Why Choose a 1 Kilo Silver Bar Over Other Sizes? 

There is only one question that every silver investor has to ask, and it depends on how efficient the premium is, how convenient the storage is, and the scale of investment. 

Lower premium per ounce 

The price of silver per troy ounce is actually lower than the price of a silver bar as the weight of bar increases. The one all-important financial consideration for a kilo bar is this. For the most part, the better the size of the silver bar, the lower the premium. This means a single larger bar may cost less for a large amount of the product than a lot of smaller silver bars for the same amount of silver, due to the higher cost per ounce for each of the smaller pieces. 

That's why BOLD Precious Metals is recognized for their low premium silver bars in all weights sold. If you are looking to invest in silver, but not necessarily use it to design or collect, our silver bars at low premiums, 1 kilo, will offer you more physical silver per dollar invested than nearly every other silver item listed on this page. 

The right middle ground for serious investors 

If you invest in larger silver, a bigger silver bar, like a kilo bar, is better because it provides you with more silver. The 1 kilo format is more substantial than the more popular 1 oz Silver Bars and 10 oz Silver Bars, but is more manageable and easier to easily take apart, or cash in for smaller transactions, than the larger 100 oz format. 

Design variety unmatched by other large formats 

If you're looking to purchase silver in bulk, you'll find the most designs, styles and finishes available in 1Kg silver bars. All over the world, refineries have noticed the demand for 1 kilo weights, and silver bars were refined to cater for that demand. The 100 oz format is more of a standard across the different refiners, while kilo bars have unique designs from dozens of mints around the world — providing collectors and investors a sense of choice to make a meaningful selection. 

When a different size makes more sense 

The heaviest denominations of weight are typically the most cost-effective way to acquire more silver as cheaply as possible — however, the smaller denominations are convenient to purchase cheaply and can be more flexible if you want to invest in small amounts. If you prefer to buy smaller amounts of silver frequently and can't afford to store large quantities, the 1 oz and 10 oz silver bars might be a better choice. If you're looking to buy silver at the lowest premium possible by the ounce at the highest scale, the 100 oz silver bars are an option to consider next to the kilo bars.

Cast vs. Minted 1 Kilo Silver Bars — Which Should You Buy? 

When you know how something is made, you can select the bar that most perfectly fits your needs: either premium or appearance. 

Minted (pressed) kilo bars 

Minted ingots are very pure silver bars. Each one starts out as part of a longer cast silver bar which is fed into a stamping press. The press is computer controlled, which precisely cuts a silver bar with sharp and fine edges and, at the same time, stamps a beautiful design into the surface of the bar. Minted gold coins usually feature more elaborate designs and exhibit a high gloss finish. Minted bars are the best choice for buyers looking for a silver purchase with a polished and detailed design; PAMP Suisse's Rosa design is a popular option that brings together elegant design and investment credibility. 

Cast (poured) kilo bars 

Cast bars are created by pouring molten silver into a mold and letting it cool down naturally, thereby giving it a more individual surface texture typical of the traditional method of bullion production. Once melted and cast into molds, the silver is allowed to cool and hand-stamped with designs (incuse) on the obverse. The lines, striations and other textures will be apparent as the silver is cooled and settled in the mold. Since there is no pressing machine used in the production of cast bars, they are often less expensive than poured minted bars, which is why they are appealing to investors who are looking for the lowest premium. 

Which to choose 

When looking for the lowest premium, you'll usually find that cast bars from well-known refiners have the highest silver purity for the lowest dollar. If you're looking for a more polished look, which is more important if you plan to pass the bar down the line for display, gift or sale to an arts-minded person, then minted bars offered by reputable mints, such as PAMP Suisse or Sunshine Mint, feature that refinement at a relatively small premium. 

Secondary Market 1 Kilo Bars — What to Know Before Buying 

Secondary market bars can be worn down, with scratches and oxidations, but they still contain the same amount of silver and have the same value. This is a crucial difference for consumers shopping around for the best price: a secondary market kilo bar with lower price than a brand new sealed bar doesn't necessarily mean it's a poor purchase if the silver content and the weight are verified and authentic. 

It's important to note that these kilo bars are from well-known brands, such as the Royal Canadian Mint, PAMP, Heraeus and others. Carefully select secondary market bars from trusted refiner names that can be given a serial number and purity markings on the bar; don't take them from less familiar names or from bars without purity markings and serial numbers, even if they are cheaper. 

