25.42 Ounce Bar of 999+ fine Silver from M-2 Refining | Sterling Silver848 of 956 |  |  |

This is an "ultra pure" bar at 999+ fine from a very scarce, seldom seen refiner from the western U.S. It's kinda neat that I own another bar from a different refiner that weighs the exact same as this 25.42 ounce piece. I guess you could say I "have a thing" for large chunks of pure silver. It's actually an "addiction". But I'm certain there are worse things to be addicted to. This is actually quite a pleasant addiction.

I own drew refining silver bars in various weights (5,10,25 and 100 oz)
Thinkimg about selling some, any suggestions?
evert,
Try to sell them on eBay. Bidders pay a premium over spot price to own silver bars (higher premium for old pour style). There is also a $50 final value fee limit so even if you sold your 100z for $1500, you would only have to pay a $50 fee.
