The Best Silver Bar Size for Silver Stacking or Silver Investing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2021
- In this video I talk about silver bars and what silver bar is the best size for silver stacking or silver investing. I talk about the 1 gram silver bars, 1 oz silver bars, 5 oz silver bars, 10 oz silver bars, 1 kilo silver bars, and 100 oz silver bars. If you want to learn about silver bars 10 oz and silver bars 1 oz then this is the video for you. 1 gram silver bars and fractional silver bars are bad for stacking and investing. The most popular are the 1 oz silver bar and the 10 oz silver bar. The 1 kilo silver bar and the 100 oz silver bar have the lowest premium. Which silver bar size is the best for stacking depends on which silver bar is right for you. I hope this silver bar size video could help you decide which ones you want to stack!

I like 1000 oz bar as thieves can’t run real fast while carrying one gives me plenty of time to load my shotgun
😂 HEARD THAT
Its very possible the thief secures the homes weapons & perimeter 1st while the owner is away. Decoys are a good option to consider since they’re probably trying to get in & out ASAP. If they are busted mid burglary, best believe our friends in the chamber are much much faster. Stay stacking my man. Bars, coins, rounds.. They’re all great to me!
Thank you. Dude I needed that laugh. 🥰
Lol it should already be loaded!!
Suuurrree, we call them "thieves" now? I thought there was no more werewolves and vampires
My favorite size bar is the one I can afford
I agree!
lol
I think 1kg is the sweet spot for investors, low premium, divisable, feels good in the hand, resells below the tax alarms.
I agree, but I actually have a few big ones especially 1,000 ounce just for the tax reasons. If there's a pullback I can sell those for losses while I quietly buy more.
Hey guys securities investor here, I have a good couple thousand in gold and silver etfs and am looking to add some physical metal. Looking to buy a kilo of silver and some 1 oz coins. You guys recommend I order it online or go to some kind of shop?
@@onzah3515 I suggest look at both and compare. Sometimes saving on the shipping and insurance costs makes going in person a better way to accumulate. While many American online bullion companies have free shipping, it's actually priced into their products.
So shop around, only stick with reputable dealers.
not anymore (tax alarm) and there's an even better breakdown of how the IRS actually programs their "AI" to scan. Say you have a 50 dollar transaction in a calendar month. they will extrapolate this out to a monthly recurrence and assume, that's the 600 = new China Joe flag limit. buckle up, folks. we are occupied by hostiles.
@@billyumbraskey8135 Good. They can put me in jail and feed me all because of $50. And millions more. Free universal housing for all!
You know I watch almost every gold and silver related youtube everyday. Been watching this guy since early last year. He is the only one who gets the near future spot trend correctly. He was almost everything right. Everyone keep saying $30 $100 soon for many years which never happened. This guys is only realistic and correct.
From your observation how long would it take for silver to go up $30 or even $100?
Sorry bud its almost 30$ rn
100 oz bars are just as liquid as anything else. You just have to get it hot enough.
Good one.
100 oz. bars can be harder to sell, some people dont have that much money to spend. So I like to stick with 5 oz. and 10 oz. bars. Some smaller coin shops do not even want to buy 100 oz. bars, because they are also harder to sell.
@@stevestewart6287 ya but you missed the joke.
@@dukeofbanfe I got the joke, I just decided to ignore it.
@@stevestewart6287 Another reason to own 100 oz bars is for those who might have the opportunity to trade for gold in the future. It is well known that gold is much more liquid in higher value amounts in comparison to silver.
My method that has worked well. Hope it helps:
- I put 90% into 1 & 10oz bars for long term investment/storage. Mostly 10s.
- 10% into 1 & 2oz rounds, mostly desirable/collectable patterns, might get some appreciation and they sell a bit higher. Mostly 2s.
- I keep two bars and a couple coins separate, designated for handling or showing or just when I get that urge to check them out. Everything else stays hermetically sealed and locked away.
- I buy two or three times a year, try to time the market lows as best I can, and always purchase enough to get free shipping.
