There are many types of bars: minted ingots, pressed bars, cast bars, hand-poured bars...
They come in varying weights, shapes, and sizes.
Countless private mints (and now government mints), and manufacturers around the world produce these bars.
In the past silver bars have lower premiums than silver coins, but not anymore. More and more silver bars are priced like silver coins. And sometimes they have higher premiums, such as in the case of hand-poured silver.
I used to be able to find bargains in 1 oz silver bars. Today, finding great deals on 1 oz silver bars is challenging.
Hand-poured bars are especially pricey today.
We may have to skip this year's 2025 Hive Round.
Those of us who got the 2023 Hive Round and 2024 Hive Round for HBDs were lucky!
This was one of the responses I got upon negotiating for our 2025 Hive Bar:
I'll keep on trying!

This just goes to prove that the art of pouring silver is a labor of love, a passion and a hobby.
Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso died poor.
However, most Silver Pourers are also Stackers.
If only Pablo Picasso was a Stacker.

I don't know how much we are willing to pay. And the 3 guys I talked to would not want to do it for a price if the numbers are not guaranteed. In essence, I buy it all and pass it to whoever wants to buy it. I use myself as a gauge. And I am not willing to pay the price!

“I used to be able to find bargains in 1 oz silver bars. Today, finding great deals on 1 oz silver bars is challenging.“
Talking factz! It’s all changed and now we pay top dollar premium for bars and most rounds. Oh I remember 2017 when we had .79 cent premium sales or $1.29 1 ounce bar premiums. The good ole days 🪙

I totally get it. Pouring silver is an expensive hobby. People don’t realize what is needed to pour and how much that stuff costs. Not only that but many things are one time use only, which makes it worse.
When before we could say, "Yeah, I buy a Hive Round, it's just a little premium anyway!"... now the premiums are so high, we think twice before buying!
Thanks for your comment, @silverd510!

No rest for the wicked, work appears from all angles, still managing thanks for asking. Trust you will find someone to mint your requirements.
Hand pour I believe is tedious, makes it expensive with very few doing the trade.

Wow...... @silversaver888!!🙄
Everything is going up in price, that's really what the central banks want anyway......🙄
I remember purchasing silver bars as a kid for $1.99 I just checked Kitco and they ask price is $36.24 this morning. It was even higher last night.......
Silver spot is up, so naturally it is higher in price. I'll try to negotiate it down... but I don't know!

Sad but it all makes sense - hard work and increasing costs will make this a hobby and not a money maker, unfortunately.
