APMEX in America. Best metals dealer I ever found when I lived there. And they ship to Australia now!!! http://www.apmex.com/Product/35528/5_oz_Sunshine_Minting_Silver_Bar_999_Fine.aspx 100x 5oz Sunshine Mint silver bars ~$155 each ~$15,500 subtotal $50 base shipping cost $0.25 per oz additional shipping surcharge = $125 Total = $15,640 USD, or $16,040 AUD currently. The frustrating part is that I have a 10oz bar of gold I'd love to trade in for this right now, but I'm not sure how to get it liquidated for the best amount of cash that I can quickly use to make that purchase.
