers. But when u buy a bar ur getting a specific bar with a specific serial number as a security feature.

[@BlueWaterSTAX]

[@AndrewRodman1998]

I 100% prefer buying silver bars. Because a 1 oz silver bar cost about $30. But a 1 oz silver round cost $40 or more. I need to get the best bang for my buck, and either way once silver skyrockets, they are both 1 ounce of silver either way. So I don’t think it will matter when 1 ounce of silver becomes tens of thousands of dollars per ounce in the next year or two!!!!!
