SilverTowne 1 oz Buffalo Silver Bar vs APMEX 1 oz Silver Bar

Both are 1 troy oz .999 fine silver bars, so the real choice is design and quantity, not metal. The SilverTowne Buffalo carries James Earle Fraser's 1913 Buffalo Nickel artwork and ships sealed, which suits collectors and gift buyers. The APMEX bar has a prooflike, mirror-like eagle finish and comes in a 20-bar lot, which suits buyers stacking bullion in volume. Owners rate both highly; the Buffalo lot scores slightly higher on fewer ratings, and APMEX has the longer track record.

• Choose the SilverTowne Buffalo if you want a recognizable American coin design, sealed packaging, and a small lot of three.
• Choose the APMEX bar if you want prooflike finish and a larger 20-bar lot for stacking.
