If you could purchase either at exactly the same price, which would you rather have and why?

What is your reasoning?

    i went with one ounce rounds simply because you can tube them
    and they are just as nice as a bar to store. you can sell them at your
    own slow pace of 1 oz at a time and aquire in the same fashion.

    seems rounds can fetch a higher premium when dealers sell them single
    so maybe there is an opportunity to sell to a dealer at a slightly higher
    price down the road. maybe...

    that is about all there is to it.

    I used to prefer single's for the facts FC stated plus, having 10 things to play with instead of 1. I voted bars as I now prefer bars b/c they are easier to store and I just enjoy how they look/feel.

    Ten 1's so I could sell it off in pieces if I only needed a small amount of cash.

    Yup. Ten one ouncers usually sell for a higher premium that one ten ouncer.

    I went with the 1 10z bar because it is easier to count. if I get a 2nd then I'd just have to use 2 fingers to count them, but 20 rounds would use up all my fingers and toes and then I couldn't get anymore.

    Both choices being generic, I would choose the bar.

    Doubt I will ever buy another 1 oz. round that isn't an SAE. Would have to be a heck of a deal for me to even consider a Maple Leaf. Silver is silver, I know, but for whatever reason, there are TONS of people who think this way.

    But one is only worth $US1 face value while the other is worth $CAN5 face value. Even with exchange rates it would be worth 3.5x the $US

    rounds, when silver hits $100 it will be a lot easier finding buyers at $100 a pop than $1000 buyers.

    I'm surprised it was this close. I figured the singles would win overwhelmingly

    If Silver ever hits $100 in our lifetime, which is highly unlikely, the dollar will only be worth 10 cents in today money. Therefore, it would not make a difference.

    I'll stick with the 10 oz.
