These bullion bars are made by Johnson Matthey, a refiner that has been in business since 1817. Originally founded in 1817 by Percival Norton Johnson, a gold assayer, it wasn't until George Matthey joined the business in 1851 that it became the company the world knows today. They once played a large part in the world bullion markets and later diversified to include many different aspects of metals refining and minting. Renowned the world over for the quality of their products and the reputation that has endured for nearly 200 years, Johnson Matthey is a favourite among bullion dealers and stackers alike.

WHY IT MAKES SENSE TO BUY SILVER!!

Silver is an unappreciated opportunity for investors. Traditionally overshadowed by gold, silver has in recent years outpaced gold’s earnings. Much of the gold that is produced is hoarded, while silver is increasingly used in electronics and manufacturing. With at least minor amounts of silver in virtually all electronics, more than half of the silver produced goes into industrial manufacturing. At least trace amounts of silver are used in everything from polyester to cell phones. Silver is also used in the production of solar panels, a technology which is likely to increase. Additionally, silver is widely used in medical technologies and treatments. The demand for these products, particularly electronics, far exceeds the current rate of recycling, another factor which encourages the continued increase of silver prices. Silver has long been appreciated by investors who appreciate its comparative affordability as well as its compact size (which make it easy to store and transport), silver is increasingly sought after because of its role in industrial technology. With that role being continually expanded, silver offers an excellent alternative for investors as well as collectors.
