Start with basic physical tests: weigh the bar against its stated troy-ounce specification and measure dimensions with calipers. Silver is non-magnetic, so a strong rare-earth magnet should not attract it. A cold ice cube placed on silver melts unusually fast due to silver's high thermal conductivity. For best assurance, purchase from an established, reputable bullion dealer rather than secondary marketplaces.

Cast bars are poured as molten metal into moulds, giving a rougher, more industrial finish. Minted bars are cut from rolled sheet and then struck under a press, producing sharper designs and a more refined appearance. Minted bars typically carry a slightly higher premium due to the additional production steps, while cast bars are prized for their raw, traditional look.
