Are kilo bars of silver any good? I think they are amazing and everybody should own a 1 kilo bar of silver. They are very good sizes for storage of your silver and portability of your wealth. They are however beholden to the value of spot price. But, you can enjoy them and hold your silver and hold your wealth in your hands and appreciate how amazing and dense silver really is!

I have been buying a kg bar every 2 months. I have 22 bars of silver now. I just can't STOP. I'm buying but I am not spending money!!
Awesome hedge against inflation and demand.
Great ! you should get some smaller deniminations too.
Where do you live??!!
@@catsnmi270 aahh, you must work for JPMorgan😂
@alancbishop and taking a little more power away from the globalist scam like JP.
I’m glad I’m thinking about this stuff at 15, I’m gonna get my first job when the summer starts and I think I’m gonna save most my money in silver kilos
do it wish i wouldve done it
You can also melt the bars into 1 oz silver coins, as you get older, and feel the need to use them. I would also highly recommend buying Gold for long term savings (for example to finance your house or something similar) and silver also for long term, but also emergencies. For example, in the case of the dollar loosing its value completely, to buy food and other nessecary goods with it directly from farmers.
Same I’m 16 and going to buy my first 1oz gold coin and two 250g silver bars.
Yes! Get some good HONEST money saved up!
Everyone should own a little bit of Gold and Silver fullstop.

Gold, silver and smaller denominations in copper and brass.
@@debbiehenri7170 and smaller denominations of bitcoin , satoshis.

Or a lot
Rule of thumb is 70/30 of whichever metal you feel stronger in...usually gold/silver. The kilo bars make good doorstops! 😄
I was so pleased with my 1 kilo silver bar...just lovely. Like the feel of it & the weight of it in my hand.
It's an amazing thing!
I learn a lot. Thanks. Each time they banged together the noise they make is enjoyable
I feel like having a few kilo of these bars are vital to savings. I am going to hopefully have 5-10 of these stashed away for future investments.
Really enjoyed your views and advice. Just subscribed. Thanks for making this video.
Im more of a fan of 10 oz bars. They are more liquid on the 2nd hand market.
I am also a big fan of 10 oz bars I think they are a very good size
I know it's weird, but I'm the same way. 1,2,4,5,10,100 oz bars are my favorite simply because it's an exact amount of ounces and I can quickly look at prices per ounce and know what I have. I mean, if I got a great deal on an odd weight, I'm not dumb, I would buy it.
@@elitefitness341 you and I are like minded. Nevertheless,squire more
Always easier to buy then to sell.🤔
Silver is extremely liquid. Even the 1000 ounce bars are trivially easy to sell, and the spreads are less, the larger the size. The disadvantage of larger sizes is simply that they are physically large and heavy. You can fit 1000,1 ounce bars in a short safe deposit box that will not fit a 1000 ounce bar, because it's too tall. On the other hand, it's much easier to pick up 1 object than 1000 objects. Also, 1000 troy ounces is ~68 pounds. A lot of people just can't lift that, sadly.
I have got a kilo silver bar that i bought a year before covid and has already gone up over the price i paid for it! need to enjoy it more though, as at the moment its sealed in a plastic bag in a big wooden box this video has made me think i should get it out more!
A week ago i saw a new 1 kilo coinbar from StoneX on a site and it was love at first sight! I already ordered it, can't wait for it to arrive ...
Got a few Kg Bars and I do like them quite a lot :) Nice for stacking. I also have one 1kg coin. At first I preferred the bars, but the kilo coin is growing on me. Now I'm contemplating picking up the 1Kg Lunar III Ox coin and then hunting down a 1kg Lunar III Mouse, but that would mean committing to the whole 12 coin set!
Here in Japan most of the big precious metal houses only trade silver in a 30kg block. When I look at their websites I get lots of popup ads for chiropractors.
Interesting - that is a big old block of silver!
@@BackyardBullion Apparently its about the size of a large tissue box.
That not correct
I have some ishfuku kilos and 300 gram bars.
Although I think you can’t get the 300g anymore but 100% about that.
but you have to go there to get them.
I might have them on my silver vid.
You can find them on yahoo auction.
