<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 1186713, member: 18828&quot;]It depends on the type of silver bar that you want to get.&nbsp; For example, 1-oz silver art bars are nice bars to collect, however, they are the most expensive 1-oz silver bars to purchase on ebay because you are dealing with rarity values since a lot of the different silver art bars are rare.&nbsp; With current silver spot price of $35, expect to pay between $45-$50 for a common minted 1-oz silver art bar.&nbsp; If it is a rare silver art bar, then it is going to cost you more if you buy (or win) one on ebay.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking to buy a regular 1-oz .999 generic silver bar such as an Engelhard or a Johnson Mathey brand on ebay, then you will still have to pay a premium for it but it will not be as big a premium as the one on a silver art bar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In reality, you will not be able to find a 1-oz silver bar of ANY kind on ebay for melt.&nbsp; If you do an ebay search for 1-oz silver bars on ebay, you will find that you will pay a premium for each one and that premium is going to be several dollars above the current spot price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The best place to buy 1-oz .999 generic silver bars for the lowest possible premium IMO is from a bullion dealer that is in your area.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking to buy a silver bar that is larger than 1-oz, then I still think that a local dealer can give you the best price for a particular sized bar.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; If there is a coin show in your area, then they can also be good places to buy silver bars for a low premium.&nbsp; More than likely, you will pay a silver premium on silver bars regardless of size and regardless of where you go to buy the silver bars from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
