What is silver bar collecting?  Is there really people that do this?  Yes.  Beyond investors who buy and hold silver, speculating that they can resell the precious metal for more in the future, there is a lesser known group of enthusiasts who collect silver bars, for fun and profit.

With the typical silver bars, the pamp suisse, and default bars with simple inscriptions of 999 and a certificate of authenticity, are the more beautiful bars.  These have fine carvings of Buffalos, Indian Heads, Maple Leafs, and many others.  Everything from Coca-Cola to marijuana leaves.

Some of these bars are made by well known mints, such as Canada's or America's Mint, but many are manufactured by private individuals, or private mints, such as the Sunshine Mint.

The only warning. Some deceptive sellers will sell bars that are "art bars" or "copy" or "replica". Do not purchase these. If they are selling way below market value, be suspicious and cautious. If unsure ask the seller or get a second opinion. Legally, they can sell the replicas, but it is illegal for them to claim it is real silver if it is not.

If you see these real silver bars, snatch them up because they will always hold their value of at least the current market price for silver, but above and beyond that they have what is known as intrinsic value.  Intrinsic value is the collectible value of the bar, which other collector's are willing to pay more for based upon rarity or the story behind the bar.
