When buying silver bullion online from silver dealers, the most important factor to consider is the experience and track record of the silver dealer you are considering buying silver from.
Should you buy Silver Coins? -Buy Silver Rounds? -Or buy Silver Bars?
It is often a goal of bullion buyer to buy silver bullion at the lowest price per ounce possible. If buying the most ounces of silver for your capital is your main goal, buying silver bullion in the form of silver bars or silver rounds is probably your best choice.
If owning a government guaranteed highly recognizable legal tender coin is most important to you, than perhaps buying silver coins is your best option.
Perhaps government minted silver bullion bars are be the best mix offering low price silver(a slim premium over silver’s fluctuating spot price) coupled with a government guarantee and a high recognition hallmark.
Silver Bullion Bars
Silver bars are usually made of .999 fine silver bullion and are struck in various sizes and shapes. The range of silver bar weights typically varies from1 ozto100 oz silver bars.
Investors, governments, and even some central banks own silver bars to diversify their savings and prepare for an uncertain future. Investors often choose silver bars for their typical lower price per ounce over the fluctuating silver spot price compared to government minted silver coins.
Silver Bullion Coins
Modern silver coins are typically made of .999 silver bullion (fine silver) and come in various sizes and shapes. The range in highly sold government issued silver coin sizes typically varies from1 ozto1 kg silver coins.
By industry definition, silver coins are struck by government mints and usually have a legal tender face value from the nation or union from which originate. In contrast silver bullion bars are both struck by private mints and government mints alike.
Often investors are willing to pay a slightly higher price for silver coins given their ease of recognition, large liquid two-way markets, and government guarantee or backing.
Silver Bullion Rounds
Althoughsilver roundsare coin-like in appearance, by definition they are called ‘rounds’ and are struck by private mints alone. Like modern silver coins or silver bullion bars, silver rounds are also typically comprised of .999 fine silver bullion.
