agree with the earlier posters... I would buy dimes instead, BUT that was not your question. I would suggest ebay. You can even find a "lot" of multiples of these little bars (chips, really). |

Just curious if you want these as a novelty? These are definitely not the way to go for investment purposes.

Seems like buying grains via gold if you go grams on silver, just not a good plan via investment but novelty item perhaps.... I would be curious to know for comedy how many bars would one need to get 100 oz of silver (what is that like 2800 bars, lol), and how much would that cost if you went 1 gram silver bars, using an average price on one like the buffalo bar perhaps that I have seen listed often? If anything you would have some inventory for ebay, lol. There must be some what of a market for silver that small, since I see so many listings. Just seems like a waste of time in the end, to small a gain, for the trouble to list, sell, an ship.... Edited by Silverhawk74

Here Is the first one I found buy it now, via 1 dollar, an 3 more shipping, so 4 buck average. That is 11,200 for 100 oz of silver! Even I have to admit I am a knuckle head for liking an buying those 3/4 gram worlds smallest gold coins, but 11 large for 100 oz of silver, you can get 100 oz block easy right now for say 3850, maybe 3800, and considering silver is lingering around 37 bucks an oz.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Amazing-1-Gram-...em4aa9c763caEven if you sold all 2800 one day for 8 bucks each, it would not be worth all the listings, ebay, paypal, and shipping fees.... It is like when Kramer and Newman came up with the bottle recycling scheme, it only computed to profit, if they could us the postal van for the free gas to Michigan an back, and they did not factor in Jerry's mechanic stealing his Sab, and wrecking that van with JFK's golf clubs rof  ....

I think swrbxxx would be looking for 100-500 one gram bars (or 5s)... so I don't get alotta the replies  ... anyway; The CMC Mint has over 50 products in the one gram silver category, for about 2 bucks a gram in lots of 50. Here's a link to their most popular (?) Maple Leaf One Gram Bar, but they have many others (with various animals, mini coin styles etc etc.). Great promo giveaways, or wedding guest trinkets, or whatever is none of my business. I am NOT afilliated with this link in any way. Do not buy anything listed with mills/mils in the title... it be plated.  http://www.cmcmint.com/store/index....roducts_id=5>>>edited>>> re: spasmodic typos!Edited by IBGolden

they actually make 1 gram silver bars?
I have a 1 gram gold bar and it seems a little silly to me, much less silver that small. Sorry, just my opinion
Maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 ounce coin/bar might be of interest one day if silver keeps up the run to the moon!

^^^ ... and platinum and palladium and tanatlum and even copper etc etc. I would gladly take a silver dime or a 1 gram silver bar instead of a modern 2 bucks. If silver does run up to the moon?... a gram of silver won't seem that silly. And I have no problem buying any pm gram sizes... at spot.  |

You gotta remember, an oz of silver today is roughly the same price as an oz of gold was 40 years ago. Hawk- If you're gonna play around with metals, you better learn weights: Precious metal is troy: 24 grains to the dwt, 20 dwt/480 grains to the oz, 12 oz/5760 grains to the #. 31.103 grams to the oz. So for your 100 oz example, it would be 3110.3 one gram bars. Base metal is avoirdupois (kitchen weight): 437.5 grains to the oz, 16 oz/7000 grains to the #. 28.35 grams to the oz. |

My bad Fredd, I had learned that from you guys, but made mistake and got them backwards....
So, 3100 plus bars and that new site IBgolden posted shows a 2 dollar average, much better I guess at 6200 bucks for 100 oz of 1 gram silver bars....

Precious metal is troy: 24 grains to the dwt, 20 dwt/480 grains to the oz, 12 oz/5760 grains to the #. This ties in to coins. You may have heard the term "pound sterling". A British monetary £ was originally 1# of silver. A pennyweight (dwt) was the weight of a silver penny. As noted above, there are 20 dwt to an ounce, 12 ounces to the #, so 240 dwt to the pound. For reasons unknown, instead of making 20 pence (plural of penny) a denomination with an ounce of silver, and 12 of those making a pound sterling, they made 12 pence be a shilling, with 20 shillings to the pound. The end result is the same. There are 240 pence, each weighing a dwt, to the monetary £, and 240 penny weights to the weight #. Once you understand this, the old lsd (pound, shilling, pence abbreviations) makes a lot more sense. Trivial 1: Ancient coins included silver pence, too. The were called denarius, which is where the d of lsd came from. Trivial 2: When the US went to the small size cent in copper, it took a lot more copper than silver to make a cent/penny. As a result, a copper cent weighs almost exactly 2 dwt. |
