What is the price of a 1000 oz Silver Bar?
The price of a 1000 oz Silver bar is shown in the upper right section of this page. The price of all silver bars is calculated using three components:
- Silver spot price is the price of an ounce of pure silver available for immediate delivery or delivery “on the spot’. It is typically determined by the best bid and offer for silver as offered by large bullion banks trading in real-time throughout the world and quoted by data providers such as Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg.
- Weight and purity of silver. Most silver bars have a purity of 0.999 (purity), or 1,000 ounces of pure silver in each bar.
- Silver bar premium is the percentage adjustment that is added or deducted from the silver spot price. The premium on silver bars is determined by the costs of production, refining, fabrication, minting and the logistics of making the silver bars available for sale in the U.S. The price of a Silver bar is also impacted by supply and demand and the amount of bars of silver being bought.
In order to determine the price of a Silver bar, simply multiply the spot price of silver by the number of troy ounces in the Silver bar (1,000oz in this case) and then add or subtract the current premium for the bar.
How are 1000 oz Silver Bars made?
Silver bars are made in three different ways. Bars have a high-quality polished finish if they have been manufactured from larger silver sheets and then pressed and stamped by a minting process.
A cast bar is produced by pouring molten silver into a mold or die which then cools. The assay mark and description are then impressed into the front of the bar. These bars have a traditional bar look to them.
An extruded silver bar is made by heating silver metal and forcing it through a rectangular space. This creates a uniform length of bar which is then cut and stamped with an assay mark.
Silver minted bars are made from silver blanks. Minting bars mean that the bars look better - allowing for special designs. It is more expensive and requires a little more time and therefore means that minted bars have higher premiums and are usually seen in smaller silver bars (1 oz and 10 oz)

The History of Silver Bars
The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), headquartered in the City of London, is an international industry association for gold and silver bullion. One of its primary functions is the maintenance of the Good Delivery List (GDL) for refiners of both gold and silver.
The GDL is a set of refining standards that refiners must meet and uphold in order for their good delivery bars to be accredited by the LBMA. Good Delivery Bar specifications only cover large bars. For silver, this is known as the ‘1,000 oz silver bar’.
Therefore, in selecting a 1,000 oz silver bar for investment, it is prudent to invest in a bar that has been produced by a refiner who is on the LBMA’s Good Delivery List, since these refiners are recognised and trusted in the market. This is why GoldCore only sources 1,000 oz bars from such refiners.
Perth Mint 1000 oz Silver Bars
The Perth Mint 1000 oz silver bullion bar is a cast bullion bar with tapered corners and a highly polished finish. The bar has a purity of 99.9% pure silver and is stamped with the Mint’s well-known Swan logo, which is also the Mint’s assay mark registered with the LBMA.
Large silver bullion bars are one of the most cost effective ways of acquiring silver. The Perth Mint manufactures a range of silver bars in a range of sizes from 1oz to 1,000oz.
The 1000 oz silver bullion bars are stamped with The Perth Mint brandmark and include a serial number. Each bar is imprinted with a unique serial number as well as the weight ‘1000 ozs’ and fineness ‘999’. The Perth Mint bar is a sought after investment product.
The Perth Mint is fully owned by the State Government of Western Australia. The company operates Australia’s only gold refinery and also produces legal tender gold and silver coins on behalf of the Australian Commonwealth Government, and a range of silver and gold bar products.
The refinery is on the LBMA’s good delivery list for both gold and silver good delivery bars, and on the CME’s Comex approved refiners list for gold bars.
Royal Canadian Mint 1000 oz Silver Bars
The 1000 oz silver bar by Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) is 99.9% pure silver. This is sometimes referred to as ‘3 nines.’
These largest silver bars do not weigh exactly 1,000 ounces. Rather the weight varies from 995 to 1,005 ounce. Each beautiful bar is struck with its unique serial number, weight, purity, and the RCM seal.
RCM silver bars are backed and guaranteed by the Government of Canada. 1,000 oz. silver bars are COMEX acceptable/deliverable bars and are ideal when large purchases are being stored in precious metal depositories and secure international vaults.
The Royal Canadian Mint is a Canadian Crown Corporation whose sole shareholder is the Government of Canada. The Mint operates under Canadian legislation, and in addition to producing Canada’s circulating coinage, the RCM runs one of the world’s most respected gold and silver refineries in Ottawa, producing globally recognised high quality bullion bars.
The Royal Canadian Mint was founded in 1908 in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa. It operated as the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint until 1931 when it became known as the Royal Canadian Mint. It has been run as a Canadian Crown Corporation since 1969, and is fully owned by the Canadian Government.
After being closed for 23 years, the Mint’s silver refinery was reopened in 2006 following substantial new investment and now has a capacity of producing over 10 million ounces of silver per year.
The RCM is on the LBMA’s good delivery list for both gold and silver good delivery bars, and on the CME’s Comex approved refinery list for gold bars.

Johnson Matthey 1,000 +/- oz silver bars remain popular with investors and like other silver bars provide the lowest price over spot for Silver. The bars range in weight from 930 to 1,080 and pricing is based on the exact weight of each silver bar.
Each bar is identified by the refinery with the exact weight in troy ounces, the purity of .999 fine Silver, and the refinery’s hallmark along with the unique serial number stamped on its surface.
These bars are the size smelters pour, and as each bar cools, they are weighed and stamped. These bars are less polished than their smaller counterparts, and generally weigh between 930 and 1,080 ounces (approximately 70 pounds) on average.
Johnson Matthey has its global headquarters in Royston, Hertfordshire, just north of London. It is probably the oldest precious metals refiner in the world and can trace back its origins to 1817.
