100 gram Silver Valcambi CombiBar

In an age where financial security is paramount, the Valcambi 100 gram Silver CombiBar stands out as a wise choice for investors looking to diversify their savings with tangible assets. Crafted by legendary Swiss refiner Valcambi SA, this innovative product marries security, practicality and convenience.

It’s both a 3.2 troy oz silver bullion bar and 100 individual one-gram silver bars at the same time.

The concept of the CombiBar comes from a simple problem: Manufacturing precious metal bullion bars costs about the same, regardless of weight. It’s most cost-effective to buy the biggest – usually, 100 oz silver bars. But smaller quantities of precious metals offer much greater flexibility. So precious metals owners faced a tough decision: Buy bigger bars, and sacrifice flexibility for efficiency? Or choose many smaller bars – and pay greater manufacturing and fabrication costs?

Valcambi CombiBars offer the best of both worlds. It’s one big bar, easily divided into individual grams (or any number of grams – you can detach segments in strips, too). The innovative design ensures precise division without loss of metal, so detached segments are identical. All vital information – metal type, purity, weight, Valcambi’s logo and assay mark – are included on each 1 gram segment for easy identification. Although you might need your reading glasses because the writing’s quite small and each 1 gram segment is about the size of my pinkie fingernail.

As a bonus, that also means each 1 gram segment meets the requirements for certified precious metals in international bullion markets. Just as gold and silver are money everywhere, the world’s markets for physical precious metals from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo have nearly identical requirements for acceptable forms of bullion.

The ability to use precise portions of your precious metal without loss of integrity is invaluable. Valcambi CombiBars are prized most when liquidity may be needed quickly.

The entire CombiBar comes in a sealed, tamper-resistant package that includes an assay certificate, ensuring the authenticity of your asset at a glance. Because the Valcambi brand carries inherent value, maintaining your CombiBars in their original packaging is advisable unless you need to access their value. Hopefully, you’ll never find yourself needing to break up your silver CombiBar for emergency barter…

Valcambi SA is not just a name; it’s a hallmark of excellence in the precious metals industry. The refinery is certified by prestigious entities such as the London’s “Good Delivery” bullion registry, and it holds accreditations from the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM), and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). These certifications underscore Valcambi’s commitment to quality and integrity, making their products some of the most trusted in the world.

Note that 50 gram gold and platinum Valcambi CombiBars are also available.

Why would I ever need just one gram of silver?

As of this date, 1 gram of silver trades for about $1.53 to $1.56 – that’s not a great sum. For comparison, a single 1916-1945 Mercury dime contains about 2.2 grams of silver. But the Mercury dime is still an incredibly popular form of physical silver. Why? Because smaller weights give you more flexibility. 

The ability to access just one gram of silver can be literally priceless in a number of  situations.

Hyperinflation? You only want to part with the minimum necessary quantity of silver – because overpaying would get you nothing but rapidly-expiring cash. Barter? The ability to divide by the gram lets you “make change” when necessary. Need to sell? Why liquidate a larger bar (and lose out on potential rise in silver’s price) when you can simply sell as much as you need to?

Then, there are other situations where the silver Valcambi CombiBar is a smart choice. As small as they are, one-gram silver bars are perfect for gifts. Share them with family and friends! The gift of tangible physical silver bullion can be both meaningful and practical – and it’s one of the very few gifts you can give that’ll still be worth something a year, or a decade, down the road.