@@evilintheeast Like I said, you cant find them at most of the big precious metal houses.
i ll take those 1000 ounce bars no problem
Kilo is an excellent size Bar. I like the old ENGLHARD 100 OZ, and the 10oz Bars also. Excellent video. Keep Stacking!!
Love the old englehards for sure.
I have been looking at Vulture Peak Mines Kilo bar. They have a hefty premium but I really like their poured lines in their bars and how they hand stamp each bar. I have bought from them before and they have good customer service.
Glad to find this video even a year after the fact. I'm debating between a Kilo (beautiful and nice weight) and even numbered bars because when it comes to reselling, I do wonder if 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 ounces are just easier to sell down the road. Good informative video. 👍🏼
Hi Mary J, I have wondered the same thing in the past. What I have decided to do is to diversify by buying silver in different weights and shapes. I have a solid kilo bar but I also have kilos of silver in "silver slivers" (shavings) and in "silver shot" (BBs). If I am ever in a position to sell my silver, then the silver slivers or shot will be much more divisible so as to more accurately pay for something or to find a buyer for. Not everyone will be able to afford the Kilo bar.
@@jayduffy7615 Great advice! What I've done is exactly what you said, diversify. In the long run, smaller amounts are easier to sell for those of us without immediate connections to dealers/buyers. I love the idea of the Kilo, 100, and 1,000 oz. as both a cool looking bar and a way to get more bang for your buck.
Just adding a random comment to help your vid with the TH-cam Algorithm
Thank you very much!
Definitely with you on this one. For pouring stock, stackers or dare I say “investors”.. A practical size and slight cosmetic damage really doesn’t matter. Not as easy to trade as a coin but the low premiums on bars can’t be ignored 🙂👍🏽
bars are more expensive than coins
@@theloniuspunk383 depends where you buy and where the market is at the time buddy 🙂👍🏽
@@grandpafossil I just found it strange
@@theloniuspunk383 coins are much more than bars...don't know where you are looking
@@theloniuspunk383 I've never found a bar that oz for oz was more than a coin, you might need to check out different suppliers.
That could make an interesting video... polishing up one of those kilo bars then comparing it side by side with the unpolished one. Would be good to see how you do it. 👍
I might do it, I also might not as these bars are meant to be like this!
For me personally it has to be the Umicore Bars. You have the looks and feeling of what the classic bullion bar should look like. Cheers BYB for sharing.
I started buying 10-oz silver bars on a monthly basis and a 1-Kilo bar every 6 months since 12 years ago.
the kilo and size around it was one main reason for the run on silver in 2011... the dealers were short for large amounts, and then the smaller just went crazy... so if there's going to be another run... you'll get more for the large size believe it or not
Received my Metalor 1 kilo fine silver bar today. 🤗
A lady from the highly reputable London dealer i bought it from told me that currently they have no more Metalor kilo bars. She said she doubts if any dealer has any in the country at present.
I purchased a 100 oz bar sometime back for 15000.00.. I thought I was being eccentric.. but it turned out to be a good deal and I really enjoy picking it up!
They do look great they have the WOW factor about them . Great video again byb.
Yes they do!
I enjoy the diversity of having both bars of various size and all sorts of coins.
If you ever come across an Englehard silver kilo bar you should buy it! They are extremely rare and the most collectible format for all of Englehard.
Its on my bucket list!
Don’t have one yet by working on it
Thanks for sharing
It's a very good goal to aim for!
My Brother has a couple of 1 kilo bars of Silver bullion. They really are mesmerising. The weight for their size almost seems magical.
Very nice, and dealers will probably love it if I need to sell it. Not too sure how practical it is for a barter type scenario. Maybe good to have a certain percentage in 1k bars as an investor. Please know your dealer and whom you can sell if needed. If you are thinking about desperate situations, this may not be the best choice.
I don't own any kilo bars but I am a proud owner of a 2015 kilo kookaburra and a 2017 Congo gorilla, both in capsules
Where do you buy a kilo silver capsules?
Also a good reason to have big bars is not having to purchase large things with 100s of quarters when we start using silver and gold
Yes, very true
i buy junk silver for buying eggs or bread etc, large purchases may be of secondary importance should things really break down
I currently own 3 1oz Britannias and a 1oz una and the lion bar been collecting for a month really want a 10 oz coin next but also really the thought of having an acutal bar now
I would love to have a kilo bar or two. They look awesome! Maybe a gift to myself when I pay off my credit card debt next year. Right now the biggest bar I have is a 10 ouncer
Very wise move to pay off all your credit cards first. Starve the banks and buy silver (and gold).
