What premium does a 1 kg Silver Bar usually carry?

Historically a 1 kg Silver Bar tends to trade about 4–10% over its melt value at retail, though premiums spike when demand is high and compress when it's quiet. Treat the range here as a guide, not a quote.

Is the melt value what I'll pay or get for a 1 kg Silver Bar?

No. Melt value is the intrinsic worth of the metal — live spot price times the coin's pure content. A dealer sells above melt (their premium) and buys slightly below it (their spread). The melt figure here is the honest baseline; actual retail and buy-back prices move with demand.
