Hello, I am new to silver stacking. In fact I just bought my first two bars from a local silver dealer. I am new to silver stacking, and am still learning. Fully for the purpose of saving money.
As I said I bought my first silver just a couple weeks ago. 2 1oz. Northwest Territorial Mint bars. Today, I bought my third, and the local dealer only has square silver in a box of random silver troy ounces. And it was a Israel 25th anniversary one ounce. Marked with Pure silver .999 fine. On the back has the symbol of the company and has the purity mark and IN ISRAEL across the back and a date 1973.
It was the only purchase I could get today, and when I brought it home, compared to my other two bars, it is slightly smaller. But, it is also just slightly thicker.
Now, I don't have a scale or magnet to do tests yet. My questions are[: Is there a standard universal size to silver stamped bars? Or does it vary company to company and country to country? And is this one way to find a fake?
Thank you for anyone's help. It would be greatly appreciated.
