All Silver Rounds

All Silver Bullion Rounds at JM Bullion

Silver rounds are a popular means of investing, and building a collector’s portfolio, for many numismatists. There are many reasons for the popularity of silver rounds. Viewed as a snapshot of the current economic climate, silver rounds are surging in popularity for the exact same reason as bullion coins such as the American Silver Eagle, Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, and Chinese Silver Panda: silver prices. While gold and platinum have shot to record highs at various points in recent years, silver prices are shrinking.

Lower silver prices push more investors into the marketplace. These individuals look to invest their hard-earned cash in silver now while prices are low, allowing them to purchase greater quantities of silver and hold onto those with the long-term goal of seeing silver prices rise. The greatest benefit that silver rounds have compared to popular bullion coins such as those mentioned above is the producer. Yes, coins from the United States Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, and Perth Mint (among others) are in high demand, and they are among the highest quality coins available today. However, there are two hurdles preventing average investors and new investors from getting into the market.

First, many of the sovereign coins released by these mints are restricted in production on one level or another. For example, Perth Mint coins such as the Australian Silver Kookaburra and Australian Silver Koala have limited mintages (usually maxed at 1 million) that restrict the amount available on an annual basis. In the case of the American Silver Eagle, the United States Mint strikes the coins to meet demand. However, the Mint has been forced to institute an allocation program restricting the volume at times to meet the immense demand for silver coins.

More importantly, the coins struck by these mints have higher premiums over the spot price of silver. The demand for these coins and the limited mintage of each leads to higher prices, making it difficult for collectors to regularly purchase the designs they covet and tougher for new investors to break into the market. If you’ve been considering the purchase of silver rounds as part of your investment portfolio or collection, browse the complete variety of JM Bullion silver rounds below.

Fractional Silver Rounds from JM Bullion

Fractional-weight silver rounds are a relatively new development in the precious metals industry. As more investors and collectors flood the market, private mints have been diversifying their offerings to keep up with demand from investors and collectors of all wealth levels. There are a variety of offerings, which are broken down by mint examples below.

Without question, the products from Suns of Liberty Mint are the most unique silver rounds you’ll find on the market today. The term “round” is used in the industry to distinguish silver precious metal products that have the size and shape of sovereign mint products, but lack the government-backed purity and legal tender status of a coin. Suns of Liberty Mint decided to further twist the selection with the use of octagonal “rounds.”

Each SOLM Fractional Silver Round available from JM Bullion has 45-degree cutoff corners, giving them the appearance of a square at first, but with the added dimension of an eight-sided appearance. To date, there are two designs available from JM Bullion in the SOLM Fractional Silver Round collection:

• 1/10 oz Standard Finish Suns of Liberty Silver Square: On the obverse of each 1/10 oz Standard Finish Suns of Liberty Silver Square you’ll find the markings of the square’s purity, metal content, and weight. The words “Troy Oz.” are engraved below as an indication of the weight measurement, while the numerical value of the weight is engraved in larger letters in the center. The reverse of all Suns of Liberty Silver Squares includes a repeating pattern set at a 45-degree angle. You’ll find the shorthand for the mint’s name, SOLM (Suns of Liberty Mint), the sun logo for the mint, and the square’s weight, purity, and metal content engraved on this side.
• ¼ oz Suns of Liberty Silver Square: The reverse side of these silver squares features the repeating image of the Suns of Liberty Mint’s logo, a small sun. Additional engravings include “Suns of Liberty Mint” and “.25 Troy Oz” across the round at a 45-degree angle. On the obverse of the ¼ oz. Standard Finish Suns of Liberty Mint Silver Squares you’ll find the engraving of “.25” prominently stamped in the center of the design. Above it is the purity and metal content of the square, while the weight indicator “Troy Oz.” is featured below.

For the first time, a private mint has refined a series of fractional silver rounds that are purposely struck with slight variations from one product to the next to ensure true uniqueness in each individual silver round.

Monarch Precious Metals purposely hand-stamped the designs on each round off center. This gives the coins a sense of old world charm and appearance, given the lack of precise coining presses prior to the modern era. To further enhance the appeal of these ½ oz rounds, Monarch applied an antiquing patina and anti-polish to give the coin’s a faded, centuries-old look.

