<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1589368, member: 38783&quot;]IMHO the main difference is in possible resale of the bullion, to folks who don&#039;t know much about bars and their makers.&nbsp; Technically they should be the same in regards to purchase and resale, and there&#039;s no difference in the silver content, just the form factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some folks prefer the fact that ASE&#039;s (and Canadian Maples, etc) are government minted, and are usually much more known and respected as being genuine silver, and it&#039;s most likely that you have a lot more folks in the buying pool when it comes time to sell, who will trust it and buy at spot or above.&nbsp; Bars, some people may question the maker, the purity, and just prefer to stay away from them, so your resale pool may shrink compared to the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main thing I would say is if you&#039;re only buying for bullion, stay away from buying proof ASE&#039;s and &quot;art bars&quot;, since you will pay a much higher premium on average, since those are &quot;collectable&quot; compared to the bullion grade.&nbsp; Many people will debate the collectibility of what is essentially a bullion coin/bar, but the market is what it is for those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
