    Silver Bullion for Sale Online

    Although gold remains the king of precious metals for millions of investors, silver is a quiet hero that many investors turn to for diversity and affordability. One of the greatest assets silver has in its favor is not its affordability, but rather its diversity. You’ll find silver for sale in a wide range of product types that include coins, bars, rounds, and even statues. Want to find something a little different for your portfolio? Try flipping through the various silver products available in the robust online catalog at JM Bullion.

    Silver Rounds for Sale

    If you’re a fan of modern silver bullion coins, but tire of the higher prices associated silver bullion coins from mints around the globe, there’s another option. Silver rounds are available primarily from private mints in the United States and around the world. While silver rounds and silver coins have a lot of visual similarities, there are some important differences to understand. Primarily speaking, silver coins have an official face value assigned by a sovereign mint and hold legal tender status. Conversely, silver rounds have no face value, are not struck by sovereign mints, and hold no legal tender status.

    The benefit this delivers to silver rounds is the ability to strike the rounds to unlimited mintages in the interest of keeping up with the demand for silver among investors and collectors. Silver rounds have bullion versions with unlimited coining or proof options with limited issues to spike interest in unique designs. Can’t find your favorite silver bullion coin design? Silver rounds often reflect these popular designs on products that are easier to get your hands on!

    As just a few examples of the silver rounds you can expect to find in the collection at JM Bullion, feel free to read more about the following silver rounds available in fractional weights, 1 oz weights, and larger-than-1-oz weights:

    • JM Bullion 1 oz Silver Round: Our own reverse proof-like silver round, the JM Bullion 1 oz Silver Round features our JM Bullion logo on the obverse face of the round and the American bald eagle on the reverse. The rounds are shipped individually in plastic flips or available in JM Bullion-branded tubes of 20 rounds.
    • Bitcoin Silver Rounds: Bitcoin became a household name in 2017 as its value shot to an astronomical high around $19,000 to $1 USD. As a virtual currency, Bitcoin does not exist in physical form, but that doesn’t mean you can’t hold a reasonable facsimile in your hand! Bitcoin Silver Rounds are available in multiple designs from Anonymous Mint, and all feature the Bitcoin symbol.
    • Fractional Silver Rounds: Unlike most silver coins, silver rounds are available in fractional weights as well as 1 oz weights. In most cases, fractional silver rounds feature representations of historic American coin designs. Available options include the Buffalo Nickel design, Walking Liberty design, and even the Morgan Silver Dollar design.

    Silver Bars for Sale

    Not into silver rounds or coins? That’s not a problem, because private mints and a handful of sovereign mints around the globe produce silver bars for sale that have been part of the backbone of private investing for centuries. Silver bars are a lot like silver rounds in many ways. The number of mints/refineries producing them ensures a great deal of variety within the market, while also ensuring there is enough silver to meet the demand of investors and collectors. Silver bars can have varying designs that range from mint-branded, simple imagery to those which bear some of the most beautiful designs in the world.

    Like most silver round programs, silver bars are also typically offered with no cap on the refining numbers made available to the public for purchase. Silver bars also come with a variety of different finishes/appearances. The two primary forms to become familiar with include minted ingots and cast/hand-poured bars:

    • Minted ingots: More highly refined than cast/hand-poured silver bars, minted ingots start out as long cast bars that are run through state-of-the-art presses that stamp and cut the bars into specific sizes with precision. These bars have elegant visuals and refined design elements.
    • Cast/hand-poured bars: The iconic, classic appearance of a silver bar is one which has been created by simply pouring silver into a cast mold and letting it cool. The cooling process is determined by the mint/refinery, with some opting to let bars cool by air while other speed up the process with cooling tubs of water.

    One of the many other benefits of silver bars is the range of weights you’ll find. Silver bars are weighted and marked in both Grams and Troy ounces, with the decision how to mark weights dependent upon the mint/refinery in question. JM Bullion carries a full range of silver bars weighted from 1 Gram up to 5 Kilograms (5,000 Grams or 160.75 Troy oz). Still others are simply marked by their exact Troy ounce weight ranging from 1 oz silver bars and 2 oz silver bars up to 25-50 oz silver bars and 100 oz silver bars.

