The largest silver bullion investors of the modern age had or currently have anywhere from 347 to 531 times the amount of silver bullion you see stacked in this article's picture.
In that image, you can see a total of 288 pcs of 1,000 oz silver bullion bars stacked on wooden pallets. Just shy of nine tonnes of silver bullion.
Some of the 1,000 oz silver bars on top are brand new given how shiny they are. Whereas many in the lower rows are black with oxidization. Here is how to clean silver bars if you care to know.
How Many Ounces Are in a Ton of Silver Bullion?
For fine physical silver bullion or any other precious metal, like gold tons, for instance, a metric tonne is exactly 32,150.7 troy ounces.
When referring to precious physical metals, a ton refers to a metric tonne.
The British ton is the ton of silver metric we use when we mention the word ton and bullion. Which weighs 2,240 pounds per ton.
Be careful not to make the mistake of using the U.S. ton, for it is the short ton which is only 2,000 pounds in weight per short ton.
It could be a very costly error next time you are in the market to buy a tonne of silver. A 240-pound mistake could cost you 3,500 oz of silver bullion.
A potential fiat US dollar valued mistake of about $60,000 USD at the moment given today’s spot silver price of around $17.00 oz.
