The question itself is misleading. Gold has a higher density than silver, so theoretically, a 10 oz gold bar would be smaller than a 10 oz silver bar. Both would weigh the same, but the gold bar would be smaller in size. You very well could have a gold bar that weighs less than a silver bar, but that wouldn’t be an accurate comparison between the two. When making a 1:1 weight comparison between gold and silver bars, their sizes may appear different while their weights remain identical.
