When stacking silver, bulk purchasing isn’t reserved for wholesalers anymore—it’s a smart strategy for the average investor, as well. One of the most effective ways to get big in silver is through Monster Boxes, and at AU Bullion, we’re noticing more Canadians are doing so in 2025.

So what is a Monster Box, anyway, and why are savvy investors using it in place of purchasing coins outright?

Let’s break it down.

What is a Monster Box?

A Monster Box is a big, secure silver box of coins—most commonly 500 coins—directly from a government mint. The coins tend to be 1 oz silver bullion coins, packed in tubes and contained in a tamper-evident box.

Here’s a brief rundown of what typical Monster Boxes contain:

• 20 sets of 25 pieces each (for example, Royal Canadian Mint’s Silver Maple Leafs)
• A total of 500 troy ounces of .9999 pure silver
• Mint-sealed packaging for authenticity and security

Monster Boxes are a top choice among long-term investors as well as smaller institutions due to their high silver weight and convenience of storage.

Why Buying in Bulk Just Makes Sense

There’s a good reason that more individuals are taking the Monster Box approach in 2025: they save money.

When you purchase silver coins in smaller quantities or even individually, you tend to pay premiums higher than the spot price. However, Monster Boxes enable you to:

• Reduce the price per coin by offering bulk pricing.
• Avoid repeat shipping charges
• Lock in higher amounts at prevailing market rates

As silver prices surge during international turmoil, locking in a higher amount may now be more lucrative in the long run.