I have and like a variety, including one Kilo round I got very cheap. The bulk are smaller bars and coins for easier selling. But I got to say, I love the heft of the Kilo.
I like my 20oz scottsdale skinny bars they feel good and can easily be used as a weapon. It doesn't get better feeling than that. It's just long enough to wack a mole with.
I also am a big fan of the Kilo size. Could you recommend - what you believe to be - the best place to acquire at the lowest possible price a small quantity of these ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim
It's always fascinating to me how the human brain perceives volume based on shape. Even at the 5oz bar size there's tons of variety, some of which people would probably swear are under or over 5oz at first glance.
Those bars also might have less than a gram of impurities. From what I understand, a lot of .999 silver may actually be higher purity than marked to a degree, its just most mints can't guarantee they will be so they settle for a blanket .999 label that can be met 100% of the time. Would be an interesting experiment to see the exact differences with a Sigma machine!
Yeah totally - most silver bars have a assay rating of about 9997 silver so its very little impurities in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for stopping by!
I have several hundred ounces of silver, but no kilo bars. I always buy gold when I have that much extra to spend, but you're making me want one. Hand poured silver is my favorite.
Very nice!
There is just something about holding that 1 kilo bar, especially if it is one of great beauty like a Geiger Edelmetalle bar. The feel, the look, the history of the metal, it all comes together. Makes you feel like Scrooge McDuck.
ikr ... or you could take the “might” ink dollar bill which is likewise produced to infinity.
If you want to dive into your pile of gold and silver like scrooge mcduck, they need to be coins/rounds. Also, wear a helmet if you decide to do this.
@@eventhisidistaken sorry I'm a bit late just watched the video. Also you might want a full neck brace and motocross body armour.
I machined 6x6 tungsten cubes..lawd they were crazy heavy..
Yeah, they are mad heavy!
I've tried the 1oz coins, 10oz bars, 1kg bars, and 5kg bars. The 5kg bar is hilariously heavy but very impractical. 1k is a nice weight and good feel. That feeling you get when you hold one is hard to describe. The coins, yeah they're probably more useful for day to day stuff if we ever get to that point but i'm not as big a fan of them. I have taken a liking to the 10oz bars though. They are a great mix of practicality and that feeling you get when you hold them.
I AGREE WITH THE SPECIAL SENSATION WHILST HOLDING AND HANDLING SILVER. I STRUGGLE TO PUT MINE BACK IN THE SAFE AFTER CHECKING IT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT, I HAVE ???? 1KG BARS to play with.
Yes, you are right to buy 1 kg silver bar to keep, as you usually pay a much lower premium above the spot price rather than buying 1 oz of silver coin. Remember you may have to add 7% of value added tax or GST (goods servive tax) in certain countries on top of the above the total price. Advisable to buy when price of the silver dips.
I started out on 1 ozt bars and then 5, and now 10 ozt. I also started with 100 dollar budgets and now I go for the lowest possible cost-per-ounce. I have plenty of Silver dimes, quarters, halve and dollars, rounds and Maples/Britannia'really
This Pleb likes 5 & 10oz bars if can afford. The Kilos to look nice, especially the long ones. Geiger or Germanian makes nice ones too.
I like the idea of bars, they feel like wealth. My perspective is this. Why do you want it? Is it as an investment? Probably not, but if so, then the most popular is what you want - 1 to 10 ounce rounds and bars. Is it as a store of wealth? Maybe, or maybe as an insurance policy. As a store of wealth, larger bars probably make more sense. But if the purpose is for SHTF insurance, then a combination of larger and smaller makes sense. You would want smaller for smaller transactions, and larger for the store of wealth aspect.
He likes saying kee-low doesn't he. I like hearing it too!
It depends. Kilo bars are for the really rich people. For the average joe 1 troy ounce coins or bars are a much better investment/choice. When the system collapses it's better to have 33x1 troy ounce bar than a 1 kilobar. As medium of exchange small units are recommended.
I prefer 5 oz and 10 oz silver bars but i agree it must be a good feeling also owning a 1 kilo silver bar! 👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Immensely satisfying to hold I should imagine
Very much so!
