Are silver bars much more collectible than rounds?

    If you're talking art bars, the easy answer that comes to mind is known mintage numbers. There are a bunch of interesting rounds to be had but not so much information on numbers minted. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

    There is a collector market for both, and it seems that rare bars can command significant collector premiums. I stick with coins.... although I have a few rounds and bars, they were acquired because of interest, not investment. Cheers, RickO

    Silver Art Bars appear to have a greater "audience" than Silver Art Rounds. I prefer the Bars.

    Yes, and I don't know why.

    In general yes. However, some rare rounds can demand large premium over spot if available on the market.
    I started it out with rounds....then moved on to minted/struck bars.....then poured bars. I collect mostly poured bars now but sometimes add rounds and struck bars in the mix if I find them rare and interesting.
