Why 250g Silver Bars Hold Their Value
Each 250g silver bar contains just over 8 troy ounces of fine silver. Thanks to their relatively compact size, they're easy to store, transport, and sell. Many are produced by internationally recognised refiners such as:
- PAMP Suisse
- Metalor
- Umicore
- Valcambi
- Scottsdale
- The Royal Mint
Each bar typically carries a purity of .999 or .9999, with the weight, purity, and mint mark stamped directly on the bar. These markings help confirm authenticity, but even if yours is unmarked or unfamiliar, we can test it and provide a reliable valuation.
Larger than 1 oz bars but more manageable than 1 kg bullion, the 250g bar offers a balance of liquidity and metal value. It's particularly popular among investors who prefer to spread their holdings across multiple smaller bars rather than one large block.
Do I Need to Know the Brand or Purity?
No, you don’t need to be an expert. Many silver bars are easily identifiable, but even if yours isn't, we use professional X-ray fluorescence testing to confirm purity and composition. Whether it's a recognised brand or not, we'll provide a fair, honest valuation based on the silver content.
We buy:
- Minted or cast bars
- Branded or generic bars
- Tarnished, unsealed, or lightly damaged bars
- Multiple bars or mixed lots
What Happens After I Send My Bar?
Once we receive your item, everything moves quickly:
- We test and weigh your bar the same day (Mon–Fri).
- You'll receive a valuation based on that day's live silver price.
- As soon as you accept, your payment is issued the same day - no delays.
There are no hidden fees or deductions for handling or testing. The price we quote is the amount you'll receive in your bank account.