The reverse side of the rounds features a scarab beetle in the center of the design, with an Eye of Horus found above it. Modern touches include the use of the Monarch Precious Metals logo, a crown formed by the letters “MPM,” and the engravings identifying the round’s weight, purity, and metal content.

On the obverse of each ½ oz Monarch Egyptian Silver Round is the image of an Egyptian mummy, captured in left-profile relief and surrounded by engravings and artwork commonly found in Egyptian tombs and artistry.

One of the most visible precious metal brands in the American landscape is Sunshine Mint. This company is the only private American mint to feature an overseas presence, with locations in China that expand its reach globally with greater ease. Sunshine is known for producing silver rounds that replicate the designs of famous American coinage, but its fractional lineup focuses more on the brand of the mint itself.

Each ½ oz Sunshine Mint Silver Round has been crafted by the Sunshine Mint who is well known throughout the industry for their design expertise and superior quality products. Like their 1 oz counterparts, the 1/2 oz rounds also carry competitive premiums over spot making them a favorable option to physical silver investors.

The 1/2 oz Sunshine Silver Round bears the same iconic design and unique security features as many of the mints other products. On the obverse side of the round is the image of an eagle soaring in front of the sun. Stamped around the image are the words “Sunshine Minting.” The reverse side of each round contains stamps denoting its silver purity (.999) and weight of 1/2 troy ounce. Also located on the reverse of the round is Sunshine’s unique security feature which can be validated by using a Sunshine decoder lens.

Finally, Highland Mint follows in the footsteps of many other private American mints with the release of silver rounds bearing iconic American coin designs from the early 20^th century. What sets Highland Mint apart from the vast majority of the competition is the availability of these designs on fractional silver rounds. There are a total of three different historic US coin designs found on three different fractional silver round offerings from the Highland Mint, including classic designs such as the Buffalo Nickel, Walking Liberty Half Dollar, and Morgan Silver Dollar.

Conversely, for the numismatist that has a hard time finding their favorite coin designs from popular bullion coin series, there is a 1 oz Silver Round available to meet your needs. Many of the most popular coin designs from the United States Mint, as well as innovative designs from some of the most highly regarded private mints in the country.

For example, the three most popular coin designs in American history were the Saint-Gaudens Liberty, Walking Liberty, and the Morgan Silver Dollar. Each of these coin designs are available on low-premium 1 oz silver rounds. The following is a complete list of available 1 oz. Silver Rounds with stunning designs:

• Morgan Silver Round: Struck by numerous mints, the Morgan Silver Round precisely replicates the Morgan Silver Dollar, which was first released by the United States Mint in 1878. When it was released, it featured a brilliant Liberty design from Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan on the obverse, as well as a heraldic eagle depiction on the reverse. The Morgan Silver Dollar was in circulation from 1878 to 1904, and is widely considered the best dollar-coin design of all time.
• Saint-Gaudens 1 oz Silver Round: Augustus Saint-Gaudens was hand-picked by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 to help lead a decade-long shift in American gold coin design. His depiction of Lady Liberty was a departure from the norm, giving her a modern, American look compared to previous traditional designs. Saint-Gaudens’ original design appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle from 1907 to 1933, and currently features on the American Gold Eagle bullion coin.
• Buffalo Silver Rounds: Also available from numerous private mints, the Buffalo Nickel (or Indian Head Nickel) design from James Earle Fraser graced America’s five-cent piece from 1913 to 1938. The design featured a left-profile portrait of a tribal leader on the obverse, and a depiction of Black Diamond on the reverse. Black Diamond was a bison housed at the Central Park Zoo in New York City during the early 20^th This popular design is currently on the American Gold Buffalo bullion coin from the US Mint.
• Walking Liberty Silver Rounds: Available from several mints, the Walking Liberty Silver round brings Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic depiction of Liberty to life on an affordable silver round. Originally used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947, Weinman’s vision of Liberty shows her walking toward the setting sun draped in the American flag, and is representative of the nation’s constant march toward a brighter tomorrow.

