Bullion coins are gold and silver coins that are valued by the weight of their precious metal. They are guaranteed of weight and purity and collectors typically acquire them to store wealth or hedge against inflation. Because they are measured based on their precious metal weight, bullion values can fluctuate based on the daily price of gold & silver.

Common bullion coins we buy and sell

American Silver Eagles

Starting in 1986 with President Reagan and his mint director, Donna Pope, these pure .999 silver 1 ounce coins are legal tender and are extremely popular with investors. The obverse (front of the coin) has a beautiful depiction of Lady Liberty based on the classic Walking Liberty Half Dollar. 

Silver Canadian Maple Leafs

With a purity of .9999 and very attractive, we always love to buy these great 1 ounce coins and aim to keep them in stock due to their popularity. The Royal Canadian Mint has recently began their Wildlife series and Birds of Prey releases.

Austrian Philharmonics

.999 in purity and 1 ounce, these well-liked bullion coins can oftentimes be purchased at a slightly lower premium, but are still government releases. The Austrian Mint has been producing coins for over 800 years. The longest continuously operating mint in the world.

Australian Kookaburra

Changing in design every year, these lovely 1 ounce .999 silver coins are always popular with collectors and investors, as is other Perth Mint material, such as Silver Kangaroos.

Walking Liberty Half Dollar

With a run from 1916-1947, these 90% silver half dollars remain extremely popular and in high demand. Depending upon the date in condition, values can vary, but we are always glad to purchase them. The key dates, or most valued, in the "Walker" half series are 1921, 1921D (Denver Mint), and 1921S (San Fransicso Mint) due to low mintages.

1 to 100 ounce Silver Bars

.999 Silver Bars are very popular with bullion collectors looking to achieve the best price per ounce. They most often come in 1, 5, 10, kilo (32.15 troy ounces), and 100 ounce bars. Some silver bars that we see frequently are from Englehard and Johnson and Matthey. If we don't have what you are looking for in stock, we can order it for you!

Silver Rounds

While not legal tender coinage, these are popular with bullion collectors looking for a great value. Many different designs exist including .999 Buffalo and .999 Incused Indian Rounds. We buy and sell these items frequently.

90% Silver U.S. coins

Also known as junk silver, any dime, quarter, or half dollar produced 1964 and prior, is 90% silver. We buy, sell and trade these very often and are happy to make an offer based upon current silver prices. Most Roosevelt dimes, unless proof or very high grade, produced from 1946 to 1964 would be considered bullion and desired mostly for metal content value. Likewise, the majority of 1964 JFK half dollars are considered bullion due to the high mintage that year. Also, most later date Washington quarters, excluding errors or double dies, are bullion in decades leading up to and including the 1960s. The exception for this is the 1932D (Denver Mint) and 1932S (San Fransisco Mint). Because of low mintages those dates and mint marks, the 1932D and 1932S quarters are key dates with numismatic value. After 1964 quarters and dimes had no silver content. However, half dollars from 1965-1970 contained 40% silver content. The only nickels the U.S.produced with any silver content are known as War Nickels, produced from 1942-1945. These nickels contained 35% silver, and were introduced to remove nickel, which was a critical war material. Many of our clients purchase rolls of 90% silver dimes, quarters, and halves. We offer volume discounts on larger purchases of 90% silver often, as with other bullion coin purchases.

Modern U.S. Gold Coins

Beginning in 1986, the U.S. Mint has produced 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 ounce American Gold Eagles. They are attractive and very fluid. We buy, sell, and trade these very frequently. Many varied commemoratives are released as well in uncirculated or proof. The 1/10 and 1/4 American Gold Eagles are in high demand and therefore have more of a premium than the 1 ounce Gold Eagles.

Canadian Maple Leafs
