<p>[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2841525, member: 23778"]I have actually seen one pound of silver for sale but I think it was meant to deceive. Silver is always measured in troy ounces and pounds and there are only 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. This means it weighs less than an avoirdupois pound. But a lot of people would think that were getting the latter by ordering a pound and would be very upset when it arrived. I suspect this is the main reason that honest sellers never sell by the pound.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for larger bars, I have bought many 100oz silver bars over the years but I have not kept them. I actually had some of them made into 1 oz rounds as back then it was cheaper to buy the larger bar and pay to have the rounds made than it was to buy the rounds directly. Not sure if that is still true. The 1000 oz bars are never exactly 1000 oz. The are used only for large scale operations and, as far as I know, are the largest normally transacted and are always sold by weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
