Silver Bullion Rounds
Silver bullion rounds are minted by private mints or refineries. They are sold generally in 1-ounce sizes and can be minted in varying degrees of fineness, the most common being 99.9% silver purity. Rounds are not legal tender value. Partly for this reason, they typically sell for lower premiums than silver bullion coins issued by governments.
Silver Bullion Rounds Design
Silver rounds have numerous designs. Some examples include depictions of famous people or special occasions, coin replications, and religious themes.
Most silver bullion round designs will include information specifying the amount of silver, its fineness, and the issuing mint.
Silver Rounds Minting Information