2 oz Silver Rounds from JM Bullion

Among the most popular weights for silver rounds are 2 oz Silver Rounds, which offer a pricing point very close to the affordable 1 oz products, but often come with larger surface areas that allow mints to get creative with the use of high-relief strikings with stunning proof and antique finishes. Below are a few of the popular examples of 2 oz silver rounds in our catalog at JM Bullion.

While some of the 2 oz silver rounds listed in the points below are part of a wider series from each respective mint, others are one-time issues that include our very own JM Bullion 2 oz Silver Round:

• Egyptian Gods: The Egyptian Gods series of 2 oz silver rounds includes four designs, each one representing imagery associated with an Ancient Egyptian god. Both the obverse and reverse designs bear their images, including their human form and the symbols most often associated with that god. Each one is a high-relief strike with beautiful visuals.
• JM Bullion Round: Following the popularity of our 1 oz silver round, JM Bullion introduced our own branded 2 oz silver round. The JM Bullion logo features along with an American bald eagle on a brilliant round that has reverse-proof like visuals delivering frosted backgrounds and mirrored design elements.
• Silver Bugs: In a clever nod to the Silverbug online community on Reddit, the Intaglio Mint issued a six-design series of Silver Bug rounds that had the famed sayings of the online group: “All Hail the Silver Bug” and “In Silver We Trust.” However, the primary designs featured images of actual bug species.
• Historic Coins: Both the Intaglio Mint and Golden State Mint offer unique 2 oz silver rounds with designs plucked from historic coinage. In the case of GSM, many of the designs come from the 20^th century and include the likes of the Mercury Dime image. However, Intaglio Mint went even further back to feature colonial currency from America’s period as a British colony.

5 oz Silver Rounds from JM Bullion

Like the selection of 2 oz silver rounds, 5 oz silver rounds are available in an increasingly impressive array of designs and finishes. It is impossible to completely catalog all of them in full detail, but in the following paragraphs you’ll learn more about some of the most popular collections available at the moment.

Beyond the now popular Hobo Nickel Series of 5 oz silver rounds, you’ll find a vast array of rounds now issued in this weight. Each one has the same .999 pure silver content of other 1 oz and 2 oz silver rounds, but offers the largest surface area you’ll find on products of this type to display beautiful and distinctive designs. Examples of other popular 5 oz silver rounds beyond the Hobo Nickels include:

• American Western Skulls Collection: The American Western Skulls Collection offers a variety of designs with each release focusing on a different well-known character from America’s Wild West Era. The 5 oz silver rounds in this collection include proof, antique, and proof colorized options ranging from the Indian Chief to the Gambler.
• Mucha Collection: One of the first collections to venture into the 5 oz silver round category, the Alphonse Mucha Collection offers antique and colorized versions of popular works from the man known as the father of the Art Nouveau movement. The collection offers six designs in total.
• Amy Brown Collection: Another popular Anonymous Mint Series, the Amy Brown Collection offers a glimpse into the most popular fairy designs from a woman who regularly ranks among the best fantasy-and-fairy artists in the world today.
• Lisa Parker Collection: The Lisa Parker Collection mentioned above in the 1 oz silver section not only boasts 1 oz silver rounds, but also 5 oz silver rounds. For each of the six designs in the collection, the images are featured on three different 5 oz silver rounds as well. These included the same proof, colorized proof, and antique options, this time with mintage caps of just 250 on all three versions in this larger weight.
• Historic US Coins: As with other weights of silver rounds, you’ll find plenty of 5 oz silver rounds boasting images from circulation US currency. These options include the Buffalo Silver Round and Walking Liberty Silver Round from the likes of SilverTowne and Golden State Mint.
• Stackable Silver Rounds: Scottsdale Mint and SilverTowne both offer stackable 5 oz silver rounds. While the designs differ on each, the primary concept focuses on the inclusion of physical features on the rounds that make them easier to securely stack. For example, SilverTowne’s Prospector has raised and lowered edges that allow the rounds to fit neatly together. Scottsdale Mint places its logo on its stackable rounds with contrasting convex and concave fields reflecting that logo design. In this way, the logo on the obverse of one fits neatly into the reverse of that same logo on the other to allow for secure stacking.
