Silver held in an IRA is less likely to be needed in barter or smaller transactions. Instead investors can focus on maximizing investment returns by getting the most silver for their money. As silver prices appreciate those additional ounces will significantly boost investment performance.

Now a word of caution when it comes to paying significantly more for a particular brand of 100 oz bar. Names such as Johnson Matthey and Engelhard are widely recognized and very popular. They are also no longer produced, as the companies behind them are no longer in business or have changed names. Paying a few cents additional premium to get bars with one of these names can perhaps be justified because the bars may well bring a few more cents when it is time to resell them. However, these bars should not be considered as collectibles and smart investors will avoid paying a bigger premium to get them. It may be that these bars are no longer made, but that does not mean they are scarce.

The best idea is to focus on bars produced by recognized refiners with a great reputation for quality. When you buy from Money Metals Exchange, you can be assured that is what you will get. Buyers have a good chance of getting an Engelhard or Johnson Matthey bar without paying much, if any, additional premium for it.
