Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 11:05 am I notice that certain "brands" of silver bars sell for more. I was sitting duck on ebay looking at some and saw an APMEX 10 ounce bar go for $170 plus $15 shipping and at the same time I saw a APM 10 ounze bar go for $152 with $10 shipping. Is there a specific reason some brands go for much more than others despite both being .999 silver? Edited by Sleaklight 11/05/2007 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

If there is a trend, it may just boil down to confidence in the manufacturer's name. I haven't seen it with bars, but with rounds not all manufacturers put a full oz. of silver in their rounds. I found out the hard way when the bargain rounds weighed out at .92 oz. Now I would only by Engelhard or Sunshine mining. With both of these, buyers pay without scaling. Report this Post to the Staff

Out of curiosity I may pick up a bar of each and weigh them to see if there are any weight differences Yeah with rounds I agree. I picked up some no name ones and weight less than the ounce.
