100 oz Silver Bar - Ohio Precious Metals

100 troy ounces of .9995 fine silver — about 6.85 pounds, or 3.11 kilograms. It is the standard large-format retail silver bar and the most efficient way to hold silver by weight short of a 1,000 oz commercial bar.

OPM is a precious metals refinery based in Jackson, Ohio, accredited by the London Bullion Market Association. Their bars are widely recognized in the U.S. dealer market, which is what makes a branded bar easier to resell than an unmarked one. OPM is also known for refining recycled metal, and their bars carry a recycling mark.

OPM refines to a higher purity than the .999 minimum most silver bars carry, and stamps the actual figure. It is a small difference in silver content — half a tenth of a percent — and does not usually change what the bar trades for, since silver bars are priced on the 100 troy ounce weight rather than fractional purity above .999.

Premium per ounce. A single 100 oz bar costs less per ounce than ten 10 oz bars, and far less than 100 individual coins, because there is one bar to pour, mark, and handle instead of many pieces. If your goal is maximum silver for the money, this format is where you land.

Divisibility. You sell 100 ounces at once or not at all — there is no taking ten ounces off the top. That means a larger single transaction when you sell, and fewer buyers able to absorb the whole bar. If you want flexibility to sell in pieces, smaller bars or coins suit you better.

Yes. Silver for a self-directed IRA must be at least .999 fine and produced by an accredited refiner or national government mint. This bar is .9995 fine from OPM, an LBMA-accredited refiner, so it qualifies. Large bars are common in IRA holdings because per-item storage fees favor fewer, larger pieces. The metal must be held by an approved depository rather than delivered to you — confirm the process with your custodian.

These are poured bars, so expect an uneven surface, rounded edges, and visible pour texture — that is normal and not damage. Secondary-market bars may also show handling marks or toning. None of it affects the silver content or what the bar is worth.

A 100 oz bar weighs nearly seven pounds, so it ships fully insured rather than in a standard parcel. Local pickup in Highland, Utah is available at no cost. Call or text before ordering if you have questions about delivery or want to arrange pickup.

Utah exempts investment-grade precious metals from sales tax. A 100 oz silver bar purchased in Utah should not be subject to sales tax. Confirm with your dealer at the time of purchase.
