Silver Bullion Coins
When it comes to buying silver coins for investment purposes, one has many different types to choose from. Silver coins are made by various government mints and come in different sizes, purities and face values. Silver coins do have a degree of collectability associated with them as a coin cannot just be reproduced at will once a production run is completed, that’s it. For example, a 2010 Silver American Eagle will not be made again and therefore coins like this will tend to be more collectible
Silver coins are primarily produced by sovereign mints, but there are a few private mints contracted to product Silver bullion coins a well. The United States no longer mints Silver coins for circulation as they used to. Silver coins range in designs from historical figures, animals, iconic sites and more.

Types of Silver Coins
There are many different types of silver coins that have been minted throughout history. The number may even be as high as several thousand. Obviously, older and rarer coins are one thing but the fact is that there is a group of silver coins that make up the vast majority of today’s silver coin trade. Some of the most popular silver bullion coins being produced today are:
– American Silver Eagles
– Canadian Silver Maple Leafs
– Austrian Silver Philharmonics
– Chinese Silver Pandas
– Silver Britannias
– Australian Silver Coins
– Mexican Silver Libertads
Silver Bullion Coins
Far and away, the most widely recognized and acclaimed silver coin is the American Silver Eagle. Produced by the U.S. mint, this stunning coin is symbolic of high quality silver bullion production and heritage. The American silver eagle carries a face value of $1.00 and is .999 percent fine. Most commonly bought and sold silver coins contain 1 troy ounce and are also .999 while some can be as high as .9999. Though one ounce is the most popular size, some coins are produced in sizes of 2 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz and even Kilogram in some cases.
Junk Silver Coins
Junk silver is another option for investors. Junk silver coins are circulated coins that contain up to 90 percent silver. For example, silver dollars minted in the U.S. prior to 1965 contained silver. It is more difficult to determine the actual amount of silver in such coins, although they are considered to be another inexpensive and cost effective way to begin acquiring physical silver.
Commemorative Silver Coins
Commemorative silver coins are also produced in various sizes. A commemorative silver coin is produced in limited quantities and can have varying amounts of silver. These coins are considered to be more of a numismatic, or collector’s coin.
Other Types
Silver coins are often bought and sold in uncirculated condition. This means that the coin has never been in circulation, or handled as currency. In addition, one can purchase silver proof coins. Proof coins, unlike regular coins, have been struck multiple times giving them a very unique shine and luster.
Silver Coin Pricing
Like most other bullion products, silver coins can have a wide range of premiums attached to them which varies from coin to coin. For many silver coins, this premium may only be a couple dollars over the current spot silver price. For other coins, the premium may be as high as ten or twenty dollars over spot. Proof coins are the most expensive because of their brilliant, uncirculated condition and luster. It is not at all uncommon for silver proof coins to cost fifty or even hundreds of dollars over the spot silver price. Obviously, supply and demand play a role in silver coin prices. The more rare or brilliant a coin may be, the higher the premium it may command.
Why Do Investors Buy Silver Coins
Silver bullion coins are one of the most liquid and efficient bullion investments one can make. The relatively small premiums on most coins make silver coins a cost-effective way to add to physical bullion holdings. Because these coins are traded and recognized around the world, they are very liquid and easily transacted. In addition, because the coins are small they can be stored in secure vaults, safety deposit boxes or in secure locations at home. They are also easily stacked.
One may also want to keep in mind the fact that not only is silver potentially a very useful investment, but that it is also very important in modern industry. Because of the metal’s unique properties, it has many uses, and demand has remained strong for silver. This could be just another reason to perhaps consider silver coins for investment purposes.
Silver Bullion For Sale Online
Foremost, silver is a precious metal and coveted commodity with many industrial uses. Buying silver is an easy and affordable method for diversifying a portfolio, as silver has many properties that make it a valuable asset.
Silver has also been used as money for nearly as long as it’s been known by humans—some 5,000 years! Yet, the silver supply is finite; there’s only so much to go around. Therefore, it can serve as a great investment, often increasing in market value when the economy is weak or when various industries that use silver in large amounts grow in size or scope.
Many people wonder if buying silver is a good investment. As a so-called “safe haven” investment, silver comes in many forms, including coins, rounds, and bars.
You may be asking, 'Should I buy silver bars or coins?' While coins are often the most popular investment because they’re widely recognizable and come in many beautiful designs, silver rounds and bars are usually available for lower prices closer to their spot silver price. The spot market price is equal to their intrinsic metal value or melt value.
