As one iconic brand departed the precious metals industry in 2015, a new player entered to take its place. After 160 years of refining silver and gold, Johnson Matthey sold its assets to Asahi Holdings of Japan. The newly-formed Asahi Refining wasted little time in producing silver bars with its brand logo, and now the 1 Kilo Silver Asahi Bar is available on Silver.com.

Bar Highlights:

  • Newest product from Asahi Refining!
  • Consists of 1 Kilogram, or 32.15 troy ounces, of .999 fine silver.
  • Features the Asahi Refining logo.
  • Struck at the Salt Lake City facility.

Asahi Refining was formed following the purchase of Johnson Matthey’s facilities in North America. The $186 million acquisition gave Asahi Refining a strong foothold in the precious metals industry and the ability to jump right into production.

While 100 oz bars from Asahi Refining were available swiftly following the acquisition, it took longer to start producing other bars, such as these 1 Kilo Silver Asahi Bars. The surging demand for silver last year created shortages that impacted all mints, and made it difficult for Asahi Refining to ramp up production.

On the obverse of these new 1 Kilo Silver Asahi Bars you’ll find the Asahi Refining logo at the top. An oval shape, it features the words “Asahi – SLC” around the outer rim, while “Assayers – Refiners” is engraved in the middle. The bar’s weight, purity, and metal content are also engraved on this face, along with an individual serial number.

Each of the 1 Kilo Silver Asahi Bars in this product listing from Silver.com originated at the Salt Lake City facility in Utah, in the United States. Asahi Refining took control of three former-Johnson Matthey facilities. In addition to the Salt Lake City refinery, Asahi took over an addition refinery in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and an investment casting services facility in St. Catharines.

Asahi Holdings was formed in 1952 in Tokyo, Japan. The company’s original operations focused on the collection, recycling, and refining of precious and rare metals from waste materials in Japan.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
