Silver Coins and Bars

About Silver Bullion?

Silver has played an increasingly important role in global precious metals markets since the early 2000s. Periods of market volatility—including the 2008 financial crisis, pandemic-era disruptions in 2020–2021, and renewed macroeconomic uncertainty—have reinforced interest in physical silver bullion. In late 2025 and early 2026, silver prices reached multi-year highs, driven by strong industrial demand, constrained supply, and continued investor participation.

Silver Bullion Products Explained

Silver Bullion Bars

Silver bars are produced in .999 or .9999 fine silver, depending on the mint, and are available in a wide range of sizes, commonly from 1 oz to 100 oz. Silver bars are often chosen for their lower price per ounce compared to government-minted coins, making them popular with buyers focused on maximizing silver weight for their capital.

Silver Bullion Coins

Silver bullion coins are struck and guaranteed by sovereign government mints and typically carry a legal-tender face value. Modern silver bullion coins are produced in .999 or .9999 fine silver, depending on the issuing mint. The range in silver coin sizes typically varies from 1 troy ounce to 1 kilogram, with 1 oz coins being the most widely traded format. Buyers often accept slightly higher premiums in exchange for government backing, strong liquidity, and universal recognition.

Silver Rounds

Silver rounds resemble coins but are produced by private mints and do not carry legal-tender status. Silver rounds are commonly struck in .999 or .9999 fine silver and typically trade closer to the silver spot price, offering a cost-efficient way to own physical silver in flexible 1 oz formats.

Silver Bullion Pricing

Prices for silver bars, coins, and rounds are driven primarily by the live silver spot price, which reflects real-time global supply and demand. Premiums vary based on product type, mint, size, and market conditions. During periods of strong demand or limited availability, premiums—especially on highly recognized silver coins—may increase.

Delivery & Secure Storage

Silver bullion can be shipped securely and discreetly, with full insurance, tracking, and adult signature requirements. Kitco also offers allocated, non-bank silver storage, where bullion is fully insured, segregated, and recorded as your direct property.
