5 oz Silver Bullion Products Online at JM Bullion

Buying silver offers investors and collectors a lot of options. Silver is available in various forms that include silver rounds, silver coins, and silver bars for sale. When it comes to popular weights, most buyers tend toward 1 oz, 10 oz, and 1 Kilo options. There are other options out there for silver buyers though, including 5 oz silver products. Silver is available in this weight in all the forms mentioned above and you can learn about each option in the paragraphs below.

5 oz Silver Coins

The primary 5 oz silver coin available to investors comes from the United States Mint. In 2010, the US Mint introduced the America the Beautiful collection. This extensive series of silver bullion coins includes 56 designs in all representing the 50 US states, the five overseas territories of the nation (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam) and the federal district of Washington DC. The program offers 5 new designs per year and is slated to run through 2021, with the Secretary of the Treasury holding the power to extend the program through 2033.

In the America the Beautiful Series, the United States Mint offers two choices per design release. The coins are available in the following options:

• 5 oz Bullion: The investment-grade version of the coin is available in individual capsules, tubes of 10, or Monster Boxes of 100 coins with a shiny finish.
• 5 oz Burnished: The collectible version, Burnished ATB coins are vapor-blasted after coining for a matte finish that has a different visual appeal than the bullion option. The burnished coins are individually housed inside of capsules and a US Mint box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
• 5 oz Colorized: The colorized versions are not offered directly by the US Mint. Instead, standard bullion coins are colorized by third-party authorized dealers to create a unique third option for both investors and collectors to consider.

All ATB Silver Coins have 5 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and come with a face value of $.25 (USD) backed by the federal government. All ATB coins have a shared obverse design of President George Washington. The same design has appeared on American quarters since 1932.

Other examples of 5 oz silver coins include the proof silver coins in the Queen’s Beast Series from the Royal Mint of England and the Mexican Silver Libertad coins from the Mexican Mint. The latter series is available in 5 oz weights in both the bullion and proof versions of the coin.

5 oz Silver Bars

There are various silver bar programs offered from private refineries the world over that come in 5 oz of silver. These bars come in a variety of formats that include minted ingots and hand-poured bars. Monarch Precious Metals, founded in Oregon in 2008, is a leading producer of hand-poured silver bars in 5 oz weights. SilverTowne, another private American mint located in Indiana, produces a minted ingot in this weight that has the popular Buffalo Nickel design:

• The obverse of the SilverTowne 5 oz bar has the obverse from the Buffalo Nickel with a right-profile portrait of a Native American and engravings of the bar’s purity, metal content, and weight. The reverse includes the coin’s reverse, a left-profile bust of an American bison and a crisscrossed background field design.

5 oz Silver Rounds

Multiple private mints offer 5 oz silver rounds for collectors and investors to choose from when they buy silver. In the case of silver rounds, each one has .999 pure silver and offers varying designs that range from simple mint logos to historic US coin imagery. Examples of 5 oz silver rounds include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Buffalo Silver Rounds: Offered by numerous mints, 5 oz silver rounds with the images from the historic Buffalo Nickel are a popular option. Mints such as SilverTowne offer the Buffalo Silver Round annually and include mint marks to separate the years of issue.
• Prospector Stacker: The Prospector is the official logo of SilverTowne and it regularly appears on silver rounds from the mint. The 5 oz version of this round is a stackable option that has alternating raised and lowered bumps along the edge of the design fields that securely “lock” the rounds together when stacked one on top of the other.
• Walking Liberty Rounds: Struck by different mints, the 5 oz Walking Liberty round offers Adolph A. Weinman’s famed design of Walking Liberty from the US half-dollar coin (1916-1947) is featured on the round.