- Rarely sell, but if it jumps over $30-35 like it did a few years back, I'll let a good bit go out of the 10z bar stack.
yup. I even got some 5 ozers from Provident metals when they were running the prospectors around 2019, I think it was
The Larger Bars are only if you have enough invested in 1 oz. coins. Because as high triple digit Silver becomes a reality you can’t shave off an oz. To date I can say after 46 years of stacking I’ve acquired (462) 10 oz. bars. Most of which were under $5 an oz. I never even purchased a 10 oz. bar until I had 7000 ozs. of coins. And the 100 oz. bars were $350 bucks each in 91’ so that was the year I bought most of those. I only own 21 of the 100 oz. bars. Wow I am so glad I don’t have to get excited about catching up with you people now. So I can concentrate on more important stuff like food and gardening. By the way none of you will get rich owning Silver or Gold. This time when the price explodes you’ll be inundated by hyperinflation. If you own it you’ll have retained your wealth and that’s it. GOOD LUCK 👍🏻
NESARA/GESARA
Big Mac!
How many 1oz bars does it take to buy a vehicle/horse/piece of equipment/wife/house/land?
If I wanna buy a cow, wouldn't doing it in 10oz or kilo bars be more convenient than Eagles?
The people who only go for 1oz silver and see now value in having larger bars, are thinking very small. I hope bread and eggs is all you ever need to barter for.
@@syberphish gold has entered the chat
@@chriscomeaux3354 I rarely have enough laying around to buy an ounce of gold at a time though, and the premiums on fractional is usually stupid.
An ounce of gold makes a terrible doorstop, silver does a fine job. ^__^
100 OZ all the way. Bought the dip last week when spot was $20. Got a bunch of 100 OZ bars at $1.69 over spot. That's $21.69 delivered. Very happy. And for all you people saying that it's hard to move 100 OZ bars, it's not. If you live near a metropolitan area (like I do) the dealers are more than happy to take 100 OZ.
Excellent video SD. I learn something every time I watch. Thank you!
10’s are easy to stack and easy to sell. They also have some pretty good designs that you don’t typically get with a kilo or Hundy. So that makes them enjoyable to look at as well. The hundy Brick is just too much to handle for viewing but the sheer weight is it’s wow factor. 💙
Everyone should own at least one hundred oz bar if they’re serious about stacking, and it makes sense to take advantage of the lower premiums and that “wow factor” you’re talking about;)
Yes 10oz are ideal but I like 1oz rounds they are more divisible
You are correct. I sold the three 100 ounce bars I had and put the money into gold. Yes I got hooked on the premiums coming and going, but it was worth it to get rid of those large unwieldy large bars.
@@dontatme7 What I don't understand is that 1 oz coins are of different prices just because of the picture on the coins. I never agreed to charging differently just because of the picture posted onto the 1 oz coins. I think that because it's silver and it's 1 ounce of silver should be the only thing to make it cost anything.
@@gossman75 What you say makes perfect sense, but we both know that doesn't mean it is "true". The problem, if you can call it that, is that (traditionally) it has been really hard to make much money dealing generic silver. I worked at a dealership selling silver and gold for a while (10 years ago) and it just became kind of silly, you'd sell $27,000 worth of silver and there was maybe $200 profit in it. Since it's so hard to make money selling generic silver, it stands to reason that some dealers will ask more for special designs. If silver is $22 and any old generic round is $26 and an eagle is $30, this is not the way it was say 5 or more years ago. It used to be common for dealers to sell 1 oz rounds for a buck or a buck and change over spot. And that wasn't a "special, it was everyday pricing. Then, maybe it was 2 years ago, this big smelly shortage allegedly occurred and all of a sudden, gen rounds and 5/10 and even 100 oz bars had a $4 or even $5 premium. It hasn't gone back to "a buck over spot", as I am sure you've noticed. Along the same lines, it has always been common for Englehard or J-M bars to sell at "noticeable" premium over generics. And this was true even when both of those refiners offered product, which neither do right now. Why should that be the case? It's because dealers can get away with it, and I am not disparaging dealers...it's not an easy business. Heck, if someone loves Barry Manilow and will pay $35 for a generic round with his image on it, why shouldn't some dealer or mint have a batch made and try to sell them? People pay $300 for Michael Jordan Nike sneakers, maybe they think those sneakers will allow them to jump a foot higher or maybe they think they are honoring MJ's record by buying them. I couldn't tell you. Tell you what, if there was a rapper known for gold chains and you could sell gold chains for 140% of what the chain would cost elsewhere, I say go for it. That said, do I prefer J-M bars to Sunshine Mint bars? You bet I do. Would I pay 120% for it? Probably not. Would I pay 105% for it? I might.
