Buying Silver Bullion

Silver, along with gold, is one of the most popular investment vehicles for precious metal investors. There are many different types of silver that are available for investment and collecting alike. Silver is a great investment because it is affordably priced as compared to gold. No matter the size of your order, you will always be able to order more ounces of silver than gold for the same amount of money.

There are three different primary types of silver bullion: bars, rounds, and coins. A bar and round, for all intents and purposes, are the same thing with a different shape. Bars and rounds are minted and produced by private companies, and are most often sold to silver investors. Coins, on the other hand, most often end up in private collections.

Coins cost a lot more than rounds and bars of the same weight because they have a collectible value on top of the value of the silver contained in the coin. There is a set scarcity and production run with coins, whereas bars and rounds are produced in virtually limitless quantities.

Silver Bars

Bars are the most common form of silver for investments. Bars come in many different weights and sizes, with the standard sizes being 1 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz, 1 kilo, and 100 oz. The larger the size of the bars that you order, the lower the price per oz that you should expect to pay.

Silver Coins

Coins are the ultimate, but also the most expensive form of silver. A coin is a piece of silver, shaped like a round, that is minted and distributed by the national mint of a particular country. Just as the American Eagle is manufactured by the US Mint, the Canadian Maple Leaf is produced by Canada. In China, the primary silver coin is known as the Silver Panda. Many countries from all over the world have their own national coins, and they tend to be the most popular and in-demand items on the market.

Coins are also more expensive than their bar and round counterparts. Though the amount of actual silver is often times equal to that found in other forms of bullion, the price of coins will be higher due to the raised collector and secondary market demand. Coins are naturally rare and have added value because they are scarce, whereas bars and rounds are simply pure bullion that are produced in virtually limitless quantities.

 

 

Gold Bars

Gold bars are what most people think of when they consider gold bullion, and with good reason. Gold bars come in many different shapes and sizes. Starting off at 1 gram, gold bars can be as large as you can possibly imagine. The most commonly traded bars fall into the 1 oz and lower range, with many different varieties available.

Gold bars are a primary choice because they offer the most pure, real gold per dollar. You won’t be paying as much money towards premiums when you are buying bars vs. gold coins. Of course, gold coins are a great choice, as well. Gold bars tend to be purchased strictly by investors whereas coins have a following of investors and collectors alike. Gold bars are one of the most popular ways to invest in precious metals.

No matter what type of gold products you decide on, you can be sure that you are investing in a valuable form of currency. Gold bullion is genuine, and you will feel the natural worth and value when you hold it in your hand.

Gold Coins

Gold coins are perhaps the most recognizable staple in the gold and silver bullion industry. Coins offer value in their bullion content and scarcity alike. While gold bars and bullion can be produced in many different ways and in almost any quantity, gold coins will always have a relative scarcity. Once a set year of production for a gold coin is complete, there will not be another edition of that coin produced. Beyond this, coins also offer the peace of mind that comes along with knowing your gold was minted by a well-known and respected mint, like the US Mint or the Royal Canadian Mint.
