I'm right with you on the kilos for every reason you mentioned, especially being able to handle them. Really cool to hold a brick of wealth in the palm of your hand.
@1:31 they didn't stamp 1 kilo on the back of them. Instead, when they are piled on top of one another and moved around by trucks and pallets, they indent when bumped about, a lot of compiled weight on top of one another clanging occasionally front to back, side to side. It is why you have one from the bottom of the pile that did and another from the top of the pile that didn't, and also why they have slight dings on the sides nearly always.
VERY NICE STACK MY FRIEND! I ordered my very first kg a little while ago. I absolutely love anything Johnson Matthey. My very first 10 oz bar was an absolutely stunning vintage bar that is still in immaculate condition even after all these years it looks like it’s brand new. It’s my favorite bar out of all of them.
due to degree of annealing the speed at which molted metal cools affects it's volume slightly. red hot copper or silver that is quenched in water will be slightly softer with less contraction and be slightly bigger , than a bar that cools slowly . were as steel/iron that is quenched in water will contract more and be harder and slightly smaller than a bar that cools slowly
240 oz and you only have 6 ways to divide it. Are you hoping to trade it for cash one day? Problem with bars is they are only really good for trading in cash. Further more, if the price of silver up you would almost bet the price of cash is down. So not much doing. Maybe you can make fractional out of it one day. To big to barter with and hard to find someone willing to pay that much all at once. Sill a decent stack.
Ive always wanted a kilo and i was about to pull the trigger on one precovid for a great price but i never did and ive regretted it ever since lol. U have some great kilos those must be sooo fun to stack
@Ross Rick yup I still watch the market daily. I picked up a Germania mint kilo not long ago actually along with some grmania 10 oz bars. I appreciate the heads up either way tho
@@voidedsouls6638 It's going ok. I had a medical emergency back in September so I haven't been able to get any additional pieces since. But I am hopeful that the next year will be better than this year has been. It hasn't been all bad, I was able to get my first small piece of gold at the beginning of this year. How's your year been?
Now we are talking better than copper old friend. I had a few generic, modern kilo's but made them into shot and made folks all kinds of nice things to make them smile, WOOHOO on that eh. Great to see an old friend this fine day eh. Great post bud.
Great video , kilo bars are awesome if you can buy them, easier to store and the premium isn't as painful. In the PM's world size does matter in most cases.✌
I need those bars! I have a kilo Koala 2021 coin 🐨. But I wonder how a 1 kilo bar will feel? I do have a 100 ounce bar short and very chunky. But I need kilo bars.
Kilo coins sound pretty nice. I bet it comes in a plastic capsule, right? there's nothing like feeling the texture of a silver bar in your bare hands, IMO. I hope you get one someday ;)
I just made my first silver purchase a few months ago and I got 2 pamp Suisse kilos and I want to trade one to diversify a bit would you be interested?
Hi Marlon, sounds like a great purchase. I am not interested at the moment, but it should be easy for you to swap something like that at an LCS if you are looking to diversify
Cheapest bars in EU are coin bars. They have no serial and have some monetary value, for example Fiji kilo bar is a "10 dollar" bar. They are the best for me because they are the cheapest, because they have way less tax than other bars. That being said, kilo coins are usually cheaper too than "traditional" silver bars (those that have serials). So it's only government minted coins and coin bars for me.
New rule: If a silver bar is smaller than my phone, I throw it back. lol Love the kilo bars. 10oz is too small. 100oz is too big. Kilo is just right. #SizeMatters
silvertown stuff looks like one big milk spot. least fav. i traded mine off for something more shiny. i guess it all looks the same when the safe is closed.... btw. the outer part of the scale reads KG. that scale isn't that accurate.
mate !!! can you get electronic scales? and if you talk about kg bars !!! way your fucking pounds ? Europe is most on kg system even England mostly )))
I do have an electronic scale that measures in troy ounces, but it does not register kilos unfortunately. And regarding pounds - I would be the first in line to have USA begin to use the metric scale!
I'm right with you on the kilos for every reason you mentioned, especially being able to handle them. Really cool to hold a brick of wealth in the palm of your hand.
Exactly - until you actually feel it in your hand, it is hard to truly appreciate. Thanks Jerigas!
I feel like I am the Bank when I hold Kilos
yes I agree really awesome cool feeling to hold silver casted bar. same with gold bar.
And here I was thinking I had a weird habit for loving the sounds of these metals. Apparently, I'm not alone.
I know, right?

