Silver Foreign Coins

Foreign Silver Coins

The United States Mint is recognized around the globe as one of the finest facilities in the world. Though its coins are highly regarded due to the coin processes and silver content used by the Mint, there are countless other Foreign Silver Coins struck by government facilities across the globe. In fact, many foreign mints produce coins which are on par with those struck by the United States Mint.

Introduction to Foreign Silver Coins

The variety of silver coins produced around the globe is almost endless. In order to be considered as part of this category page, a Foreign Silver Coin must be produced by a national mint in another country. Foreign Silver Coins range in purity from .900 to .9999 fine silver depending upon the mint and coin series in question, with the vast majority struck in at least .999 fine silver.

Available Coins

Much like other silver coin series, many Foreign Silver Coins are graded and certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation and Professional Coin Grading Service. These two services are the most stringent when it comes to certifying coins. Both use the Sheldon numeric scale, issuing coins a grade based upon condition that ranges from a low of 1 to a high of 70. Bullion coins with a Mint State 70 (MS70) grade and proof coins with a PF70 (NGC) or PR70 (PCGS) are considered perfectly struck.

Both grading services certify coins on various levels. In order for a coin to earn those perfect grades, they must contain no contact marks, blemishes, hairlines, or other visible flaws. Silver coins with an MS70 (PF/PR70) grade have their full, original luster and sharp, attractive strikes for the date and mint.