I’m a 10ozer
Same
Buying the dip this week. Been highly addicted to buying gold as of late but ordered my first 10oz bar on Friday after eying 5oz bars for months.
Can I ask where you personally are buying from?
Thank you
@@radera5125 apmex and I’m bullion are good I usually use jm bullion
10oz gold? *whistles*
Do it. 5oz bars are my favorite I'm that kinda weirdo everyone should have at least 1
"A Kilo is arbitrary and weird"
lol, only when measured in ounces
let the sink in!
It makes perfect sense in every other country in the world.
@@jt1559 Except it doesn't. Troy ounces are still the standard. I think only china went to a metric "ounce."
now do your baking in metric and get back to us lmao
@@jt1559 also makes production sense. The U.S get their own production line for material and products and the rest of the world has to share the other production line for their materials and products. Like a 10mm hex bolt vs 3/8 hex bolt. Both are similar but different enough not to be interchangeable.
Generally, I'd say 1oz is the best overall, given that confidence in the authenticity tends to be less as size increases. But as far as I'm concerned, it really doesn't matter so long as people are stacking Silver and transferring their wealth back into real money.
What about saving precious metals for post reset??? When they make the debt zero and change your account balance to its true value having currency pre reset or prior to 2021 evergrande collapse inflation effect your investment will be a kick in your teeth, i would save them to trade for coins which can be used as a unit of currency and only appreciates the more our economy becomes unstable which at 60+ trillion world debt is looking like it
You do realize the Marxists are winning in the world right now right? America will fall then nothing to stop them and guess what they’re winning here in America too. Got legislation? Got censored? Knee deep in Marxist hell the only reset that will be happening is to communism because NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN AMERICA but waiting for Trump do nothing republicans to save them.
@@peacockhorsepower3181 That's why people should be stacking so that they can do something to help themselves.
@@peacockhorsepower3181 It is the commie bolsheviks running the planet at the behest of the elite banker psychopaths. Nevertheless, you are exactly right.
@@veritasfiles should you stack with a specific one like 1oz? 10oz?
Excellent stuff! Thank you for sharing.
Very good, I’m Canadian so I had to convert all the numbers but it’s all good. Great video
Great video my friend. Thanks for sharing some important info with the community. I really like the one once myself. Easier to sell.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
I sold all of my 1 oz bars years ago and have since switched to 10 oz bars. Bars I like are Sunshine, RCM, and Britannia. Have sold a few in the past without any issues. My LCS prefers bars in their original factory plastic. I like to keep one each in a capsule for showing. I do same for tubes of rounds. Always order one more than a full tube to place in a capsule just for displaying.
Just started my investment into silver bars and I have to say I really love collecting the 1oz silver bars
The best bars are the ones in your stack!
Thanks for taking the time explain this.
100 gram bars are my absolute favorite. Not too big, not too small. Perfect little morsel of silver.
Great video. Thank you for comparing the different sizes
My favorite bars are 1-kilo bars. The premiums between 1-kilo and 100 oz are very close, and the 1-kilo bars are more portable, and easier to stack. I also love silver maple leafs for coins! 1-kilo bars and 1-ounce maple coins leaf are what I stack.
Me too👀😂
@@thealize808 me too
My Maples got that milky powder (fungus) right in the tubes.
@@tweedeldee8122 OHHHH NOOOO
Agreed. Love kilos and love maples.
That thud when he puts the 100oz down 😆
I've been a 1 oz coin guy exclusively until recently. Just bought a couple 10 oz Scottsdale stacker bars though and I might be hooked.
Good info SD. Thanks
I’ve never seen a more inspirational channel name. It’s a bit intimidating, but thankfully the video was great
Thank you for the information.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
Hero Bullion has the Germania Mint kilo bar for $2.29 over. I picked one up for $797 and will look to add more if spot continues to slide.
I have just bought the 250gram (8OZ) Germania Mint Silver Bar and I think they look fantastic...
Bought the same bar at the same time
i only buy generic silver, i like any size, but i have mostly 1 ounce rounds, then a close second is my 10 ounce bars. i have a total so far of 2320 ounces and counting.

Damn you will be the king of the neighborhood when things hit the fan.
