What is a Silver Round?
A Silver Round has the appearance of a Silver Coin but lacks a face value. This indicates that the Silver Round is not backed by a central bank or government. Due to this, Silver Rounds are typically cheaper than their coin counterparts. Silver Rounds also typically have no mintage caps.
Popular Sizes
Popular coin series, such as the American Silver Eagle, release silver coins in just a 1 oz size. However, Silver Rounds are usually available in numerous sizes, including fractional-ounce weights. Some popular sizes include the following:
- 1/10 Troy oz
- 1/4 Troy oz
- 1/2 Troy oz
- 1 Troy oz
- 2 Troy oz
- 5 Troy oz
- 10 Troy oz
