For those who are looking to invest in bullion silver, one of the easiest and least expensive ways to accomplish the task is to purchase silver bullion rounds. Silver rounds are typically sold at lower premiums than US minted silver coins, although they contain the same percentage of silver. This feature makes fine silver rounds an attractive investment for those wishing to invest in a physical silver medium that is immediately liquid and can be purchased in small amounts.
Silver bullion rounds are not produced, guaranteed by, or available through the United States Mint. They are produced by a number of smaller mints, some well-known and some lesser known. Some of the mints producing bullion silver rounds may no longer be in business, but the rounds which they produced still can be exchanged for the value of the silver they contain.
Silver bullion rounds produced by better known mints, however, are usually bought and sold at higher premiums than those produced by their lesser known counterparts. Silver rounds may or may not display a mark identifying the mint which produced them.
One ounce silver rounds are the most commonly produced coin weight, but rounds denominated in fractions of an ounce, or larger than an ounce, are also readily available. Authentic bullion silver rounds are .999 fine silver, just like coins genuine US minted coins.
Silver bullion rounds have no legal tender status, but may become collectible, because of their art designs. Often designed after famous US coins, like the buffalo head nickel, almost anything can be the subject matter for designs on silver bullion rounds.