Wait till you put a ice cube on one hahaha
Mmmmmmm Kilos of Luster. Fantastic. Great work BYB. I think I’m losing my mind. I just sang a love song to My Una and the Lion 2oz silver proof. 😂
Oh my you are a lucky man to have a 2 oz una and the lion!
Almost 10% jump in spot prices…
Not a bad day for SILVER, huh?
All those that have been waiting…
Patiently HODL’ing and intelligently accumulating…
CONGRATULATIONS and KEEP WATCHING!!!!!!
We are headed to $1000+!!
For me smaller bars are the way forward because if you need to swap them for anything they are easier to trade as opposed to a large bar that you would need change from or cutting down to size
Yea these would be for maybe a cow purchase once shtf. Not sure rancher wants the 1 kilo though
There is no law saying you can't have both. Do you only carry $5 bills in your wallet or do you have a few $20s, $50s, and $100s?
It really all depends on the premium you pay. The other day I bought 1oz silver rounds at SD Bullion for the same premium as a kilo bars so it was a no-brainer to go with the rounds.
Generally I prefer 10ozt bars, pocketable but with a decent nice heft to it, a kilo bar might make a nice desk ornament though.
It certainly does make a very good ornament piece I usually have one of them out at any time just to play with!
I just bought a 1kg bar... Thinking (besides cheapest silver at only $2.30 over spot) that would be a convenient size to store and handle and consolidate ounces. Only down side may be in selling.. Dealers and finicky buyers get bumfuzzeled by converting to 32.15 troy ounces and then multiplying by spot to figure out buying or selling price. 10oz bars are nice but today are more expensive per ounce.
I like 10oz bars and 5oz easy to sell if needed kilo is good for long term investment
I buy 5oz, 10oz, and kilos, and its good to have silver rounds too. After you buy enough of the little stuff in case of you have barter later, then you can concentrate on the bigger bars for long term savings. This all depends on you financial needs. Watch your gold to silver ratio in case you have too much silver, convert to gold for better storage and easier to travel with.
Got us the Kilo 2005 Chinese Year of the Rooster and the 2015 Somalia 1 kilo Silver Elephant Puzzle Coin with zero supply now. As far as kilo coins go anyway. Only 215 of these coins ever produced!
lol you sparked my interested in tungsten
Tungsten to the moon 🚀🚀🚀
A SIMPLE test for purity of a silver kilo bar is by the water displacement method. Silver has a density of 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter. As such, your 999 fine silver kilo should have a volume of just over 95.3288 ml.
I prefer 10ozt bars but my favorite kilo bars are the stackable ones from Scottsdale Mint. They're like Legos for investors.
When were these bars cast? I have one with a serial number close to these
my favorites... gold and silver kilo bars!
Glad to hear it!
Hi there...what possible strategy to sell back...mostly gold are popular exchange
Tax on silver. No tax on gold. I like the aesthetic of gold and silver. I want it as an investment too. I'm not a money head but would like a return when it comes time to sell it. So that means I want a balance of an attractive piece of metal with low premiums that will hold its value. Just getting started but videos like these help paint the picture. Cheers.
Still holding 40 kilo bars from Heraeus, Germany. With higher concentration of bullion than presented...minimum holding time - 3 years
I bought a 1kilo 10dollar fiji coin bar. It’s beautiful
Gorgeous 1 Kilo of silver bars👍
The kilo size is the international accepted weight for bullion. It’s the best bang for your buck by far.
i am saving and in 3 years time i should have one of those
Get a different job that pays more and get the bar now before you will have to pay 100 x spot price in three years.
I'm a delivery driver and 1 weeks pay buys me 1kg of silver. It's pretty cheap right now.
@Blue Collar Silver Dollar I'm making £700 a week. From just that.
I either met the same dealer or they read about this other dealer cos I know someone who has done the same thing with a 1000oz bar, painted black and it is still there today...only a few people know it, the address of the shop but he seems thrilled about it.
It is a fairly common story - I cannot remember where I heard it but it does make some interesting thinking!
I think is was a story I heard from international stacker he is also doing a giveaway I would check him out!
I can see where price of silver is headed so prefer 1 oz or fractional for easier trade and barter. The big bars will def need melting down.
