Welcome to our website BuySilverBars.com, an online guide to the precious metals market, specifically focusing on physical bars of silver bullion.
Our site is here to provide new as well as experienced precious metal investors a resource for keeping up to date on market movements, locating where to buy silver bars both online & locally, and learning about the various types and forms of physical silver bars. Please read on to see what our website has to offer. Alternatively, if you are ready to purchase silver bars check out JM Bullion.
Another topic we have delved into is the various forms of silver bars that exist on the market today. The most prevalent bars are referred to as "bullion", meaning an investment grade bar that is valued primarily for its silver content. Other types of bars include "Art Bars" and more collectible type bars which carry premiums above and beyond just their silver content. We also have written extensively on new vs. secondhand silver bars, and what you need to know while investing in each.
Although almost all silver bullion bars contain the exact same purity and amount of physical silver, certain brands do carry premiums over other brands due to their reputation, relative scarcity, and more. We have dedicated pages to each major brand of silver bar manufacturer so our visitors can learn more about the companies that produce these bars, what sizes of bars each manufacturer produces, and the relative premiums over spot price that each brand name commands.
As mentioned earlier, there are several sizes/weights of silver bars that are widely available on the market. Common sizes include 1 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz, and 100 oz bars, all of which are weighed in troy ounces (the standard unit of weight in the industry). Besides those sizes, investors can also find 2 oz, 1 kg, and other rarer sizes of bars, although off-size bars typically command relative premiums to more widely circulated weights.
As the site has grown, we've added more "miscellaneous" articles covering aspects such as protecting and storing your silver bullion, what happens when you perhaps want to sell in the future, buying silver with PayPal, buying silver with free shipping, and more. Alternatively, if you are looking for live silver prices, you can visit silverprice.org, the number one site for silver price charts in every national currency in the world. We plan to continue adding to the website as we come up with more topics, so make sure to check back as we grow and expand.
Precious metals did a lot this week but by the time markets closed there was little to nothing to show for it. Over the course of the past 5 days, gold more or less remained steady while silver actually took a bit of a beating. From an opening position of near... Read more
Precious metals did not exactly impress this week as a slow week of data ended up taking its toll on spot values. In total, there were very few massive pieces of economic data, but because of the general lack of data investors have been honing in on fringe reports more... Read more
Precious metals began backing off almost as soon as the day began thanks to stronger employment data being dealt. As far as the week as a whole is concerned, this one was particularly busy and brought with it a lot of useful data for investors to hawk over and discuss.... Read more