    Examples popular silver bars you’ll find in the JM Bullion catalogs include the following in-demand series:

    • PAMP Suisse Fortuna Bars: Fortuna is the massively popular design collection from PAMP Suisse. Available in gold, platinum, and palladium as well, the Fortuna 1 oz Silver Bars are widely recognized around the world as a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.

    • Monarch Precious Metals: A private American refinery, Monarch Precious Metals takes on approach to refining and one alone: hand-poured, traditional refining. All Monarch Precious Metal silver bars are struck using hand-poured silver, with any and all design elements hand-stamped into the surfaces of the bars.
    • Sunshine Minting: Another private American mint, Sunshine Minting not only provides silver bullion blanks for bullion coinage to mints including the United States Mint, it produces its own lineup of silver bars with its famed sunburst design behind an American bald eagle in flight.

    Silver Coins for Sale

    Without question, the highlight of the silver market these days are silver coins. Available predominantly from sovereign mints around the globe, with a notable exception being the state-owned Perth Mint of Australia, silver coins hold legal tender status, are assigned a face value in national currencies and have government-backed purity and weight. Silver coins are struck in bullion and proof versions by sovereign mints, with designs that are as iconic as it gets!

    Silver coins for sale around the world today are far too numerous to mention in great detail. However, it is worth noting some of the most important coins in the market right now. Examples include the following coin programs, which are made available each year from their respective mints:

    • American Silver Eagle: There is no coin as popular or widely purchased than the American Silver Eagle. Launched in 1986 by the United States Mint, it is the official silver bullion coin of America and features the iconic Walking Liberty design on its obverse face as created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman. The highest mintage year for the Silver Eagle was in 2015 when it hit 47 million coins sold in one year!
    • Canadian Silver Maple Leaf: The official silver bullion of Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint set an impressive standard when it introduced the Silver Maple Leaf in 1988. Though it debuted after the American Eagle and Chinese Panda coins, it was the first and remains one of the few to use .9999 pure silver content. You’ll also find greater variety in the Silver Maple Leaf Series, with privy-mark coins available and unique series such as the Wild Canada collection.
    • Australian Silver Bullion: The Royal Australian Mint might be the nation’s official sovereign mint, but the Perth Mint is its oldest. Perth Mint coins enjoy legal tender status through the Currency Act of 1965, and the facility is owned by the state government of Western Australia. Available coins in the collection include Lunar Series II coins, Silver Koalas, Silver Kookaburras, and Silver Kangaroos to mention a few.
    • British Silver Bullion: The Royal Mint of England produces some extremely popular silver coins right now. The Silver Britannia is the nation’s official bullion coin and was introduced in 1998 with the iconic image of Britannia. A national symbol in Britain, Britannia watches over the island nation’s shores to defend against invaders. The newer Silver Queen’s Beast collection features the nation’s first-ever 2 oz silver bullion in a 10-design series.
    • Mexican Silver Libertad: Mexico’s official silver bullion issue, the Silver Libertad coin has a design taken from Mexican history that dates back two centuries. First used during Mexico’s revolution against Spain in the 1820s, Winged Victory appeared on Mexican coinage first in the gold Centenario. Today, she is the leading lady in the design of the Mexican Silver Libertad bullion coins from the Mexican Mint.
    • Chinese Silver Panda: The Chinese Silver Panda coin is the oldest silver bullion coin issue in the world today. Introduced in 1982 as a proof specimen, since 1989 the Chinese Mint has struck the coins in a bullion version each year. In 2016, the Chinese Silver Panda coins switched weight measurements from Troy ounces to Grams. Another unique facet of the Chinese Panda among these particular silver coins is its use of a new design for the Giant Panda on the coins each year.
