Coins:
American Silver Eagle (1 troy ounce .999 silver, made by the US Mint, most popular silver bullion coin in the world)
Canadian Silver Maple Leaf (1 troy ounce .9999 silver, made by the Royal Canadian Mint)
Austrian Silver Philharmonic (1 troy ounce .999 silver, made by the Austrian Mint)
There are other 1 oz silver coins minted by national mints, but most of those coins not listed here have high premiums. There are some exceptions, such as the 2016 Australia Kangaroos, of which the Perth Mint has been churning them out in large numbers even before 2016 even arrived. You may inquire about alternatives to the Eagle, Maple, and Philharmonic, but these are what we recommend if you’re looking to invest in silver and you prefer government coins to the privately minted
Bars:
1 oz
10 oz
100 oz
From the following manufacturers: Sunshine Minting (SMI), Ohio Precious Metals (OPM), Republic Metals Corp (RMC), North Texas Refinery (NTR), Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), Johnson Matthey (JM), Asahi, Engelhard, Amark. These happen to be popular brands, but I may have other items in stock as well.
We will often times have various “art bars” – many of which were issued by private mints in the US back in the 70s and 80s and feature interesting designs – everything from birthdays, holidays, and graduations to patriotic symbols, historical events, and animals.
Rounds:
For those of you who like the lower premiums of the bars rather than the coins but who like something round and that can fit in a tube, many of the above named manufactures produce silver rounds – same as the bars, except their round and not rectangular. Still 1 troy ounce .999 silver, and round, but unlike the coins the rounds do not have a face value, they are not legal tender, and they were struck privately, not by governments. Although various sizes are produced, most common are 1 oz rounds. Fractional rounds, 2 oz, 5 oz and 10 oz rounds do exist, as do “irregular” weight rounds such as 4 oz, 12 oz (1 troy pound) and rounds that are 16 ounces avoirdupois (oz AVDP) which is approximately 14.6 troy ounces.
Call to inquire about availability and pricing on any silver bullion in which you have an interest.