Love the heft of the kilo bars. :-)
That's not a stack of wealth, That's a Mountain of Wealth 🤑🔥🤑
Haha, thank you Zeus ;)

Great comment, patt er - I appreciate the insight
Just got my first. Thanks for sharing your kilo stash! 👌🏼
You bet Yankee, nothing like a big ol' pile of silver!
Had a bunch of generic and made shot with them. Sure made a bunch of folks happy on that one eh bud, LOL.
I love my Monarch bars, both the kilo and 25 ouncers. Very unique. Thanks.
I like the Monarch bars - very rustic imo
Love that sound of sliver hitting each other. I though you shouldn't touch silver with your bare hands because the oil will make it oxidize?

Strangely satisfying to watch
Thanks Zach!
Man love those kilo bars, great job Bigstack 👍
That's a LOT of silver right there!
Thanks CCT - they are pretty fun to clink around ;)
Yumm eh, LOL.
These are some lovely bars. I wish they were affordable in the UK but a 20% VAT hurts. Thanks for the video.
Without a doubt, T. Morgan. My state recently started charging 5% sales tax on all bullion, and I hate it. I can't imagine 20% though..!
Here in NY state, if you spend over $1,000.00 on bullion then there is no tax, so I wait to buy when I have a $1000.00 or more to order.
Love it! Can’t wait for that gold video you were talking about making!
It should be early this week, Running Eagle ;)
Ive always wanted a kilo and i was about to pull the trigger on one precovid for a great price but i never did and ive regretted it ever since lol. U have some great kilos those must be sooo fun to stack
They are definitely one of the favorite parts of my stack, for sure - thanks Silver King
@Ross Rick yup I still watch the market daily. I picked up a Germania mint kilo not long ago actually along with some grmania 10 oz bars. I appreciate the heads up either way tho
Amazing big Stack! Love those bars. Especially the JM. Kilo is my favourite size even though I don’t have any yet.
I like the kilo and had some some JM, but found when selling that the 10oz bars get back more gain for the buck
I don't doubt it, j c - the 10ozers are such a staple for LCSs, and I can see why.
Beautiful element!
I'm a new stacker, just started last month. I can't wait to get my hands on a brick of silver like that.
Great to hear it, John - it stacks up faster than you think!
You will
If you dont mind, how is your stacking going? I think 2023 is going to be a great year for stackers...

@@johnsumner2987 I hope it works out for you man and happy holidays!
I am about a year late with this video but I thank you for your time in sharing with us.
you bet joseph!
Just started stacking kilos. Nice collection brudda
It's crazy that you would need almost 100 of these to equal 1kg of gold.
How the hand boss? Looking better. And don't be tempting me with kilos... I still have a ways to go on my ASE monster box first 😪
Feels a lot better for sure Erik, thanks for asking. I hear you about your ASE monster box..it always beckons to be filled, right? ;)
32.15 Troy oz is a nice size in one bar, beautiful great way to save and invest for the future
Bigstack
Great looking bar stack.
I actually remember you purchasing a few of them back in the day. ✌
Thanks Bullion Addict. Those first couple of kilo purchases were such a big expenditure for me back in the day!
That Silvertown is my fave!!
Thanks Bigstack, always a pleasure.
You bet, MétéoMan
Wow, nice bars BSM! Pretty cool to see...thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated, TB - thanks for stopping by!
The most beautiful is the SilverTowne silver bar followed by the Valcambi silver bar. Thanks for the video.
You bet Silver Lover, thanks for stopping by!
Nah. Silvertowne is trash. Everything they make is trash.
@Ross Rick 100% bro. They are the best
I completely agree with you. I love kilo bars of silver
Kilos are the perfect size, in my opinion - thanks Fn Mag
Just an FYI, you don't have to do any lb/kg conversions. Your scale is graduated for both, looks like it's out of calibration by about 4%.
What a great collection.
Thanks Bob!
I want to hold and handle one. Too bad for me, I don't have any. Beautiful bars, all of them.
Hopefully someday, mata materns. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Canadian so I love Royal Canadian Mint
Nice bars Sir 🎉
I ordered my first kilo bar from Scottsdale a few weeks ago . I got the stacker bar so I’ll be sure to order another kilo stacker soon.
That's awesome Tennessee Stacker - I would love to have a couple of those!
Now we are talking better than copper old friend. I had a few generic, modern kilo's but made them into shot and made folks all kinds of nice things to make them smile, WOOHOO on that eh. Great to see an old friend this fine day eh. Great post bud.
So great to hear from you, Dean - I hope life is treating you well!
@@BigstackMcgee I am doing great aside from the 110F temps up here. Busy as ever pouring and lovin life. I hope you are doing the same old friend.
I think im gonna grab couple just because it's so pretty ...have u ever sold or traded a kilo bar of silver?
I have never sold or traded a kilo bar, no. But they are pretty liquid in my estimation. thanks dennis
I loved this video. Man I want a kilo bar now
Glad to hear, Silver Ripples - silver kilos just feel amazing in the hand
I like the kilo size best when there machined finished like a 10 ounce bar. All of my kilo bars but one look like yours.
Great video , kilo bars are awesome if you can buy them, easier to store and the premium isn't as painful. In the PM's world size does matter in most cases.✌
All great points, Gary - totally agree
Always cool videos!
Wow, it’s been a long time since I came across your channel. Glad to see your still Stacking!
Lowpross11-Sanpedrosilver ✌🏼
Great video, nice bars. Reminds me of Looper
Thanks for stopping by, TheSilverCo!
Great looking stack of kilos!...I need a couple JM kilos to go with my 100s and 2oz gold JMs. Agree that kilo is a great size
I do have a JM 100 as well (which I love) but no 2oz gold...something I shall have to remedy perhaps ;) Thanks Stacker Dude
Scottsdale kilo I love

