On this page, you’ll find helpful information about the history of silver bars, the advantages of buying 1 kilo silver bars, and some of the most popular 1 kilo silver bars Hero Bullion has to offer.

History of Silver Bars

Most silver collectors don’t know that silver has sometimes been more valuable than gold. Historians believe that the first instances of silver being used as a sign of wealth go all the way back to 2,000 BC.

Egyptian leaders actually valued silver higher than gold; gold was much easier to find in that part of the world during this time period. It wasn’t until around 300 B.C. that Egyptians standardized silver as a usable currency.

Silver bars have been used to store wealth for over 4,000 years, and the precious metal is still a favorite for millions of investors today. Silver as an investment is a bit newer.

During the 1980s, silver bars became one of the preferred investments in the commodities market. Today, most major mints produce their own pure silver bars. It’s never been easier for the average investor to buy pure silver in the form of silver bars.

Kilo silver bars might have been around for a long time, but they haven’t always been a commodity available to non-bank purchasers. We’re proud to carry on a thousand-year tradition of silver bars by offering a wide variety of 1 kilo silver bars from around the world to our customers.

Why Buy 1 Kilo Silver Bars?

Many silver stackers prefer 1 kilo silver bars because of their relatively low premium over spot. While these large silver bars don’t offer the aesthetic appeal of a coin like the Silver Eagle, they allow investors to acquire a large amount of pure silver without paying an additional premium on top of the actual price of the metal.

Because silver bars offer such a classic look, some investors also prefer to stack using silver bars. After all, it’s always been a sign of impressive wealth to have a safe full of pure silver bars!

Hero Bullion offers reasonable prices on all of our silver bars. We prefer to keep the premium over spot as low as possible on these products, because we understand how they’re used to stack silver by savvy investors.

Advantages of Buying 1 Kilo Silver Bars

There are several reasons why so many investors prefer to buy 1 Kilo Silver Bars. In this section, we’ll primarily be comparing silver bars to silver coins. After all, new investors often wonder: is it better to buy silver bars or silver coins? Here are a few reasons why seasoned investors all over the world like to spend their money on 1 kilo silver bars: 

Low Premium Over Spot

This is the main reason why investors prefer 1 kilo silver bars. The total cost to purchase a silver bar is significantly lower than the cost of purchasing most government-backed silver coins. Especially if you’re purchasing a lot of silver at once, this can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in total savings when compared to coins or rounds.

Convenient Storage

Silver bars often require less up-front investment when it comes to storage costs. Bars can be stacked on top of one another and held in a safe. Coins are generally valued for their condition as well as their silver content, which means spending more money and time arranging them to avoid damage. Many dealers also offer silver storage services, which takes the guesswork out of the silver storage process.

Classic Look

Silver bars aren’t visually appealing to everyone. But for many investors, it’s beautiful to see a large stack of 1 kilo silver bars sitting in the vault.

Disadvantages of Buying 1 Kilo Silver Bars

While 1 kilo silver bars are very popular among silver stackers, this investment model still comes with its inconveniences. For most people, buying silver bars means sacrificing design and beauty for value. Two main cons to buying Kilo Silver Bars include difficult resale and potential quality concerns. 

Difficult Resale

It can sometimes be harder to find buyers for your silver bars than for popular silver coins, such as the Britannia or the Silver Maple. Depending on which silver bars you purchase, it may also be more difficult to prove the legitimacy of your silver bar.

Silver coins are highly recognizable; every coin dealer knows what an authentic Britannia looks like, for example. Still, many investors liquidate their 1 kilo silver bars every year, and many mints (including Hero Bullion) have generous buyback systems to help you liquidate your stock of silver bars.

Quality Concerns

This is a disadvantage that hinges on the reputation of the mint investors choose to do business with. It can often be harder to spot fake silver bars than to clock a counterfeit popular silver coin. Some mints also cut corners when minting their silver bars, which can lead to an ugly or impure final product. Hero Bullion only offers the highest quality 1 kilo silver bars possible, which takes some of the risk out of this process.

Popular Silver Bars

Because of the long history of silver bars being used to store wealth, almost every major mint offers 1 kilo silver bars. It would take all day for us to walk readers through every silver bar currently on the market. We’ve selected just a few of the most popular 1 kilo silver bars sold by Hero Bullion.