@@Luckyboyee777 the king is the guy who can kill the most. Silver wont be money. Nice investment but your buying nothing with metal. Now I know this might hurt some people here but facts are that you can buy more with bitcoin than gold. You can't buy anything with silver....real money though real money you can't spend.
@@justinmadonna3733 Lmao. All Russia has to is drop an EMP deactivating the internet then REAL MONEY would show. Or maybe I'm just overthinking? Oh well.
Not all rounds are perfectly formed. Not like a sovereign I mean. I got some MM rounds that are not perfectly made. Oh, they’re perfectly round but thicker on one side. They’re tested silver.
Love your channel!
I like 5 & 10 ounce bars. For 1 Oz I buy coins. And for anything I’ve 10oz. I buy gold.
A few years ago I bought a beautiful 50 oz poured bar from monarch precious metals. It is the favorite in my stack.
Always learn something new from SILVER DRAGONS!
Great vid on the dip. Good timing for new investers and inspiration for people already holding! Congrats!
I collected bars for ages. These days I like getting collector 1oz coins from second hand sources. You can get some real bargains from like yard sales, auctions, local for sale ads etc.
Great video! 👍
I usually just buy 1oz bars or rounds as they're easier to liquidate, easier to transport, and easier to store
This is great information for silver investment. Thanks 👍
When buying a particular size bar, another factor I would consider is transportation security to and from a local buyer/seller. I just wouldn't feel very comfortable walking around with a 100toz $2,500 bar (7 pounds) of silver. Not only difficult to carry but more difficult to conceal, so it would be much less likely to be overlooked by any mugger.
Interested in the 10 oz way more than the 1 ounce bars now. I feel 30, 1oz bars is enough for barter, best start making big stacks soon.
Those are awesome bro !!!!
Nice video! An easy way evaluate pricing on kilo bars, is to get the spot price in grams and multiply by 1,000.
Gotta wear closed toed shoes when handling those 100 oz bars. Great video!
Especially the 1000oz "bars"!!
Love the video. I have 80 ounces so far. Only 1 10 ounce bar so far
I’ll take 10 one ounce bars. The old art bars have interesting designs and the premiums are pretty close to 10 ounce.
If your buying for art work your not a Stacker. Your a small time Art Collector.
@@macclark4112 Ha ha. I just like buying stuff I like to look at, considering I hope to be looking at it for the next 30 years. In addition, the interesting stuff sells for higher on the other end. That’s just me. To each their own.
I prefer the 10oz bars. It really just depends on how much cash you have to turn into money. All of these options are fine. .999 silver is .999 silver.
Great video, thanks. I like it all.
Thanks for the info I just got into stacking silver 1oz bars.
1, 5, 10 Stack all three!
Same here … except that sweet 20 oz Engelhard I managed to find ;)
The premium price on all silver is still ridiculous.
Very nice video. Good information.
More videos like this please. I like this comparsion type video
I think the 5-10 Oz bars are the sweet spot due to stackability and liquidity. It’s harder to sell kilo and 100 Oz bars on the secondary market unless you sell for spot or under spot at coin stores
500gram is also nice
@@CBUCK1994 I’ve never owned one. I usually just stick to the ounces measurement just because of inventory purposes haha it’s way easier. Maybe I’ll buy a couple now haha
What are your thoughts on 2oz coins for stacking? I see on the TD site that the 2oz coins are cheaper (per oz of silver) than 1oz coins or 10oz bars. Also, I overheard someone selling a 100oz bar at the local bullion shop last week, and when I researched their site 10-10oz generic bars were worth more than the 100oz bar when selling to them, and about equal buying from them.
I buy for investment purposes. Whichever is cheapest per the ounce and in my budget gets my money. I also keep reselling in mind though so if it doesn't sell well in my area, I'm not a buyer. That means the kilo and 100 oz bars are out since they're difficult to move.
I like and stack 2 oz coins and old pours (I have only one of those so far). Two oz coins seem to be more rare and, to me, more interesting. They are bigger without being too big. I have never seen a 2 oz coin at a coin shop ever so I think they would move really well if they did happen to carry them.
Even though this is mainly about investing, another thing to take into account is if things go bad and you move from investor to survivor and need to use it for commerce you're going to want a good mix of lower sizes because if you show up and try to buy a chicken with a 10 oz bar you may not get change. Lastly, government reporting is required on transactions over a certain amount so if you buy a bunch of 100 oz bars below the required reporting number and then sell it your sale will be reported whereas if you have small bars you could break up your sales over days or dealers and be under that number and not be reported.
