Silver Bars
In the UK, silver bullion bars are subject to VAT, which removes much of their investment potential. In addition, the production cost of silver ingots is relatively higher than for gold bars. We would recommend gold bars or coins, which are now exempt from VAT, and which we offer on our other specialist website Tax Free Gold.
For information, silver bullion bars are invariably .999 silver, which means 999 parts per thousand pure.
We do sometimes have a small selection of special 1 ounce bars, minted with different commemorative themes.
The most common size of bars we get are:-

Silver Bars Plus VAT
We can now get a regular supply of silver bars on a plus VAT basis, which would be useful for any VAT registered person or business. Please see our One Kilo Silver Bars page.

Silver Bullion Coins
We list a variety of silver bullion coins on our Silver Bullion Coins page.
We sell these by type and by date. On most of them, we also offer lower prices for bulk buyers. Because there is VAT on silver coins in the UK and EU, silver bullion coins are not as attractive an investment as gold bullion coins, which are now exempt from VAT.
Often, we are able to offer second-hand silver bullion coins, at an inclusive price, the only VAT being on our small margin. We can offer these at an attractive price provided they are bought as bullion coins, not collectors coins. By this we mean that we supply whatever we have available at the time, the buyer does not get a choice of date or type. Most coins will not be in strict uncirculated condition, but none will be badly worn or damaged.

Maria Theresa Silver Bullion Coins
We describe Maria Theresa Thalers on their own page.
As with the modern ten ounce silver bullion coins, we occasionally have quantities of "second-hand" Maria Theresa Thalers. Again, these are usually not strict uncirculated coins, they will have some scuffing or bag marking, but will not be circulated or badly damaged.
All will be dated 1780, but are official restrikes.
We will repeat their specifications here, as you will see, they contain almost exactly 3/4 troy ounces of pure silver:-