BOLD Precious Metals lists all of its kilo bars, and it's easy to tell if it's a new bar or a secondary market, and even the condition notes are visible on all of the bars, so you know precisely what you are buying prior to checkout. 

Is a 1 Kilo Silver Bar a Good Investment? 

This is not a sales pitch, it's a sincere and impartial response. 

The case for kilo bars 

Silver bars are a good means of holding value. Silver maintains its value over time, unlike paper currencies, which can be subject to fluctuations and devaluations. Physical silver bars are held by individuals and represent a tangible asset, which can be easily sold off compared to other assets of value. High liquidity – these bars are convertible to cash easily or can be used for home delivery, or storage in a private vault, giving flexibility and security to investors. 

If your only goal is to buy some big silver bars at an affordable price, the 1-kilo bars are ideal because you'll have more silver in your investment than smaller bars, and they'll keep you in the investment-grade silver club, where their size is recognized around the world. 

Many of our customers purchase silver for investment as part of a larger investment portfolio that includes purchasing silver bars in small denominations alongside the larger kilo bars, which are more cost effective, but less liquid. Since BOLD holds kilo silver bars from a number of investment grade silver bars producers you will never be restricted to just one refiner when adding to this portion of your portfolio. 

An honest consideration 

As with any investment, there are risks and rewards associated with investing in silver. Prior to making significant choices, we recommend doing extensive research, taking into account market conditions and consulting a financial advisor. Silver prices also vary according to industrial demand, monetary policy and market conditions — the value of a kilo bar will follow the spot price of silver and it is imperative that any buyer of significant amounts of capital realises that the value of silver is volatile. 

Liquidity — can you sell a kilo bar easily? 

Yes. Kilo bars from reputable refiners are generally accepted and traded by big bullion dealers all over the country, including BOLD's Sell To Us program. It's a size that's neither too big nor too small — big enough that it warrants dealers' interest, but small enough that it can be offered at once and sold in one simple transaction, as opposed to selling the bar on a single large unit which would require a special buyer or a large split of the bar. 

How to Store Your 1 Kilo Silver Bars 

Storage is important to ensure that your investment is not damaged, not only physically, but also in terms of re-sale value. 

Original packaging is important — Use original kilo bars in their capsule, assay card or sealed packaging if possible. For instance, PAMP Suisse kilo bars are presented in capsule with assay, which offers a veritable resale advantage in the future, since buyers would rather have undisturbed bars with an assay that has been sealed in the original format. 

Unlike many collectables, silver, over time, tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. Keep kilo bars in a cool dry place, preferably in the original sealed packaging that prevents the bars from coming into contact with air. 

Security of very large collections – The value of a large collection is so significant that a fireproof home safe with a bolt-on mechanism, or professional vault storage, is highly recommended as a precautionary measure for securing items on substantial collections. BOLD Precious Metals also has bullion storage services for those with larger quantities who would prefer to keep their precious metals in a safe location not directly operated by BOLD. 

Handling — Handle kilo bars by the edges, which will reduce the amount of surface area that comes in contact with your fingers, which will help reduce the possibility of spotting overtime, especially if you plan to resell the bars in pristine condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the quantity of silver in 1 kilo bar in troy ounces? 

The weight of silver is 32.1507 troy ounces per kilogram which is typically rounded to 32.15 troy ounces per kilogram in product descriptions. This makes it a very efficient format to buy silver, especially if you want to build a large silver portfolio in a lot less individual silver bars, than a 1 oz or even 10 oz bar. The number of troy ounces is displayed on the BOLD Precious Metals product page for each 1 kilo silver bar. 

Q2: Do 1Kg silver bars cost less per ounce as compared with smaller bars? 

Yes. As the weight of a bar increases, the cost of silver per troy ounce actually comes in lower than a 1 oz silver bar. In general, the higher the bar size, the lower the price of the bar, purchasing a single larger bar may be less expensive for a bulk purchase than a multitude of smaller bars because of the premium price per ounce on each bar. This is one of the most efficient and economical means of purchasing significant silver content, behind only the highest-quality 100 oz bars. 

Q3 What is the difference between a cast and minted 1 kilo silver bar? 

