    Gday guys and gals
    I can get a total of 10 oz worth of .925 small sterling ingots
    Hall marked and stamped for $250
    Ive never bought .925 before only .999 bars
    Is it something worth considering?
    Price seems good
    Penny for your thoughts
    Cheers

    14.5ish % below spot seems a good deal to me :)

    Sounds like a good deal, they may be relatively less liquid than a Perth Mint 999 bar though.

    Jewellery makers would be one market for them.

    Modern silver jewellery is 925
    Some older jewellery can be 900 or even 800

    For that price I'd do it though I'm reluctant to buy anything below .999 that isn't junk silver, however for that price I'd give it a go you could always flip it for a quick profit.
