Why Invest in 1 oz Silver Rounds?

There are a number of reasons to consider investing in 1 oz. silver rounds instead of gold or silver bullion coins. Specifically, there are three reasons you should consider investing in silver rounds instead of bullion coins:

• Availability
• Ease of Trade
• Price

Availability is always a limiting factor with most of the popular silver bullion coins in the world. While the American Silver Eagle is a notable exception, which the United States Mint striking those coins to meet demand, the vast majority of other programs have strict caps on the mintage in any given year. Aside from the American Silver Eagle, 1 oz Silver Rounds are the easiest silver products to find on the market.

Silver rounds are also easier to trade in many cases. Because so many individuals are turning to rounds, the availability is also met at times with shortages. This means that many dealers, though not all, will readily buy them back from you because they can turn them around quickly and sell them to someone else.

Beyond availability and ease of trade, the biggest benefit of purchasing 1 oz Silver Rounds is the price. While bullion coins from sovereign mints come with higher premiums, the price you pay a coin dealer over the spot price of silver, silver rounds are typicall the least expensive form of physical silver to invest in.