The ingots are minted from a bar of silver which is cast in a longer bar and then fed into a computer-controlled stamping press that cuts the bar to the correct size and stamps the design onto its surface, leaving sharp, refined edges and a high gloss finish. Cast bars are bars that are produced by pouring molten silver into molds and letting it cool on the mold, which creates a more individual, sometimes rougher surface texture. The no-pressing process of cast bars makes them oftentimes less expensive than minted bars. Both types have the same .999 fine silver purity and the only difference is in aesthetics and premium. 

Q4: Are 1 kilo silver bars IRA eligible? 

Yes, IRA eligible kilo silver bars are available to long-term appreciating and diversifying in a precious metals IRA. Of course, these bars can be used in precious metals IRAs and they do meet the minimum .999 fine silver purity requirement. Bars 1 kilo silver in size from known refiners meet this requirement. Talk with your IRA custodian about any special storage and reporting needs that might apply to your precious metals IRA. BOLD Precious Metals can assist in determining which particular kilo bar listings are IRA qualified. 

One of the most popular queries customers have with BOLD Precious Metals is for silver bars for sale, and the 1 kilo size is among the most popular sizes requested for this purpose. 

Q5: Who manufactures 1 kg bars of silver? 

Kilo silver bars are from a very reputable mint such as the Royal Canadian Mint, PAMP, Heraeus amongst others. Other well-known refiners who make kilo bars include Johnson Matthey, Scottsdale Mint, Asahi, and other sovereign and private mints around the world. At its facility in Jackson, Ohio, the nation's largest gold and silver refiner, Ohio Precious Metals (OPM), manufactures silver kilo bars from 100% recycled silver. BOLD Precious Metals offers kilo bars from several well-known refiners, enabling them to choose for brand recognition, design choice, or premium. 

Q6: Is it safe to buy secondary market 1 kilo silver bars? 

Yes, if you buy it from a trusted dealer. The physical condition of a secondary market bar – if it is still in good condition, it may have some scratches or oxidation, but the silver content and value of the bar will not be affected. Safeguards include purchasing from a reputable dealer, checking on the refiner's name (if included) and any serial numbers, and the stamped weight and purity markings on the bar itself. BOLD Precious Metals clearly marks new and secondary market kilo bar listings, as well as the notes on the condition of the bars, to ensure you know exactly what you're buying. 

Q7: If you were to invest in a 1 kilo silver bar versus a 100 oz bar, which one would be better? 

They have good premium efficiency, and they're better for slightly different investors. A 100 troy ounce silver bar offers advantages for investors who have surpassed the 1 kilo size and value a high-volume of investments, and in general may have lower ounce premiums compared to smaller bars, typically selected by investors with long-term investment plans, simplicity of storage, and efficiency. The 1 kilo bar (32.15 oz) is about one-third as expensive as a 100 oz bar per unit, and still retains most of the per-ounce capital savings associated with large-format bars. If you are a slow investor then kilo bars are a convenient option between 10 oz bars and the largest 100 oz format. 

Q8: How to check the authenticity of a 1 kilo silver bar? 

Make sure that the bar has the refiner's stamp logo, the weight (32.15 troy oz or 1kg), and purity (.999 fine). The kilo bars that are of good repute will have a recognized mint mark and a serial number for verified bars. Check the precision scale to ensure that the bar is the exact weight stated, any deviation in a meaningful way is a bad sign! Consider good edge finishings and uniformity of style consistent with the manufacturer's claimed bar. The best way to avoid getting ripped off is to buy from a well-known, trusted dealer, as BOLD Precious Metals has been serving United States bullion buyers since 2015 and all of our kilo bars are backed by us. 

Q9: How can you store 1 kilo silver bars in various ways, including safe-deposit boxes, safety deposit boxes, or bank vaults? 

If possible, retain the capsule and/or the assay card and/or the sealed packaging containing the kilo bars, as this will maintain the authentication qualities and ease of eventual resale. Keep bars away from heat, humidity and air, as silver can tarnish after prolonged exposure. In the case of larger properties, a home safe with fire protection or a professional vault storage facility is highly suggested because each bar has a significant amount of value. BOLD Precious Metals also provides bullion storage for customers who wish to store them off-site securely.

Q10: What is the current price of a 1 kilo silver bar? 

The price of a 1 kilo silver bar moves directly with the live silver spot price, which fluctuates by the second based on investment supply and demand and other market factors. The bar's total price equals the current spot price per troy ounce multiplied by 32.15 troy ounces, plus a premium that varies based on the specific refiner, whether the bar is cast or minted, and whether it is new or secondary market.
