Silver bars have been a popular store of value for millennia. Their usage dates all the way back to Ancient Egypt at a time when silver was actually more valuable than gold due to its relative scarcity in the region. Ever since, silver bars have been regularly purchased, traded, and sold by investors looking to increase their portfolio exposure to this valuable precious metal.
The value of a silver bar is directly determined by the price of the precious metal. The various factors impacting silver prices are in constant fluctuation which results in an ever-changing value for silver bars. However, silver has earned a reputation as a stable asset and a reliable store of value because of its relatively steady price action over time. Silver bars tend to maintain their value even during times of economic uncertainty which is especially important to investors.
When determining the value of a specific silver bar, appraisers will take various factors into account including the bar's size, mint, shape, design, and the price of silver at the time. The value of a 1 oz. silver bar, one of the most popular versions, based on today's spot price of silver is $31.20.
