Compare live prices →History
Generic silver bars are produced by a wide range of private mints and refiners — including Sunshine Minting, Asahi Refining, Royal Canadian Mint, JM Bullion's house brand, and many more. The 10 oz size emerged as a sweet spot in the 1970s and 1980s: large enough to enjoy a low premium, small enough to be easy to handle, stack, and resell.
