When I was in a South Dakota coin shop a few years ago, he had a 500 oz'er. I thought that was heavy!

Amazing, didn't realize they came that big. Also didn't realize folks had that much money to shell out!

I can't afford to have dollar signs in front of my eyes, only cents signs.

To that end, my safe is has 10 lead bars in it, each weighing about 10 kilogrammes. Mind you, 100 kilogrammes of lead ain't all that cheap!

Takes up a little less space than silver bars anyway.

If I did the math right, that thing is about 720 pounds! I think the shipping is going to be a bit high...

Fuzzy-

Correct, tho not necessary.

CPC24-

Decimal slip, it's 72.01 standard #. There's a reason for that calculation. Sometimes these are light enough to ship by USPS, which is cheaper (much cheaper with priority fat rat).

All-
What you are over is priced high for the date, which I can't imagine anyone collecting by. It will prolly be bought by a Clueless Gnubee™.

This is called a good delivery bar, meeting standards that are demanded by the exchange. If you buy one contract of silver and take delivery, you get five of them:

Quote:
Silver bars

Fineness: minimum of 999.0 parts per thousand silver

Marks: serial number, refiner's hallmark, fineness, year of manufacture, weight (optional)

Silver content: 750 oz t - 1100 oz t (900 oz t - 1050 oz t recommended)

Recommended dimensions

Length (top): 250 -- 350 mm
Width (top): 110 -- 150 mm
Height: 60 -- 100 mm

Basically, it's the cheapest per oz way to buy silver, carrying no premium, because it's just a block of silver. Unless you're collecting by date, there's no reason to pay a $6000 premium (heck, I can remember when $6000 would buy a bar!)--you could buy 1000 ASE cheaper!

rarity commands the premium, i'd bet the price would be much lower if APMEX has 100 to sell as oppose to the one at the moment.
