What is the difference between Silver bars Unimet vs Metalor ( with/ without serial no)

[DanTer]

I can see that some bars are with serial number and some are without , I need to make a choice between buying Unimet (no serial) vs Metalor (with serial)  1kg bars - which one is better and why ?

-Im new to silver so just trying to get my head around all that.

Silver is silver.
Metalor is a Swiss brand - it is well respected. The bars are issued with a certificate card which bears the same serial number. This often gets lost. Bars with certificates are often sold for slightly more.

Unimet is a UK brand. The bars have the Sheffield assay office hallmark rose. These are a less prestigious bar and so tend to sell for a bit less.

Both a good makes but one has a bigger brand name which is more widely recognised and so commands a higher price.
