The history of Silver bullion
Silver bullion has been the basis of many monetary systems and was, for a long time, considered to be second in value only to Gold. The Silver bar would come later, but initially Silver, in the form of a Gold-Silver alloy coin, was used as money around 700 B.C. by the Lydians. Silver, like that found in this 5 oz Silver bar, continued to be a major player in currencies until the discovery of large deposits of Silver in the Americas in the 19th century which generated fear of a price drop in Silver and, in turn, currency, which led most to switch to the Gold standard by 1900. Silver bars are now the most affordable of the major investment Precious Metals: Platinum, Gold, Palladium and Silver.
Why invest in Silver bullion?
This 5 oz Silver bar gives you an attractive and efficient way to invest in .999 fine Silver bars, ideal for the investor focused primarily on raw Silver value but who is also drawn to classic design. These Silver bars feature a patriotic American eagle motif, adding a touch of beauty to bullion content. This Silver bar comes sealed in plastic to protect its finish and design. This Silver bullion, offered at a low premium over the Silver spot price, also features a deep-mirror proof-like finish.
The type of Silver bullion you buy should always be driven by your individual investment goals.
Whether you purchase Silver bars or Silver coins depends on your investment goals. Many investors buy Silver bars in as large a quantity as possible at that time. For some, Silver bar purchases will be 5 oz Silver bars and for others, 50 oz bars. Some will forego Silver bullion and focus on Silver coins because they are also taking into consideration numismatic collector value. They prefer Silver coins to a 5 oz Silver bar, because although they are paying a slightly higher premium over the Silver spot price, they have a coin that allows them to hold a little piece of history in their hands.

I must say I am very pleased with how fast I receive my purchases.Ive purchased from other dealers and shipments aren't near as prompt as APMEX. APMEX will receive the bulk of my orders.
Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Attractive Design
- Easy to Sell
The good - If you want to make your silver pile heavy, these are a great way to make that happen. They have both a low price over spot and fall into the sweet spot for the majority of us that can only afford buying in increments of a few hundred a month. The bad - low price over spot means these are pretty basic. Nothing says class like having a web address stamped into precious metal. A (.com) belongs on a business card, not a 5oz. bar that belongs in a dark safe and won't fit in a wallet. The ugly - sides have pressure marks from being sheered in the manufacturing process. Everything considered, I really like these bars and they are a great way to gradually build a precious metal portfolio. Apmex is fantastic!

This 5oz bar is my first purchase from APMEX and I'm very impressed with the quality of the product, competiveness of the price and speed of delivery. This is not the first time I have bought silver, but, as a small investor, it is the most satisfying. APMEX offers many options to invest even for us little guys.

Looking to expand my silver holdings beyond coins and rounds. 5 oz is a GREAT starting point, small enough for the average collector to buy yet large enough to have some heft to it. Fits perfectly in Air-Tites, great for stacking! I have 10 so far, I'd rate 9 of them as being perfect, 1 had a slight blemish but still very good!
Pros

My desire to own a silver bar is what got me started. I'm a simple working class guy who likes shiny metals and I thought this 5oz bar was Beautiful. So I bought the 5oz because I wanted to start off small but w/a little weight to it, it looked great and felt good to hold now I'm hooked!!!

Buy Silver and hold Precious Metals at a lower price point than Platinum, Gold or Palladium.
Silver bullion is priced lower than Gold bullion due to perception, demand and rarity (although some people would debate whether Gold is rarer than Silver). The current price of a Silver bar is about 70 times less than Gold bar prices, with some experts positing that the ratio should be 17 to 1. The lower price of Silver bars versus Gold bars can also be attributed to the fact that Gold is more difficult to mine and requires a purification process. Buying Silver, like this 5 oz bar of Silver, allows investors to get in Precious Metals at a lower price point.