Kilo bar is hard to sell in europe - best deals go pear to pear. Just out of curiosity one made offer to local coin dealer and it was way below spot :( Gold is different story.
I would have noticed the door stop. I LOVE 1,000 ounce bars, mostly because of how hated they are and the low premiums. They do require paperwork, but when the time comes to sell you can cut it up.
@kevin mulligan Selling 1,000 ounces of silver at once requires a tax form.
My first silver purchase in 2015 was a geiger kilo bar. I own 6 of them now and a lot of geiger 10 ounce bars and half kilo bars. I really fell in love with geiger and never looked back. I am a little ocd too so a mish mosh of random bars don't work for me
The geigers are stunning for sure
@@BackyardBullion I have about 50 of the 10 ounce geigers I felt that was the best bang for the buck and not locked into too big of bars when the price goes way up which I expect
Germania Mint is on fire right now in my opinion, they have a awesome bars.
I have 1 RCM bar going to buy a SMI next then both in 100oz .
I can remember not to long ago a kilo of gold was $30,000 then within a few months went to $70,000 but since it’s back to a little over $60,000 but still you doubled your investment n less than a year.
Hi there, I really like the idea of getting into precious metals. It feels like a stable way of holding some asset. I know this will sound niave but I shall ask anyway. Where can I purchase silver at a competitive rate here in the UK? Regards all.
www.thesilverforum.com is probably your best bet
✌👍👍👍 I own one kilo bar, but I am looking forward to getting more !!!!
You and me both!
Nice video. I only got into silver collecting just over 2 months ago and my very first silver purchase was a 1 kilo Sunshine Mint bar. Unfortunately, one ounce pieces fit into my measly budget much better. BTW, I certainly understand wanting those bars to be shiny but if you're only going to melt them anyway why bother?
I bought all the tungsten cubes. I also bough osmium cubes
So if i buy some silver, does it matter where i take it to cash it in?
The VAT we pay in the UK just doesn't make silver worth it. I'd stick to gold where possible.
finally someone who gets it, its about the feel, it feels more tangible. Gold just isn't as satisfying as it's typically a small amount and reminds me of holding pocket change
I own three 100 oz and six 1 kg bars. I wouldn't recommend them to the average stacker due to the liquidity concerns. I am now only buying sovereign coins exclusively. If you keep your powder dry and wait for a good dip, you could get premium coins (Maples/Eagles) at VERY little more than generic rounds or bars online, but you'll get the upside of higher premiums when selling. Plus you don't have to worry about non-precious metals/alloys inserts in big bars.
Kilos are a nice size. Especially poured. 👍
Ive been silver bars for 25 yeas and have 73 pobs moving them when you need to , my sovereigns are better storage and playing wiht.
I have two..if you have problems selling melt down and make smaller poured bars..
For sure, but it's not as easy as you think
Serious question. At what weight owned in silver do you stop buying? 10 kilo 30 kilo your weight in silver? If you hit 5000 oz do you stop 20k oz?
They are beautiful. I've got some nice poured bars but they are less that a kilo
Thanks for sharing, you need to get your hands on a poured kilo piece those are pretty amazing!
@@BackyardBullion I really do. Everyone needs at least one in the stack
Love your posts!
Glad you like them!
I do. Getting into this late, but I reckon better late than never!
Agreed kilos are magical!
I've got a few kilos worth but not all in one bar 😭 my largest piece is sadly only 3 ozt
You definitely need to get your hands on a bigger piece even just 10 oz is absolutely incredible to hold!
@@BackyardBullion sometimes I hold a tube and pretend 🤣 but a 10oz is on my list I just wanna get 2 more 1/10 gold before I get the full 10. Maybe I'll get lucky with IS and win one lol
Couldn’t agree more!!
I have only 1kg Scotdale not the same look I agree...:)
The 1 kg scotsdale are great
Love the bars.
The problem with all of this in the U.K. is 20% VAT. I’ve got Kgs of Silver but nothing bigger than a 250g Unicode. Just 100s of coins. I’d love to buy more but for the uK stacker, gold looks better value regardless of the current ratio. Paying over spot and then 20% on top makes you at least 23 to 25% “down” on these bars.
I agree but my preference is 100 oz. Bars...
I only touch US coinage, no paperwork for transactions in Florida
