1-oz silver rounds

About 1 oz silver rounds

1-oz silver rounds are an excellent way to buy silver bullion for your investment portfolio. Before the U.S. Mint began manufacturing 1-oz American Silver Eagle coins in 1986, and before the Royal Canadian Mint began manufacturing Silver Maple Leaf coins in 1988, privately manufactured 1-oz silver rounds were the established way to purchase pure silver bullion in coin form. In today’s extremely tight market for silver bullion, with government mints unable to keep up with demand for bullion coins, these .999 fine pure one ounce silver rounds are one of the best silver buys anywhere. 1-oz silver rounds are very popular silver investment because 1-oz silver rounds are .999 fine silver, making them a pure silver investment.

Brand name 1-oz silver rounds

Engelhard Silver Prospectors

Engelhard produced 1-oz Prospector silver rounds from 1975 to 1988. The Prospector one ounce silver rounds were so named because the obverse of the round bears the image of a prospector panning for gold. Prospectors do not pan for silver, but when Engelhard put out Prospector silver rounds, they also minted Prospector gold rounds, and prospectors do pan for gold. However, the Engelhard gold rounds were never able to compete with government-issued gold coins and not many Engelhard gold rounds were sold.

Engelhard Silver Prospector rounds have not been made since 1988 and they are available only when they show up in the secondary market. They are very popular among precious metal investor and collectors so Engelhard Silver Prospectors usually carry premiums above generic silver rounds.

Because of their very high quality and the name Engelhard, Prospector rounds have remained extremely popular with silver investors. Engelhard Prospector silver rounds usually come 25 coins to a tube, but sometimes 20 coins to a tube.

Johnson Matthey silver rounds

In the mid-1980s, Johnson Matthey, a company in the precious metals industry as respected as Engelhard, minted Freedom Rounds, so named because they celebrated the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known to all Americans as the Bill of Rights. Freedom 1-oz silver rounds are excellent pieces and should be acquired when available; however, few were made, and they rarely show up in the secondary market. Johnson Matthey Freedom 1-oz silver rounds and Engelhard Prospectors carry about the same premiums.

When originally manufactured, Johnson Matthey Freedom 1-oz silver rounds came in Mylar sheets of twenty. When they show up in the secondary market, sometimes they are still in the original Mylar packaging, sometimes they are out the Mylar and in tubes.

Buffalo 1-oz silver rounds

Buffalo 1-oz silver rounds are also very popular. The reverse of 1-oz silver Buffalo round is the famed Indian Head design that graces the old Buffalo/Indian Head nickel (1913-1937).

Sunshine Silver Eagles

Sunshine Minting produces popular 1-oz silver rounds depict an eagle flying through the sun and are called Silver Eagles. Sunshine Silver Eagles are not to be confused with Silver Eagles, which are legal tender coins minted by the U.S. Mint. The name Sunshine is nearly synomomous with silver because of the famed Sunshine silver mine in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Sunshine silver rounds usually come in bags, 250 rounds to a bag.

A-Mark Liberty 1-oz silver rounds

A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., has been minting The Liberty 1-oz silver round since 1983. These bullion rounds met instant success with demand often outstripping the supply. The obverse side of the Liberty Silver Round features America’s national symbol, The American Eagle, with arrows in its talons surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies. The reverse of the Liberty one ounce Silver Round depicts the historic Liberty Bell. The the words, “Life, Liberty, Happiness” are written above the bell’s image. The A-Mark logo and “999+ PURE SILVER” are also stamped directly on reverse side of this silver round. A-mark 1 oz rounds usually come in tubes, 20 coins to a tube.

Generic 1-oz silver rounds are all the silver rounds produced over the last thirty years by firms that are no longer in business or silver bullion rounds marketed by small firms that are still in business but are not well known.

Generic one oz silver rounds usually do not display the manufacturing mint’s hallmark or name, and they come in a myriad of designs. Generic silver rounds usually come 250 rounds to a bag.
