The 100 ounce bar sits at the point where premiums drop off sharply and the piece is still easy to handle and store. Asahi Refining is a COMEX-approved name with refining operations in North America, and its bars move quickly on the resale market for that reason. These are new bars, and they ship in one of two varieties depending on current stock.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 100 troy ounces (3,110.35 grams) of .999 fine silver
- Metal Type: Investment-grade silver refined by Asahi Refining
- Struck Variety: Brushed face with the Asahi chevron logo and serial number
- Cast Variety: Poured surface with the oval assayer hallmark
The struck bar has a squared profile with rounded corners and a lightly brushed face. The chevron Asahi logo sits at the top over ASAHI, then REFINING and USA in smaller lettering. Lower down, the face reads 100 TOZ, FINE SILVER, and 999, with a unique serial number pressed into a recessed rectangular panel near the base. The reverse is plain.
The cast bar looks entirely different. It is poured rather than pressed, so the top surface carries the gentle ripples and dimpled texture that come from silver cooling in an open mold, and the sides taper slightly. Near the top sits an oval hallmark reading ASAHI, ASSAYERS REFINERS, with SLC stamped beneath it for the Salt Lake City refinery. The weight 100 TOZ and purity .999 are struck into the lower portion alongside a second oval hallmark.
Both varieties carry the same silver content and the same .999 purity guarantee from the refiner. New bars arrive with bright, unhandled surfaces, though poured bars will always show more surface variation than struck ones by nature of how they are made. Bars ship in protective plastic, and variety cannot be selected on this listing.
For anyone building position in silver, this format gives you the lowest cost per ounce short of buying sealed monster boxes, backed by a refiner that dealers recognize on sight. Add one to your order today and we will ship it insured and discreetly packaged.

Just got my 2 new ASAHI 100 TOZ loaf bars in the mail… Nothing more than bulk silver at a VERY low premium. Perfect! NOT super pretty….but I didn’t need or even want pretty. Just a bigger bar at a very fair price. Thank You HERO Bullion for delivering exactly what I wanted, fast!

Bar design is nice and well wrapped. However, there are a lot of deep dents and scratches which took away the “beauty” of it. I also collect the Germania bars and they are always consistent, although they are a few dollars more.

Beautiful bar…the images don’t do it justice. The surface finish is smooth on all sides. Herobullion was super quick on the shipping…ordered on a Tuesday, wired money same day…bar arrived the following Friday. Thank you!
