<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1273842, member: 29012&quot;]As Silver Art said, Engelhard and Johnson-Matthey are the top of the line for bars. I think they&#039;re the only ones that put serial numbers on their bars (at least most manufactuers don&#039;t do this), and the added security of authenticity helps their resale value. I have some bars from the Northwest Territorial Mint, and was offered 2 cents over spot for a 10 oz by one of my local dealers. Another dealer gives 50 cents under spot for 10 oz, and 70 cents under for 100 oz. Many undercut a full dollar per oz. As far as I can tell, 1 oz to 10 oz is pretty much the same, but the 100 oz is cheaper on both ends of the transaction. When I bought some in 2008 the 1 oz had a higher premium than 5 oz and 10 oz, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be the case any longer. I&#039;m not a big fan of 100 oz. They&#039;re slightly cheaper, but they&#039;re mostly illiquid. For that much cash in one item I would rather have gold or platinum, but preferably 10 oz denominations of silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