@@BigstackMcgee when I do I'll upload a video on my channel.
I have 5 1kilo bars of cork islands and love looking at them
Nice!
I have a sunshine mint kilo love it but if I could trade it for another one I would love one Of those argor bars
I do love the Argor/Chiasso kilo - vintage and nice feel. Thanks Tactical Unload
I just made my first silver purchase a few months ago and I got 2 pamp Suisse kilos and I want to trade one to diversify a bit would you be interested?
Hi Marlon, sounds like a great purchase. I am not interested at the moment, but it should be easy for you to swap something like that at an LCS if you are looking to diversify
@@BigstackMcgee what's A LCS?
Think those are nice, look up Argentia bars! They're art.
Beautiful babies
Now that’s some chunks🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Mailman!
Any 100ozers in the stack?
Yes, I have one Johnson Matthey 100 from early last year when silver crashed down to 12 bucks an ounce. I love that thing!
Pamp suisse 1 kilo Silver bar is the most beautiful in my opinion... esp with the kilo gold brother besides..
Oh, now you're talking - I would love a Pamp gold kilo..!
😁👍 awesome thanks for sharing
You bet, MacZ1!
Kilo bars...Nice!
Appreciate it
I love those kilo bars! 👍
thanks asheland!!
Valcambi swiss all day!!! The only other one that comes close is the RMC.
Good call Jimmy, one of my favs
Solar panel manufacturers will be reaching out to you when the squeeze hits the fan
Thanks Daniyoyo
Awesome 👍👍👍❤

What? I think you need both a PAMP and a RCM.
Does RCM make a kilo silver bar? I have several 10oz ones, and I really like them. I would of course like the 100ozer too. Thanks StevenRay
@@BigstackMcgee Yes, but the RCM kilos are now in short supply. I am waiting on the arrival of my kilo PAMP.
No silver kilo Germania bar???
Not yet, champstar, but it is on the list!
@@BigstackMcgee Check out the current Monument Metals pre-sale. Much cheaper than APMEX or anyone on Ebay. Just leave some for me. lol
I just received mine from Germania mint 👍🏽
Nice Erik - I would love a kilo from Germania mint - congrats!
Bought my first kilo tonight
Congrats, Daniel! What kind did you get?
1 Kilo Silver Bar Valcambi Suisse .999 Fine (w/Assay) , and I just ordered for 1 oz maple leaves and 1 oz silver eagles
New rule: If a silver bar is smaller than my phone, I throw it back. lol Love the kilo bars. 10oz is too small. 100oz is too big. Kilo is just right. #SizeMatters
silver pancake
yum!
no germania mint? uhg.
Good some are 0.999 and some are 999.0
Давай Кузбасса слитки. Серебро
Those are reading 950 grams and are not 1000 grams kilo? What a ripoff. come to find out, I think it's your scale that is not perfect in measuring.
✌️
silvertown stuff looks like one big milk spot. least fav. i traded mine off for something more shiny. i guess it all looks the same when the safe is closed.... btw. the outer part of the scale reads KG. that scale isn't that accurate.
I hear you, DB - not much to look at for sure. Thanks for the comment
mate !!! can you get electronic scales? and if you talk about kg bars !!! way your fucking pounds ? Europe is most on kg system even England mostly )))
I do have an electronic scale that measures in troy ounces, but it does not register kilos unfortunately. And regarding pounds - I would be the first in line to have USA begin to use the metric scale!
@@BigstackMcgee mate!!!! You make me laugh hard !!! At 2:00 AM here!!!
🤤
A kilo is 2.2 pounds.
🤤🤤🤤
First
thanks fF!
I would only buy a Cooks Island Kilo coin. Bars are boring.