I'm in full support of the tax evasion but brother you will never use silver coins or bars to purchase something. Never.
@@justinmadonna3733 you will realises very soon how wrong you are.
@@justinmadonna3733 I already can. My local farmers market most stands take 1oz rounds as 25 bucks cash.
@@redneck740 That's a deal for the farmers, not for you the holder of silver. The point of silver is not as a medium of exchange, but as a hedge against inflation.
@@justinmadonna3733 Not to mention it isn't that hard to melt down a 1k oz silver bar into smaller pieces.
1 oz for trading or bartering and 5 and 10's for stacking!
I like stacking 5oz bars because I can buy just the bar and choose a couple 1oz rounds to get past the $199 free shipping minimum on most sites. I also like to look at the various designs available on 1oz rounds.
Same here, I’m only 16 so my paychecks aren’t very big but the 5oz is the perfect price where it’s not too much but still quite a bit of silver.
I do the same sometimes if I have extra fiat I’ll buy the 10 oz I’m buying 2 times a month
I love the 100oz bar RCM especially. So pretty
But my favorite silver bar size is def the 10oz bar
My silver bar stack (from small to big) consists of 3oz (yes three oz), 5 oz, 250 gram (approx. 7.5 oz) , 10 oz, 500 gram (approx. 15 oz), 20 oz (another weird size) and 1 kilo. We have more options in the sizes of bar in Asia. My favorite bar is 500 gram bar.
Hi, 250 grams is actually 8.038 ounces.
10 oz usually gets the free shipping cost too.
Like the ten ounce bars,easy to stack and store
Not a big bar fan...never have been. Not sure why! Mostly rounds and coins for me. I do have a few bars...a few 10 oz "P loaf" Engelhards and some Geiger. Of course, Geiger only comes in bars, or more accurately squares (mostly), so I have a few more of those. I have recently picked up some more bars however when I saw that during the pandemic, bars were sold out almost immediately. I thought it would be good to get some more in the stack (nothing over 10 oz) because of that, but not my preferred items to buy. Nice comparisons and great video SD.
I think 100 oz bars are the way to go, lowest premiums, and to be honest I wouldn’t be going down to my LCS to sell an oz or two at a time. If I need money, I’ll most likely need a few grand, and it’s not hard to sell a100 oz bar, at least not in my neck of the woods.
I don't know why, but I prefer the look of cast silver when it comes to bars. I know you don't typically get the cool designs and whatnot, but there's something pleasing about them to me.
They also tend to be a lot cheaper too as the sellers typically obtain larger quantities at lower prices. The irony is that because silver scams are so common, professional looking coins and bars aren't even a guarantee of purity as there is a whole industry dedicated to silver scamming.
I have one three ounce bar. Never seen one before. Snagged it as soon as I saw it.
I like every bar to be different so they're fun to look at :D
a $3.99 premium or higher is never reasonable. up until march of 2020 premiums on gov coins were like 2 bucks maybe, generic silver was at spot or maybe as high as .89 cents.
its sad that 3.99 is considered reasonable
can someone please answer my question... is the premium calculated per OZ? so for example i buy 10oz will the premium be $3.45x 10?
A monster box of government coins is the best. It checks all the boxes (except premium sometimes). It is a 500 oz package with tubes of of 20 / 25 oz. And the tube is further divisible into single ounces. So you get small, medium and large all in one. You also don't have as many issues with worrying about counterfeits as you might with a big bar. Keep stacking...
Agree totally. For flexibility the are ideal. I buy Monster boxes and have sold full ones unopened, as well as individual tubes.
of course it is, if you have 25 grand to blow
Im new to this can someone help me like when should i buy silver? Is it like crypto where the price goes up and down if so how do i know the current price. Thanks.
I think this really shows the two different schools of thought for stacking. The 1oz people are probably the ones stacking for the eventual need to barter. The 10oz people are the ones planning on investing and being able to trade back into dollars at some point.
A nice video, I think it would be better if you gave the premium as a percentage over spot, as it would carry over roughly to any spot.
For somebody who seems to be hung up on premiums it’s interesting how you reference SD bullion as they are not the most reasonably priced.
hello. I have just started watching your channel and also I am new to this. I have some questions what is the difference between BU and Random year? what is the benefits. I what to invest in long-term.
