Diversification and Divisibility

Ten ounce silver bars are a common way to diversify a portfolio that mainly includes larger bars, such as the 100 ounce size. This enables investors to sell off a relatively small portion of their investment. The relatively small size of these bars means they could be useful in the event of a currency devaluation; they could more easily be traded for goods or services than 100-ounce bars.

This size is widely traded, making it easy to find ten ounce silver bars. Investment grade bars containing 10 ounces of 99.9% pure silver are made by many mints, including NTR Metals, Sunshine Minting, Johnson Matthey, Royal Canadian Mint, and Engelhard.

Each ten ounce silver bar is made of 99.9% silver and measures approximately 46mm by 90mm, and 7.6mm thick. This makes them about the size of a smartphone.

They carry the name of the mint, as well as the purity and weight of the bar. Otherwise, the design varies from mint to mint.

Storage

Generally, these bars are designed to be flat and easily stacked. 10 oz silver bars are easy to store when compared with smaller sizes; most investors find it easier to store several larger bars than dozens of smaller 1 oz bars.

Some 10-ounce silver bars come from the mint sealed inside a plastic case to protect them from tarnishing and scratches, while others are sent loose.
