The bulk shelf

Choose the unit before you choose the dealer.

A 100 oz bar, ten 10 oz bars and one hundred rounds can represent the same silver weight, but they do not behave the same at checkout, in storage or when you sell.

Physical silver has no login screen or brokerage statement. That autonomy is real, and so are the duties to authenticate, secure, insure and eventually sell it.