Love the FEIT Costco light tripod.
Like the 10 oz. bars. Bullion exchanges has had them priced aggressively all summer long.
I don't know what's going on but I keep having to re-subscribe to your Channel
Is the price advertised on S D bullion the price you pay or do they add a tax?In the UK 🇬🇧 they add VAT ( value added tax ). It is 18% at the moment.
Here in Germany the 1kg bar marks the last signifikant drop in premium. It's considerably less than for the 500g bars. There are also 5kg and 15kg bars but it doesn't make much of a difference in terms of premium. So 1kg is pretty much the sweet spot unless you really want huge bars.
The price online in UK for 1 kg silver fluctuates almost £750 - 800. Any cheaper option??
I love all sizes of all PM's makes for creative hiding places, even in plain sight
I've added some really cool fractionals just to get free shipping. It equaled out. SHTF, they may be worth it. Still cool. I didn't really suffer a loss. I'm happy.
Id like to invest in silver, but the premiums are so damn high, my intention is to never sell my PM and pass it on, but I still keep into consideration DP+T=TP. Dealer premium+taxes= total premium. And if I'm taking all that in, I'm paying twice over for what I'm getting. Just can't justify it.
Only way I can justify it is by the kilo, thanks for the video. Very Informative 👍👍
I prefer 10 oz. Large enough to see a discount, but easy to move and store.
1 oz bars or rounds.
I’ve sold some 10 oz. But it was easier to sell the 1 oz.
I sell them on either eBay or marketplace or to coworkers or acquaintances.
I would like to add that I prefer to stack 10oz.
My dealer a dear old fella offered to sell me 100 oz. But I stayed away it was just too much.
Also buying in bulk buying 100 rounds or bars 1oz gets you cheaper deals. Little more affordable.
New to silver, but correct me if I am wrong here: purchase of something valued in excess of $500 won't be taxed right? So if you buy a bunch of 1 oz bars, even if the total is over $500, you'll still be taxed because each individual bar us under $500. So wouldn't the best idea be to buy kilos or higher?
Looking on SD Bullion today and the 100g silver bars are going for 104. Wow! That seems like the better deal than stacking 1 oz
This was made two years ago. I bought the 10 oz bar shown for 250 at that exact price yesterday. So is silver worth investing in?
Thanks for the video. How do you store the bars? I have a few 1 kilo bars that I want to protect from tarnish. I was thinking to wrap them silversmith's cloth and seal them in Ziploc food grade bags. Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.
I put mine in a ziplock and then remove the air by lowering the bag in a pot of water to the seal line. Keeps them from tarnishing.
Love the dragon silver bar
One advantage to buying 10 oz bars (online) is that $199.00 seems to be the standard price to get free shipping so you can count that into the price as well.
Where to buy ? The 10oz for 200 can’t find a site
I have a question. Today, I bought a 10z cast silver bar from a super reputable shop that has their own line of 9999 fine silver. The premiums were super low, so I went with that over the RCM government backed 10z bars that came with a much higher premium. My goal is to hit 100oz first. I’m a newbie with 13 ounces in total. Am I wrong to not go for the RCM one? Does the government backing make it easier to sell?
I think that would largely depend on how easy it is for a third party to determine that your presumably local "super respectable shop" IS actually super reputable...how well they're known, the kind of presence they have in the investment community, just who claims they're super reputable, and so on. If they're a boutique shop then no matter how reputable they may actually be, proving it in real time for an attempted sale can be a problem. Rightly or wrongly, having the RCM imprimatur can be helpful.
I like the 100 Oz. Feels solid in the hand.
i started with 1oz ASE then went into 5&10oz bars because i didn't want to pay the ASE premiums.i did recently pickup some 1/2oz rounds just to give me smaller units for bartering or gifting.
I recently bought a few 1 and 5 grain bars, super cute but really impractical
Yes, buying any precious metal by the gram is almost always paying an exorbitant premium. It is not worth it at all, unless the grams are being sold close to spot price, which is rare and hardly ever. It’s best to pool your money together and buy something larger!
Honest in a SHTF event, fractional silver will be what is used to buy, sell, barter. What your kilo bar is going to be used to buy a dozen eggs or a can of spam, lol? Heck, stick up on silver halves, quarters and dimes as well.
